Ventura County Boat Show
Last Saturday We went to the boat show in Channel Islands Harbor. It is the first boat show I have ever been to and it was pretty cool. Of course there are the usual pushy booth attendants and people trying to sell timeshare who in my opinion shouldn’t have been allowed a booth there but I’m not running the show. There were a lot of cool things to see like Duffy Electric Boats and C-Dory boats who both had a few boats on display. Another company called Quickline who sells a handful of marine parts was demonstrating a type of anchor called the Ultra Anchor. They had a couple of troughs simulating different types of bottoms and really cool miniature anchors of all types. I thought the mini anchors were so cool that I couldn’t stop playing with them.
They also had a cool miniature bow of a sailboat that we couldn’t help but to pose our 6 month old baby with
Here is a clip of the anchor demonstration done by the person at the booth
Hennessey’s Tavern were representing with beers and burgers and we happily obliged
In the water there were probably 50 or so boats on display ranging anywhere from power yachts to 50 foot sailing catamarans. Hunter, Catalina, Beneteau and Com-Pac sailboats were also representing and It was fun going onboard and checking out some of these big boats.
Here is a little video of my checking out a new Catalina 470
