Jetboil and Canadian Ocean Racing Announce Technical Partnership Advancing the Cooking Facilities Onboard O Canada.
Jetboil, the world’s leading brand of outdoor cooking systems, and Canadian Ocean Racing (COR), Canada’s premier IMOCA Open 60 racing program, today announced the integration of Jetboil’s award-winning cooking stoves onto O Canada, Canada’s fastest ocean racing sailboat. This partnership allows the crew to significantly cut down cooking time, and focus more on navigation, sail trim, and other demanding tasks required when racing on the ocean.
Jetboil cooking systems offer a fast, compact, efficient design, making it simple to share the joy of eating anywhere outdoors, but particularly under potentially harsh environmental conditions. With the best simmer control of any compact cooking system, Jetboil stoves do so much more than just boil water. Whether you’re whipping up coffee for your group or adding your touch to a tasty stir-fry, Jetboil stoves provide reliable versatility for all your needs.
COR Skipper Sandy Macpherson provides his comments, “What makes Jetboil so crucial to our campaign is the compactness of the entire system. The fuel canisters fit right into the bottom of the burner, and we can use the cup to eat. This eliminates the need for bowls or coffee mugs, because the cup used to boil the water, turns into both of those.”
“Jetboil knows that any activity that requires consideration around weight, size, and fuel usage will benefit from our best-in-industry cooking systems. A certain amount of ‘the unknown’ is what makes an adventure adventurous, but no one wants surprises with their dining experience whether on the water or on the mountain. We engineered our cooking systems to be compact, fast, and efficient so you can count on being well fed anywhere you find yourself in the outdoors,” said Gary Lacey, Jetboil Brand Manager. “Jetboil is committed to simplifying and personalizing outdoor cooking and fueling a world of exploration.”
