In the last few years I’ve noticed many more young people at industry events — IBEX, MIBS, FLIBS, METS — who weren’t there during the downturn. While we gray-hairs still outnumber the 20- and 30-somethings working entry-level through midexecutive positions, a few bolder family-owned companies, such as Edson and Ritchie, have installed younger presidents who bring the energy, drive and foresight the industry needs to find its way forward.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
The generational churn is happening at the highest levels: NMMA, Brunswick Corp., MarineMax and dozens of other businesses are watching their old guards surrender the CEO seats to younger leaders with new ideas. Brunswick, once generally seen as the Darth Vader of boat and engine manufacturers, is now branding itself a lifestyle and technology company. Brunswick not only is ushering in a new era of the connected boat, but its Freedom Boat Club acquisition shows how it’s betting on the way millennials will boat in the future. What a generational shift.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
This “Generations” issue uses a broad definition of the word. We look at companies where sons and daughters are moving into the business, but we’re also seeing the challenges family businesses are facing since the downturn. Prerecession, many owners had been considering retirement around 2010 but postponed it while they fought for their companies’ lives.</div>

Davids and Goliaths</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
While business has returned to prerecession levels, day-to-day pressures are just as intense for family-owned distributors, dealers and equipment manufacturers — in new ways. The acquisitions and consolidation across these segments have created larger public competitors, along with pressure to deliver products and services faster, courtesy of the Amazon business model. As a result, smaller family businesses have become the new Davids facing much larger, better-capitalized Goliaths.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
The generations theme also has many positives: Bass fishing is exploding at the college and high-school levels, Discover Boating has launched a social media campaign zeroing in on younger first-time buyers, and diversity seems to be taking hold across the industry, at least with age and gender.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
One of the best trips I’ve taken this summer was to Mercury Marine headquarters. I’ve been to Mercury many times since 1990 — as recently as five years ago for its 75th anniversary — but the changes I saw in Fond du Lac this time were impressive. We’ve all read about the $1.14 billion Mercury has invested in infrastructure over the last decade, including $9 million for a new die-cast facility expansion and $30 million for a new propeller facility. The old ’50s-style factories are still operational (if not a bit grim), but I also saw facilities like the $10 million Noise, Vibration and Harshness building that opened in December. Mercury is slowly but surely transitioning for its future.</div>

Redefining Mercury</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
What really impressed me were the number of young women and men working in engine assembly. On my last visit, the workforce was mostly 50-something males. They’re still very much present. Now, however, women are driving forklifts, assembling outboards with pneumatic tools and overseeing robotics. Almost half — 49 percent — of the assembly area’s workforce is female, up 20 percent in the last five years. It was great to see my old concept of Mercury being realigned with the new reality.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
Ernie Anderson, general plant manager of assembly operations, says the addition of robotic and other labor-reducing equipment has helped transform the assembly floor for men and women. “We’ve been trying to eliminate hand-loading across the facility and reduce wasted movement at every job station,” Anderson says. “The goal is to make men and women interchangeable in all jobs.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
That’s a truly next-generation idea. </div>

