Toronto Boat Show Opening Weekend

TIBS 2020 opening weekend

Jan 23, 2020

Per tradition, Toronto was hit with a good amount of snow just in time for the opening weekend of the Toronto International Boat Show. Did that stop the crowds? Absolutely not, we welcomed a huge crowd opening weekend. Preview Day also saw very strong crowds with the second highest opening Friday in the past 21 years with attendance reaching over 3000 guests.

In addition to great crowds, the third annual Women’s Day took place on Sunday, January 19th and was an absolute success. With a crowd just shy of 100 women a full day was spent moving through seated and practical seminars – including trailering and docking.

From sea fleas to water ski’s it’s safe to say the shows may have it all and are looking forward to a full final weekend.

Come snow or sun we are looking forward to another full weekend of boating fun!

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
