The Hamilton Boat Show Runs From February 14 to 17, 2014

Hamilton Boat Show 2014

Central Ontario Boat Show & Sale (Hamilton Boat Show), February 14-17 (Family Day Weekend) is held at the Careport Centre in Hamilton. This is the show’s 4th year, and everything indicates that it’s going to be even bigger and better than last year.
 
Features:
•    Leo Stakos and Ron James with FishTV are back – both with the pond and the fishing simulators for the seasoned fisherfolks.
•    Confederation Marine Modelers – everyone loves them toy boats what can I say? They are a great feature at the show. We bring a pool, fill it with water and kids spend the entire day learning how to operate remote controlled boats.

NEW THIS YEAR – Is our Canada’s Power & Outdoor Zone — we are extending our wings to the recreational power products section to include PWCs, ATVs, snowmobiles and motorcycles. Because we know that boaters just aren’t boaters and a lot of our dealers do more than just sell boats – such as:
o    DeWildt Honda – with Honda Power Products
o    Revs Full Throttle – BRP Power Products & Argo
o    Kelly’s Cycle Centre – Yamaha Power Products
Contest:
•    We’re doing a give – away. One lucky attendee who fills in a ballot will win a Honda TRX420FM ATV courtesy of the show…
Exhibitors:
•    Lots of interesting new exhibitors…
Tim’s Tribute:
•    COBBS has also put it’s shoulder behind  Tim’s Tribute – a new charity providing assistance to families of innocent victims of homicide.  From the Tims Tube facebook page – exhibitors can purchase tickets and get $5.00 OFF – COBSS will donate that $5.00 to Tim’s Tribute.

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