Greenwich Boat Showhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15636696145338132550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435200297439934705.post-40406098758898788622019-04-02T06:58:00.000-07:002019-04-08T06:58:40.284-07:00Boating season ready to launch in Greenwich<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
GREENWICH — Boaters from around the region are prepping their vessels
for the opening of the boating season, ushered in by the Greenwich Boat
show next weekend.<br />
<br />
As the season opens with the warmer weather, boaters and
marine operators are talking about some of the latest gadgets that are
rolling out for navigation and fishing, and the advantages of various
kinds of propulsion systems coming to the market. On a more serious
note, the marine community is also coming together to oppose a proposal
to raise state sales taxes on boat purchases, as well as on storage
fees.<br />
<br />
<div class="asset_media asset-media">
<div class="gen" data-config-asset-position="3">
<div class="mm-player-container">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Rick Kral, president of the <a href="https://www.greenwichwaterclub.com/guest-welcome">Greenwich Water Club</a>
and founder of Greenwich Boat Show, said expectations are running high
among the boaters in the region, as the warm weather gets them in a mood
to rev their engines on Long Island Sound.<br />
<br />
<div class="hdnce-e hdnce-item-50044">
</div>
“The biggest buzz in the industry right now is bigger
outboard engines. They’re coming out with higher horsepower outboard
engines — they can get away from three motors in the back and get away
with two. It’s a better balancing program, for the boat, and with weight
displacement, it’s little more efficient to run two engines rather than
three. And you only have to service two engines,” Kral said.<br />
<br />
New instrumentation is another aspect of the boating world that gets lots of discussions going.<br />
“Electronics are upgraded every year - touch screen has
gotten bigger and more available - and more functional in the marine
world. And more cost effective. Some of the night-vision technology is
still pricey, but it’s getting a little more popular. People love
gadgets and toys,” said Kral.<br />
<br />
The question of higher taxes for boat sales, as well as
new taxes on boat storage, is likely to be another topic of discussion
this boating season. Gov. Ned Lamont’s recent budget proposal <a href="https://ctmirror.org/2019/02/27/gop-mccaw-spar-over-tolls-tax-hikes-in-lamont-budget/">would increase the sales tax rate on boats from a 2.99 percent rate to 6.35 percent</a>,
and also begin charging the sales tax on winter boat storage. The sales
tax was previously dropped 2.99 percent. Opponents of the tax hike
noted that Rhode Island has no sales taxes on new boat purchases, which
would put the Connecticut market at a disadvantage.<br />
<br />
John Herman, who owns the John Herman Marine Center in Stamford, said a tax hike would be counter-productive.<br />
<br />
“Financing rates are low, and that allows people to get
into the sport. But any additional costs will hurt that,” he said. “How
about cutting (state) spending.”<br />
<br />
Herman said one trend he is seeing is an increase in
joint ownership of boats, a type of time-sharing. It especially appeals
to the younger segment of the market, he said.<br />
<br />
“I think we’re going to see more of that, given the cost
of purchasing a boat, and carrying it,” said the Stamford boat dealer,
based in Shippan. “The next generation of boat-buyers has more of a
rental mindset. They shy away from commitment,” he said with a laugh.<br />
<br />
At the Greenwich Water Club, Kral said he has also seen a
move toward time-sharing. Club members have an option of taking out
boats from the club on a short-term basis, and the program has been
popular.<br />
<br />
“That’s appealing to a lot of our members, who want to
use a boat here or there,” he said. “Joint ownership programs are
growing very rapidly all along the East Coast.”<br />
<br />
As to the tax issue, the Greenwich marine operator said a tax hike would be a short-sighted move.<br />
“It would be a huge step backwards, especially since
Rhode Island is very aggressive in supporting their marine industry,” he
said. The boating industry in Connecticut should have an opportunity to
make its case that a tax hike would end up dampening revenue for the
state, Kral said.<br />
<br />
“In the end, it’s an industry, and we employ a lot of
people. There’s a lot to be said for the economics generated by boat
sales,” he said. “Give us an opportunity as an industry to prove that.”<br />
<br />
As to the boat show April 6 and 7, Kral said the expo will be the biggest in the organization’s history.<br />
“We’ve got a great mix this year, 22 dealers, the most
we’ve ever had, and everyone is bringing some great boats. It’s going to
be exciting - and we’ve got Lamborghini coming, with a couple of hot
cars, to have a little extra eye candy,” he said.<br />
<br />
The event, which is free, will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at 49 River Road, Cos Cob. For more details, visit <a href="https://greenwichboatshow.com/">greenwichboatshow.com</a>.</div>

<b>Greenwich Boat Show will offer another unique experience in 2017<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now entering the ninth year since it was first imagined, the
Greenwich Boat Show continues to be a favorite among Northeast boaters. And for
good reason. There’s absolutely no other boat show like it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This boutique in-water show has built its reputation by
offering a diverse selection of new power boats and yachts, with unparalleled
access via sea trials to let boaters feel how these boats ride on the open
water. Greenwich Boat Show will continue to offer free admission and exciting
pre-show raffles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The 2017 Greenwich Boat Show will be held April 8 and 9,
from 10am to 4pm, on the Mianus River in Cos Cob, Connecticut. It’s the only
boat show that offers free sea trials and free admission. Boaters have access
to test drive multiple new boats on Long Island Sound, to compare how they each
handle. This year’s show will have plenty on offer, with over 100 boats
representing 35 different brands from 16 of the best dealers in the region. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Boaters in the market for high-end, luxury vessels can test
such brands as Chris Craft, Tiara, Cruiser Yachts, Fairline, Back Cove,
Southport, MJM, and True North. They’ll also be able to try Hunt Yachts,
Vanquish, Azimut, Galeon and Meridian. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anglers hoping to reel in a great fishing boat will have
plenty to consider. They can test sport fishing vessels like Everglades, Scout,
Grady White, Pursuit, Boston Whaler and Regulator. They’ll also get to try
great fishing boats from Release, Edgewater, Sea Fox, Sea Hunt, World Cat and
Robalo. For a special experience, step aboard American Tug.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Families looking for that perfect cruising vessel will enjoy
such brands as Sea Ray, Monterey, Carolina Cat, Chaparral, Sabre, Regal and Bennington
pontoons. <o:p></o:p></div>

