- Canadian Coast Guard. "Given the importance of Canada’s oceans and interrelated inland waterways, the federal government is mandated to play a lead role in ensuring their sustainable use and development.

It is within this context that the Canadian Coast Guard has become a key national institution by which Canada exerts its influence over its water and its coasts and delivers on public expectations of clean, safe, secure, healthy and productive waters and coastlines. A vital symbol of Canada’s sovereignty as a maritime nation, the Coast Guard delivers services to Canada and Canadians on four equally important levels:
- delivering Coast Guard programs;
- supporting departmental programs;

Somerset Sails.
"Our Prices for American made sails are low. Yet we do not import sails
from China and the Pacific Rim like so many lofts in the US have resorted
to, to eliminate labor costs and increase profits.
We guarantee our sails and have invested in the software, equipment and
facilities to build sails with a great crew.
We specialize in building sails and shipping them around North America and
Internationally.
We also ship Furling Units and convert sails to roller furling use.
Eighty-five percent of our sails are shipped outside New York and out of
the remaining fifteen percent, most of them are shipped to various parts
of New York.
So shipping sails and hardware is our way of operating in this new age.
We've shipped our SAILS to Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico,
Venezuela, Canada, England, Nice, France and recently to Thailand....
Our main territory is from Florida to Alaska, Maine to Hawaii
and every state in between.
Our sails are constructed by sailmakers with modern equipment and current
software to cut great sails with the best variety of sailcloth ever
available in this industry and we assemble them here at our loft in
Western New York and ship them to you."
