Positive Sales Start at the US Sailboat Show in Annapolis

Anchor Yacht Sales

Anchor Yacht Sales of Port Credit, Ontario, an exclusive Beneteau dealer for the past 24 years, announced that they have sold a new Beneteau Oceanis 38, in fact Hull number 1 of this brand new design, on the very first day and in the very first hour of the 2013 Annapolis boat show in Annapolis, Maryland.

In spite of a torrential rainfall that started the morning, showgoers were coming out in force and the vibe was clearly positive for new boat sales.