sea-trials in advance <a href="http://www.greenwichboatshow.com/">www.greenwichboatshow.com</a>.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a surf and turf spectacular, Lamborghini will return with
two of their newest models. Also replaying this year, enter a chance to win one
of two great raffles prior to the show. Winners receive either a Garmin
handheld GPS or an overnight stay at the Cos Cob Inn to make it a “Boat Show Weekend”

<b>2016 PRESS RELEASE: Greenwich Boat Show<br />
DATES: April 2 & 3, 2016<br />
HOURS: Saturday & Sunday 10 am – 4 pm, rain or shine<br />
WEBSITE: </b><a href="http://www.greenwichboatshow.com/"><b>www.greenwichboatshow.com</b></a><span class="MsoHyperlink"><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Many Styles of Boats Ready to be Tested at the Greenwich Boat Show<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why should you buy a boat? The reasons are as varied as the
experiences you can have boating, from fun-filled days on the water with your
family to the thrill of reeling in a trophy fish to the joy of socializing with
friends on a stylish, luxurious yacht.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 32.25pt; tab-stops: 679.5pt;">
No matter
what size and style of boat you’re considering, you’ll have plenty to choose
from at the 2016 Greenwich Boat Show. This year’s show will be held April 2 and
3, from 10 am to 4 pm each day, at the Greenwich Water Club in Cos Cob,
Connecticut. The Greenwich Boat Show is the only in-water boat show that offers
free sea trials, and its location along the Mianus River gives boaters easy
access to test out multiple boats on the open waters of Long Island Sound. This
year’s show will have plenty of boats to try, with more than 110 boats
representing 43 brands from 19 of the best dealers in the region. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 32.25pt; tab-stops: 679.5pt;">
Of all the
thrilling experiences you can have boating, perhaps no boating experience beats
the thrill of feeling a tug on the end of your fishing line and the rush of
adrenaline as you reel in an underwater beast. Anglers looking to buy that
perfect fishing boat will find a huge selection of the industry’s best fishing
boats to explore at the Greenwich Boat Show. Available to test will be such
high quality, versatile fishing boats as Robalo, Regulator, Everglades, Cape
Horn, Release and Sea Pro. Other fishing favorites on hand will be Scout Boats,
Sea Fox, Grady White, Pursuit, Edgewater, Boston Whaler and World Cat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 32.25pt; tab-stops: 679.5pt;">
But maybe
you’re not a fisherman. Maybe you’re looking for a family boat, a vessel on
which everyone can enjoy an exciting cruise to a new port, swimming off your
deck near a sandy island or being towed behind your boat as you’re wakeboarding
or waterskiing. If your family is considering becoming a boating family, you’ll
be able to explore plenty of boats at the show perfect for cruising and
watersports. Featured will be stylish, comfortable vessels from Cruisers Yachts,
Sea Ray, Monterey, Chaparral, Four Winns and Regal. Families looking for a dual
hull can check out Carolina Cat, and those eyeing the spacious, comfortable
layout of a pontoon boat can test boats from Premier Pontoons and Bennington.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 32.25pt; tab-stops: 679.5pt;">
Of course,
you might have different tastes. Instead of fishing or family fun, you might be
looking for something that exudes luxury. After all, a luxurious yacht can be
more than just a boat. It can be a comfortable, stylish setting perfect for
entertaining friends and family. It can be a vehicle for exploring beautiful
destinations. And it can be a relaxing oasis where just stepping aboard lowers
your blood pressure and brings a smile to your face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re considering getting a luxury yacht that is
stylish, comfortable and features all the amenities you could want on a boat,
you’ll get to explore some of the best luxury boats on the market at the show.
On display will be such innovative, luxurious brands as Tiara Yachts, Chris
Craft, Back Cove, Carver, Bavaria Yachts, Formula, Jeanneau and Azimut Yachts.
Other high-end, luxury offerings include Galeon, Meridian, Sealine, Hunt
Yachts, MJM, Southport Boats, Vanquish and Sabre.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To secure a chance to test boats at the show, attendees
should schedule a sea trial in advance online by visiting the show’s website at
<a href="http://www.greenwichboatshow.com/">www.greenwichboatshow.com</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also at the show this year, boaters get a chance to win one
of two great raffles offered before the show. Raffle winners receive either a
Garmin eTrex handheld GPS receiver or a free overnight stay at the Cos Cob Inn
on Saturday, April 2, letting the winner enjoy the boat show the entire
weekend. Results of the raffle will be announced on March 29. And, for the
first time, Manhattan Lamborghini will be at the show with two of the newest
Lamborghini models on the market.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Consider, for a moment, life without a fishing boat. That
means no hanging out with your buddies sharing laughs as you chase down fish in
Long Island Sound. No seeing the excitement on the face of your child or
grandchild as you help them reel in their first keeper from the deck of your
boat. And no chance for you to escape the hassles of everyday life by heading
out on the water alone to try landing a few stripers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Pretty bleak, huh?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Luckily, if you don’t have a fishing boat, you can fix that
by heading to the Greenwich Boat Show on April 11 and 12 on the Mianus River in
Cos Cob. The Greenwich Boat Show has become a favorite among Northeast boaters,
who are invited to walk along the docks and test out new boats on the open
waters of Long Island Sound. The show has long been known for its impressive
variety of powerboats, and this year’s show will feature the largest collection
of dealers and boats yet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Fishermen will enjoy the show’s
huge selection of fishing boats to consider. On hand will be boats from
Regulator, the makers of some of the world’s finest offshore fishing boats, and
the legendary, unsinkable Boston Whaler. Stylish, versatile and reliable,
Edgewater powerboats are also sure to receive a lot of attention at the show.
Boats from Scout Boats and Sea Fox, with their intelligently-designed vessels,
will be on hand. Grady White and Pursuit, both known for their great cruising
as well as fishing vessels, will have models at the show. And for those who
want to fish from the stability and comfort of a dual hull, they can try out a
World Cat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">And that’s just the beginning. Besides
fishing boats, the Greenwich Boat Show will feature a variety of other styles,

