The Boat Show season has ended, and you have attended! We drew 3 names from the ballots you filled out at our booths at the Toronto International Boat Show, the Toronto Cottage Life Show, Montreal, Halifax, Calgary,  Ottawa, Vancouver and Moncton Boat Shows.

The winners are Carla E. from Vancouver, Don M. from Waterloo, and Marcy M. from Ottawa.

Each winner was sent an ICOM IC-M94D Handheld VHF Marie transceiver with DSC and AIS valued at $400!

The M94D is the world’s first handheld radio to possess the power of AIS. A class-leading 1500 mW speaker and ocean-conscious features. The M94D is perfect for small boats and leisure craft looking to stay safe and informed. Learn more here.
