Message From The Editor
New Products Make Boating Better
This week we wanted to put a positive spin on the Editor’s Message by turning the spotlight on a selection of new products that our industry has introduced at the winter boat shows. It’s been a busy season!
One of the earliest and largest boat shows was “boot” Dusseldorf that opened January 18th as did the Toronto International Boat Show. The Vancouver International Boat Show opened January 29th while the Seattle show was January 31st and the one that probably attracted the most new products was the Discover Boating Miami Boat Show on February 12th. In Montreal we had the Salon du bateau du Montreal opening on February 20th. And, those are just the more notable Canadian and American shows. So, we went back three months to showcase what we felt were a dozen of the more significant new product and industry announcements that made their debut at these early-year shows.

With the United States launching a trade war against Canada and imposing 25% tariffs across the board, the Canadian government and the Provincial governments are working urgently to respond to what is today, our new reality. Prime Minister Trudeau, the other Party Leaders and the Premiers are all talking about the importance of “Canada First”, “Made in Canada”, trade between provinces, and Canadian companies selling to other Canadians coast to coast.