At some point, everyone has dreamed about owning a luxurious

sea vessel that turns heads as it pulls into port. A boat that epitomizes
luxury with its style, its high-quality craftsmanship, comfortable layout and
amenities galore. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

fuel-efficient jet propulsion and a shallow draft that makes navigating easy.
But it is Hinckley’s beautiful lines steeped in Maine’s maritime heritage that are

that are among the best center console boats around, will be at the show.
Boaters will also get the chance to tour and test gorgeous and comfortable

technologically-advanced powerboats available. <o:p></o:p></div>

“Family Time” has never had it tougher than it does today.
With busy schedules and people getting lost in their smartphones and video
games, it’s harder than ever for a family to come together around one thing
they all love and enjoy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But there is one thing that still unites families: boating.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whether it is kids laughing as they cruise over the waves, or
the enjoyment you feel traveling to new ports, or the thrill of discovering a
secluded cove where you can swim, picnic or fish, boating has a way of bringing
families together and changing lives like few other activities can. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re thinking of making your family a boating family, you’ll
have plenty of family-friendly boats to consider at the Greenwich Boat Show on
April 11 and 12 on the Mianus River in Cos Cob. A favorite among Northeast
boaters, the Greenwich Boat Show invites attendees to walk the docks and
actually test out boats on the open waters of Long Island Sound. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Greenwich Boat Show is also renowned for its incredible
variety of powerboats. This year’s show will feature the largest collection of
dealers and boats yet, so families looking to purchase a boat will have a huge
selection to choose from. One of the show’s family cruising heavyweights is
sure to be vessels from Sea Ray, which, with its spacious cockpits and
comfortable cabins, has become synonymous with family cruising. Boaters will
also be able to tour family favorites such as Regal, Monterey and Chaparral. For
boaters interested in the performance and comfort of a dual hull vessel, models
from Carolina Cat will be on display. And for the kind of layout and comfort
that only a pontoon boat can provide, pontoons from Bennington and Premier will
be available.<o:p></o:p></div>

actually go out on the open waters of Long Island Sound. The show has earned an
admirable reputation among the region’s boat shows because of its location,
incredible variety of motor boats, and ability to allow customers to sea-trial new
boats to feel how they handle in open water. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

fifth, the folks at A & S Boats in South Windsor have the know-how to match
you to the perfect boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

