True North Yachts To Represent Beneteau Powerboats

True North Yachts and Beneteau

True North Yachts, based in Port Credit, Ontario is now the exclusive dealer for Beneteau’s Powerboats Division in Ontario.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome True North Yachts as our exclusive partner for the Beneteau Powerboats Division in southwestern Ontario,” says Beneteau America President Laurent Fabre. “True North Yachts has earned the respect and admiration of their industry peers and most importantly their clients. We look forward to working closely with their team to exceed customer expectations in every way,” remarks Fabre.

Partners Allan Mestel and Rob Richardson founded True North Yachts in 2008. Initially conceived as a sailboat dealer, the dealership has recently expanded into the powerboat segment, recruiting seasoned powerboat sales professional Peter Solty to lead their powerboats initiative.

TNY Co-founder Allan Mestel explains, “We recognize powerboats represent 90 percent of the global marine market, and the global strength of Beneteau provides us with the ideal partner – giving us access to a broad range of the best quality product being built.”

True North Yachts will represent Beneteau during the U.S. Powerboat Show October 3 – 6 in Annapolis, MD where Beneteau will display eight powerboats ranging from 29 to 51 feet and will also participate in the Toronto Boat Show January 11 – 19, 2014 displaying two Beneteau powerboats.

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.
