2nd Annual Port Credit Spring Boat Show a Success

{videobox}xcR54Pg6lkA{/videobox}The second annual Canadian Yachting Magazine Port Credit Spring Boat Show was held over the weekend at the Port Credit Village Marina. Friday was a spectacular Day followed by good Saturday and then a lousy cold and rainy day Sunday. That said a strong flow of boaters seeking to see a wide selection of new and old sail and power yachts carried out through the whole weekend. The first two days had a festive feeling and the exhibitors enjoyed the crowds that came through the show. But on the Sunday the visitors coming to look at the boats for sail were a hardier group and foul weather gear was worn by most. 

All said the show was a strong success the vendors and boat dealers are already setting the stage is for next year’s Spring boat show.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
