Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Persistence based?
She’s moored at a small marina on the north shore of Lake Ontario, Ontario, Canada. We’ll share more location detail as the season progresses.
What’s a CS 33?
A CS 33 is a Canadian-designed fiberglass sloop built by CS Yachts of Bronte, Ontario between the late 1970s and early 1990s. Ours is a 1981 model. She has character. Lots of it.
Are you professional sailors?
Not even close. Sam has a coastal cruising certification and strong opinions about anchor chain. Billy reads charts with genuine enthusiasm. Max once fixed a lawnmower. We’re learning as we go.
Can I visit the boat?
We’re keeping the marina semi-private for now, but reach out — if the season goes well, we may open things up.
