Canadian Boat Shows announces that their new Show Manager for the Vancouver International Boat Show will be Amanda Henschell.
For the past 18 years Amanda has been the National Marketing and Show Manager at Fraserway RV and BC’s 2 RV Shows (Snowbird RV Show & Sale, Earlybird RV Show & Sale), both held at TRADEX in Abbotsford.
Amanda lives in Surrey, BC and will work from a home office. We expect her to be a strong fit for the Vancouver Show & Exhibitors and complement our existing Canadian Boat Shows team.
She has a high level of experience producing consumer shows in a recreational lifestyle/products industry, while working within a dealership and an extensive marketing background. She has an exceptional reputation with exhibitors in their shows, as well as the venue and marketing agency.
Amanda will begin her role starting September 19 on a part-time basis, so that she can complete her responsibilities on the upcoming RV Show (Sept 29-Oct 2). Once the RV Show is over, her time commitment will increase following their event and transition to full-time by October 11.

Monaco Energy Boats Could Be Heading to Canada
The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.
The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.
When your radar misses the target, you need a better mount
Questus Marine patented, Self-Leveling Radar Mounts automatically keep radar antennas level with the horizon, eliminating target loss.
Regardless of the angle of heel, with a Questus mount, a radar antenna will pick up targets to either side of a vessel, rather than aiming to the sky and water (for planes and fish). The Questus Marine Self-Leveling Radar Mount can be installed in three basic configurations: backstay mount, mast mount or Stern Pole mount.