They know how to ask the right questions, listen to the needs of each customer,
and put their extensive product knowledge to good use to save boaters time and
money.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Chaparral 327 SSX: </b>The
327 SSX mixes bowrider roominess with a full-beam cabin. Equal parts family
bowrider, performance-minded sport boat and overnight cruiser, the 327 was the
NMMA's Innovation Award winner the year it was christened. With its standard
fiberglass hard top, striking interior accents, dual forward facing helm seats
and practical full beam cabin, the 327 is one-of-a-kind. A stainless steel
windshield and heavy-duty rails say quality in every detail.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Chaparral 264
Sunesta:</b> Built to the precision standards you expect from Chaparral, the
264 features stainless steel hardware, a Kevlar reinforced hull, Quad Radial
lamination and an integrated cockpit drainage system. An optional thru-hull
exhaust allows you to turn the performance volume up or cruise in quiet luxury.
Stain-resistant upholstery, a self bailing cockpit and a molded drainage system
are all designed to take your cares away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Chaparral 216 SSi:</b>
Turn low-key weekends into exciting adventures with a 216 SSi that delivers
Chaparral innovation at its family bowrider best. Wide Tech engineering
provides a smooth, dry and confident ride with more space in the bow. Stainless
steel hardware, premium vinyl and molded recessed side panels add a touch of
class and are engineered to last. A large Bimini, front windscreen, full height
windshield and a hinged bow door combine for all season comfort. Time-tested
Quad Radial lamination with Kevlar reinforcement keeps the strength up and the
weight down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Portland <span style="color: #0070c0;">and Norwalk</span> has a well-earned
reputation as one of the most respected yacht sales and service centers in the
Northeast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Petzold’s is a dealer for such boat lines as Back Cove,
Sabre, Edgewater and Regal<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: #0070c0;">and</span> they are home to <span style="color: #0070c0;">one

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sabre 38 Salon
Express: </b>The Sabre 38 Salon Express represents the latest in design and
naval architecture. It is built in the tradition of Maine boat building:
beautiful, strong, steady, reliable and very seaworthy. Yet below the skin,
technology is everywhere, from its resin-infused laminates, to state of the art
systems, to the pod propulsion drive. Its hull lines are the latest thinking in
vee-hulled motor yachts and are specifically designed for the installation of
pods, allowing fuel economy, quiet running and a pleasant dry ride. The
interior provides an open design that will suit a day’s outing with friends as
easily as a longer cruise. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the 35 Sport Coupe is playing chess. Tired of canvas? The 35 Sport Coupe
features the unobstructed view through glass. Like a hardtop, but don’t want to
always exclude the sun? The push of a button retracts the convertible top. Hot
summer days forcing you in the cabin? The 35′s cockpit AC helps you keep your
cool. With all the amenities of a 50 foot yacht in a 36-foot package ~ Check
& Mate.</span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Express</b>: <span style="color: #0070c0;">One of the most popular</span> Back
Cove mode<span style="color: #0070c0;">ls</span> to date includes the same
practical features, usability and low maintenance, which have built the
popularity of the Back Cove brand since its inception. Its master stateroom features
an island berth for ease of egress, and many lockers and drawers are provided
for gear. To starboard aft of the master is a full guest cabin with double
berth and plenty of storage capacity. Opposite and to port is a large head unit
with separate stall shower. Between the lower and salon sole levels, there is a
mid-galley fully-equipped with a refrigerator, a freezer , microwave and deep
stainless steel sink, as well as many drawers and lockers for galley storage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

