Bigger is better this year at the London Boat Fishing and Outdoor Show

London Boat and Fishing Show

The Western Fair District will be filled to the brim with The London Boat Fishing and Outdoor Show offering even more boats, RVs and outdoor experiences than ever before.  Under new management, Continuum Productions, producers of the Central Ontario Boat Show & Sale have created a show experience featuring many of the Provinces top boat brands recreational power products, marine & fishing accessories.  

Anglers have the opportunity to learn from Leo Stakos and Ron James stars of the hit TV series FISH TV, whom will share their insight and expertise.  A very exciting feature of the show this year is the FISH TV Family Zone where families can try their hand at fishing for free in our very own indoor pond.  For the seasoned fisherfolk FISH TV has provided fishing simulators to test their skills with interactive games.  Attendees can take a stroll through The Great Canadian Fishing Store to purchase new fishing tackle and accessories or to learn more about the outdoors through such associations as OFAH, the Ontario Federation of Angler and Hunters.

Brand new to this year’s show is Canada’s Power & Outdoor Zone because boaters aren’t just boaters. Whether showgoers have just started looking for a new vehicle, toy or place to lodge this summer, this is the place to find specials and get questions answered. One lucky show attendee will win a Honda TRX 420FM ATV courtesy of the show.  

Members of the RCMP will be present at the show to explain the new joint initiative with US law enforcement.  The Canada-US Shiprider program was launched in June 2013, allowing vessels jointly crewed by specially trained and designated Canadian and U.S. law enforcement officers to transit together across the border. The goal of the program is to help secure the waters from issues of national security and prevent cross-border smuggling and trafficking. 

The Confederation Marine Modellers should surely not be missed as they display model replicas boats both historical and current. All will be able to learn from the masters how these model replicas are hand crafted. Families alike will get their chance to earn their own Captains License, by trying their hand at driving a pint sized remote controlled replica of some of the very same boats on the show room floor.

The London Boat Fishing and Outdoor Show is taking place at Western Fair District. All who attend will receive free visitor parking.   For more information on the London Boat Fishing and Outdoor Show and to purchase discount tickets please visit www.londonboatshow.ca.

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.
