CY’s TIBS Contest Winners

TIBS Contest

Apr 12, 2023

The Toronto International Boat Show was a great success this year, bringing over 65,500 consumers through the gates of the Enercare Centre. Canadian Yachting had a strong presence at the show and had a fantastic time meeting everyone at the booth.

Visitors could grab copies of the February issue of Canadian Yachting Magazineand flip through old archives. Kids could colour boats at a colouring station and there was a retail portion where customers could purchase any of the PORTS Cruising Guides including the brand new 2023 Lake Ontario edition.

CY also had a popular contest at the booth. By subscribing free to Whatever Floats Your Boat during the boat show, attendees were entered for a chance to win one of three prizes: Steiner Binoculars from Stoeger, Auto Inflate PFD from Mustang Survival or a Mercury Swag Bag.

The boat show brought in boaters from all across the country and the winners were picked at random after the show and contest had closed.

Congratulations to our three winners!
1. Colin McGruer, Vancouver Island / Steiner Binoculars Navigator 7×50
2. Evelyn Lacerda, Port Credit Yacht Club / Mustang Auto Inflate PFD M.I.T. 100
3. Max Krüger, Bedford Basin Yacht Club / Mercury Swag Bag

 

Thank you to all of our subscribers and the thousands of attendees who visited us at the booth.

See you next year at TIBS! Save the dates: January 19 – 28, 2024.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