reels, and set a course with friends for that secret fishing spot offshore. The
next morning, the dog waits patiently next to the boat gear for a day on a
secluded beach, chasing a Frisbee with the kids as you prepare the water tube
for rides. As the day concludes and the blue sky gives way to a brilliant
orange sunset, the memories of the weekend and the comfort and versatility of
the 280CX draws a deep sigh of enjoyment from the family, and your four legged
mate. Built with an unsinkable deep-V design and using EdgeWater’s proprietary
SPI (single Piece Infusion) process, and powered with Yamaha’s reliability and
fuel efficiency, the 280CX makes it possible to escape and create memories
every day. Within the 280CX’s clean lines conceals outstanding seating and
storage.</span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Join us April 12
& 13, 2014, 9 am – 4 pm at the Greenwich Boat Show!<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Twin Hull Boats in Bridgeport is just what the name says:
They exclusively sell power catamarans. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The folks at Twin Hull are the only authorized sales and
service dealer in Connecticut for World Cat, Glacier Bay, Carolina Cat and
Livingston power catamarans. They are convinced that dual-hull boats provide a
better ride than monohulls, with better fuel economy, stability, comfort and
fun in any kind of weather. And they think that if you try one, you’ll be
convinced, too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some examples of the boats they offer include:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">World Cat 295 DC: </b>An
upgraded version of World Cat’s most successful model, seating improvements
abound on this vessel, improving comfort and increasing capacity to 10 people.
The twin captains’ chairs have been changed to twin bench seats with flip-up
bolsters. The forward bow seating allows better lounging, and with optional
flush mounted seats in the transom and gunnel you can enjoy lounging in the
cockpit when you’re not fishing. The euro-style walk-through transom brings you
closer to the fish and allows easy access from the water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Carolina Cat 23 DC: </b>Carolina
Cat’s 23 DC is a mid-sized dual console with a full-sized head enclosure. And
it gives you big boat performance in a mid-sized package. Best of all, the 23 DC
takes full advantage of the cat shape, giving you seating for 10 in its wide
beam. There’s plenty of room for a cruising crowd and lots of open cockpit
space for fishing fanatics. Perhaps best of all, unlike most mid-sized dual
console monohulls, the Carolina Cat 23 DC has a full-sized head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Glacier Bay 2740 DC: </b>A
wonderful combination of features and ride makes the 2740 dual console the most
versatile boat on the water. Whether you are piling the kids in the bow for a
trip to the beach or ranging far offshore for billfish, you can do it in this
vessel. The 2740 features 27 feet of open boat space with a full stand-up head
in the port hull. There is seating for six under the standard hardtop, four more
in the box area and two aft with the optional flip-out seats. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Join us April 12
& 13, 2014, 9 am – 4 pm at the Greenwich Boat Show!<o:p></o:p></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
With a reputation for exquisite craftsmanship, innovation,
service and performance, the Hinckley Company has become synonymous with the
highest levels of yachting.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
While the company is based in Portsmouth, Rhode Island,
Hinckley was born from Maine’s rich maritime heritage. That’s reflected in
their boats, from each vessel’s beautiful lines to its sturdy build, strong
enough to take on the challenges of the North Atlantic. <o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
To see Hinckley’s innovation and craftsmanship, look no
further than their popular jetboat. Hinckley originated and perfected the
concept of a jetboat — a vessel powered by engines but propelled by waterjets. Jet
propulsion ensures reduced drag, greater fuel efficiency at high speeds and
environmental sensitivity. And remarkably shallow draft affords you easy access
to beaches, sandbars, and other secluded spots.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Hinckley’s boats feature classic shapes and dramatic lines,
but they’ve also merged the integration of new technologies into their
craftsmanship. The result is a fleet that articulates a timeless aesthetic and
the most advanced practices in yacht design and construction. For some examples
of Hinckley’s boats, check out the following:<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hinckley Picnic Boat
MKIII</b>: This vessel’s strength comes from the most advanced hull
construction techniques in practice today. And it features new technological
and design elements that make it the most exciting picnic boat ever crafted by
Hinckley. A raised pilothouse deck delivers superior visibility, seated or standing,
giving captains a more commanding view, and a sense of connection to the
environment. Relaxing and entertaining are taken to a new level with a
spacious, open-deck design and step-up pilothouse deck ideal for lounging with
loved ones or serving a small party of friends. And with power hatches and side
windows with push-button control, it’s easy to keep everyone onboard
comfortable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hinckley Daysailor
42: </b>Hinckley’s DS42 has an Old World elegance that is immediately apparent
