Toronto International Boat Show stars on the Jan 12th and runs until the 20th. I will likely be there on the 19th - hope to run into some of you.

Looks like they have started the process of converting the ice rink into the indoor lake - the usual webcam is up and running already.

Wife and I will be going at least once---got to get windlass,GPS etc. ,etc and some frilly stuff for inside.our boat is 088370278 just a bit ahead of yours I think---- Mike

Pretty close in terms of vintage by the looks of things. Mine is a '79. I notice you are in Burlington but keep the boat up on Georgian Bay? Mine is kept in Hamilton, at Harbour West.

If it turns out 19th is your day for the show maybe we can hook up (or for that matter, we should be able to hook up at some Burlington watering hole any time!)

Sounds good--- you are correct--I had seen an old post about hull numbers and mixed you up with the fellow from Oakville--had a carver at lasalle years ago ,five minutes from the house and am just getting back in now---always liked these boats --Mike

Hope you guys stop by the Parkbridge booth #431 to say hi. Met TC and Torcan last year. Mike, stop by. I run Bay Moorings across the bay from you. I will be there for the duration. Jimbo

Going to miss it this year...... come to think of it every year now that I'm South for the Winters

Sitting in Punta Gorda, FL right now it's already 79 Â°F in the salon at 10:30 am.... that's 26 Â°C for you Canucks

P.S. had a nice visit with RWS and his Admiral the other evening.

Saw this at the show. Looks like a good product for aft decks/cockpits.

Here's another one that I thought would be handy guys. Great for winterizing, flushing, etc. Check it out.

Tony, you would have liked the 50 Prestige. The transom lifts up, there is dinghy storage under the deck with a winch in there, push a button and it rolls your dinghy inside. No davits needed!

I've seen that set up, it cost more than my boat....
