Vanquish: Full speed at TIBS!

Vanquish Boats

 

Jan 10, 2019

At the Toronto International Boat Show next week, we will see an increased presence for Vanquish Boats and company owner Morgan Huntley will be at the show in person. “In 2018 Vanquish Boats transitioned into a semi-custom builder, helping to expand our positioning as the premium brand in class,” Huntley explained. “This move also allowed us to be more creative with our clients with regard to fulfilling their wants and needs for special features.”

“Some of the larger changes include the construction materials such as an ultra-premium vinyl ester epoxy, tri, and bi-axial stitched Eglass, and a new recycled core material called CoreLite PET. This makes our boats stronger and lighter, and the most efficient boats in class. The 26CC has a top speed (w/Mercury 250hp) of 53 MPH with an efficiency of 2.2 MPG. At a cruising speed of 42MPH, the efficiency is a whopping 3.0 MPG.”

Recently, Vanquish Boats expanded their line to offer seven different models including 21’ center console, 23’ center console, 23’ cuddy cabin, 24’ runabout, 24’ center console, 26’ runabout and their 26’ dual console.  Vanquish is focused on designing and building classically styled boats in the New England tradition, handcrafted in Bristol, Rhode Island by generational craftsmen, some fourth generation.

With these changes and their expansion from being inboard-powered to also offering outboard alternatives, Vanquish is aiming at customers who boat on the  Muskoka Lakes, Québec, the Thousand Islands and other areas where there is an appreciation for classic styling with the elegance of semicustom building.

Executive Yacht is the dealer for Vanquish. Look them up at the Toronto Boat Show, January 18 to 27.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
