Toronto Boat Show LIVE January 20-29, 2023!

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 34 (The Greatest Loop) was at the Port Credit Yacht Club this past Saturday afternoon for a viewing, combined with a cocktail party sponsored by Anchor Yacht Sales the Beneteau Power Boat Dealer, Powerboat America-Beneteau Group and Canadian Yachting. The new Trawler was a great hit with the guests who got to explore the fit and finish of this magnificent vessel as well as see the versatility and ease of handling that was demonstrated in the harbour.

Spring commissioning should include a look at everyday items that we often take for granted. Easily overlooked are inflatable PFD’s, but they shouldn’t be. These important safety items – which automatically or manually inflate with the tug of a pull cord – have been around over 25 years, but there are still quite a few misperceptions about these life saving devices and how they work. The BoatUS Foundation set out to debunk some of the myths:

Vertex Marine is a BC manufacturer of quality wiring and cables for the marine industry and has recently expanded its lines. A longtime supplier to commercial vessels up to 200 meters that meet Transport Canada standards, Vertex has expanded their line of wire and cable for recreational craft as small as 10 meters, and are now meeting full ABYC standards as well.

Vertex wire and cable is spec’d in all Coastal Craft yachts, built in Gibsons BC.

Victoria-based SALTS (Sail and Life Training Society) has received a donation of a 69’ yacht recently appraised at $1 million. Florida-based businessman and philanthropist James C. Ray donated his sloop Tango which is moored in Sidney. SALTS is now seeking a buyer for the yacht so funds gained from the sale can be used to help construct a new 140-foot wooden schooner. The new ship will provide sail training to teens and young adults alongside the society’s two existing ships. Ray’s private foundation has also pledged an additional $250,000 toward the project to be given at a future date.

Ontario’s premier boat show, the Port Credit In-Water Boat Show, is celebrating 21 years August 26-28, 2011. It will be staged once again, at the Port Credit Harbour Marina – The Boating Super Centre, Mississauga, ON.

The Port Credit In-Water Boat Show is the ONLY boat show that features both new AND used power and sailboats in-the-water and on-the-hard.

C.A.S. Power Marine Ltd, exhibiting at the show for the first time, will be showcasing three new power boats – the 2011 Formula 350 SS, 2011 Starcraft 2119 and the 2012 Starcraft 22CSX (I/O). On the sale side, C&L Boatworks will be exhibiting the CL14 and CL11 – small, trailerable sailboats that are designed and manufactured in the Fort Erie plant.