in her 13 feet of overhangs and carbon fiber spars meticulously painted to a
wood-like finish. The cockpit, while maintaining a traditional feel,
accommodates six to eight passengers and provides a comfortable helm seat for
single-handed sailing. This vessel is perfectly designed for days on the harbor
and nights with guests, anchored in a tranquil bay.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Join us April 12
& 13, 2014, 9 am – 4 pm at the Greenwich Boat Show!<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nobody cares for you like family. And the Catalano family at
Catalano and Sons in Greenwich has been making boaters feel like family for
more than 50 years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Serving boaters on the waters of Long Island Sound, Catalano
and Sons is one of the region’s premier dealers. They offer customers
award-winning customer service and feature an impressive inventory of boats
from Grady White and Hurricane Deck boats. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At the Greenwich Boat Show, Catalano and Sons will be
introducing Grady White’s new 251 Coastal Explorer. The 251 CE is the first of
its kind from Grady White, and it represents a whole new category of
inshore/offshore boat. Designed for practicality, utility, ease of use and
family fun, the 251 CE will keep boaters and passengers comfortable while
navigating back waters, beaches, waterways, sounds and inlets. It’s Grady
White’s answer for off-the-beaten-track coastal fun and versatility in skinnier
water. But this is not a “bay boat.” It offers much more offshore capability
and versatility than any boat in its genre.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The 251 CE features low gunwales that provide very easy
access to the water, and a bow ladder for beaching. Transformable seats forward
and aft go from bench style to lounge, making the boat perfect for playing,
relaxing or socializing. As with every Grady White, add rods and tackle and you
have a fishing boat that is without peer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Catalano and Sons will also feature a variety of Grady
White’s popular Freedom Series at the show, including the Freedom 335.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>With a modern design and packed with
amenities, the Freedom 335 is a beautiful blend of form and function. This
large dual cabin boat can handle every need a boater may have for it, from
serving as a fishing boat to towing wakeboarders to family cruising. With
plenty of seating, the Freedom 335 is set up for entertaining. It has three
large coolers, plenty of storage, and it comes with a standard hardtop that
lets you squeeze more out of the boating season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Also at the show, Catalano and Sons will have their
Hurricane deck boats on display, including the Hurricane SunDeck 2200DC.
Hurricane deck boats are simply the most fun you can have on the water. No
other boat is designed to be as versatile. No other boat has more layout
options. And no other boat is built to maximize your fun with family and
friends the way Hurricane deck boats are. The wide open layouts in the SunDeck
line make the best boating activities easy: cruising, watersports, fishing,
rafting. Or you can just spend the afternoon relaxing. The choice is up to you<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Boating” can mean many different things to different
people. It can be time spent cruising and picnicking with your family. It can
be a day of fishing with your buddies. Or it can simply be an escape from the
rigors of daily life. Whatever “boating” might mean to you, the folks at Beacon
Point Marine excel at meeting boaters’ needs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A full-service marina with locations in Cos Cob and Shelton,
Beacon Point Marine’s sales and service departments have been meeting the
diverse needs of boaters for 25 years. They offer a large inventory of new and
pre-owned vessels, and they’re an authorized dealer for Scout Boats, SeaFox,
Carolina Skiff and Premier Pontoons. Some examples of their boats include the
following:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Carolina Skiff 198
DLV: </b>While its unsinkable, all-fiberglass, modified-V hull is designed for
offshore excursions, the wide beam and narrow draft on the Carolina Skiff 198
DLV lets you navigate across shallow flats, up coastal rivers and even into
tidal creeks. The 198 DLV comes standard with a spacious console, high-speed
bilge pump, cushion seat set, built-in cooler and lots of storage space for
family gear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Premier 310 Boundary
Sky Dek: </b>The only double-decker pontoon boat available in the Northeast,
Premier’s 310 Sky Dek is a pontoon like no other. It boasts a Coast Guard
capacity of 25 people, making it the perfect boat for hosting a summer party.
To spice things up, the second deck station even features a slide, which
promises entertainment for kids of all ages. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Scout 245 XSF: </b>This
power-packed center console features a 125-gallon fuel tank, helping anglers
get to the fishing grounds and back with unprecedented range. The
technologically-advanced, fuel-efficient NuV3 hull means tremendous fuel
savings, and the bow flare assures a very dry and exceptionally smooth ride
when slicing through rough seas. The Scout 245 XSF also features insulated port
and starboard fish boxes, an insulated forward cooler, and the forward console
seat houses an insulated console cooler.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
