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.

Seventeen halls full of water related exhibits, perhaps a dozen of them full of boats and equipment. You might go to Miami or Annapolis to see the boat of your dreams, but you still wouldn’t get the same overwhelming scene. It might be because the whole show is inside that it is such an exciting event.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
