Canadian Yachting June 2017 - 18
The new facility in Markdale, Ontario
accommodates top quality molds and
glass work.
locally, the covers and Biminis made by third generation seamstresses in Parry Sound, and handmade oars coming from
Western Canada. The resins, glass cloth, hardware, plumbing,
and electrical components are all sourced from the United
States.
When all of the processes are complete, typically four to six
weeks from the inception of the process, the boat is sent to Sean
for quality control. The rigorous tests that the boats are put
through are meticulously completed using a 6-16 page checklist,
and can sometimes take as long as four days to complete for a
PortsToronto Presents
single boat. "The best part about semicustom boats," Sean happily tells us "is
that there is something new every time."
Even with the 60 rowboats and 200
plus powerboats they are currently producing out of this factory on a yearly
basis, each and every boat receives careful attention to detail and customizations
based on customer requests. Scott estimates that the infrastructure of the facility could accommodate an increase that is
three to four times what they currently
produce while still maintaining the dedication to quality and
craftsmanship that the business was founded on. "We're a very
different company now in terms of size, but we're no different
in terms of George's commitment to quality, performance, and
building boats one at a time." This historic dedication shows.
Each boat - very much a unique vessel at the intersection of customer input and handcrafted skill - is a product of the extended
Rossiter family.
They are pieces of art, testaments to craftsmanship, and a
new symbol of Canadian boatbuilding. *

Vantage Point: A “Flare” for Safety
Club Profile: Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club
Pacific Northwest Classic: Southern Straits Race - For the last 49 years, the West Vancouver Yacht Club has proudly hosted the Annual Southern Straits Race. Known for offering challenging conditions, this Pacific Northwest classic is a proud qualifying event for both the VanIsle 360 and Vic-Maui Yacht Race. This year, Canadian Yachting magazine’s Bob Nicoll sailed on one of the 82 boats that competed. By Bob Nicoll
Canadian Boatbuilder Profile: Modernizing Tradition at Rossiter Boats - The history of Rossiter Boats is one that combines passion, fostering of tradition, and an eye towards the future. It all started 40 years ago with 19-year-old George Rossiter repairing the wooden canoe of a fellow cottager on Go Home Bay. Now Rossiter is perhaps Canada’s fastest-growing boatbuilder. By Kate Fincham
Cruising Technology: Staying Connected - Your summer cruise may be a vacation, but a pretty sizeable percentage of boat owners do want to keep in contact, whether for business or family reasons. In the not too distant past it was a big deal to clear your responsibilities and be able to take off for even a few weeks. However, connectivity for the average boater is improving and within the financial reach of most. By Glen Cairns
The Port Hole
Sail Review: Jeanneau 51 Yacht
Power Review: Leader 33
