The Antique and Classic Boat Society Toronto (ACBS-Toronto) is excited be back in full operation with our 43rd show. This year’s show promises a full slate of activities for visitors to the show.

Show Chair Rob Durrant stated, “While cancelling last year’s show due to construction was extremely disappointing, we are looking forward to returning to Muskoka Wharf for our 43rd Vintage Boat Show. This show is a judges show, which ensures we have the best of the best on the dock.”

The Gravenhurst venue is a true jewel to hold an in-water boat show and this year we are expecting a full house of the finest antique/vintage wooden and classic fibreglass beauties in the country and beyond.

One exciting new initiative, the Muskoka Car Club Car Show, is taking place on the sports field.  And returning to the show is the Nautical Flea Market where boat owners can search for that elusive part for their vintage boat.  Looking to buy a boat, then check out the Boats-4-sale area.  There’s something for everyone in Vendors Alley.  Marvel at the beautifully restored Antique Outboard Motor Club display.  Introduce your children to the vintage boat hobby in the ACBS Youth Tent and Kids & Classics Tent for model boat building, paddle carving and much, much more.

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
