AnchorSuit™ Nominated For Best New Boating Product At Newport International Boat Show

August 6, 2009
 Westport, MA…The Newport International Boat Show is, traditionally, the first show of the new boat season at which manufacturers launch their new sail and power boats, as well as new boating products.  Recognizing this, the Show has long identified those companies that bring their new product introductions to Newport.  And, for the past few years, the best of the new boats and products have been selected in conjunction with Cruising World, Sailing World and MotorBoating magazines.  Nominees to this year’s Newport For New Products program were announced recently and include the AnchorSuit™ from AlongShore Products, LLC. 

The AnchorSuit™ is a neoprene wet suit type cover for the fluke anchor, which softens all impact points of the anchor.  Any boater knows that the fluke anchor is well known for its sharp, pointed and jagged edges which are hazards, as well as a nuisance.  So with this in mind, the AnchorSuit™ was created to prevent the anchor from causing damage and injury to boats and boaters alike.

One of the five largest in-water boat shows in the country, the Newport International Boat Show covers over 15 acres along America’s Cup Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island.  More than 850 exhibitors with over 700 boats ranging in size from 16 to 85 feet are expected to be on display, including express cruising yachts, racing sailboats, ocean-going trawlers at PassageMaker magazine’s TrawlerPort, a Multihull Lagoon, plus DownEast styles, sport fishing boats, runabouts, kayaks, canoes and inflatables.  In addition, there are engines, sails, equipment, safety products, electronics plus thousands of accessories and marine services, as well as seminars, demonstrations and workshops. 

The Show runs from Thursday, September 17 through Sunday, September 20.  Advance discount tickets are available on line thru September 16th.  Tickets purchased at the show on Thursday, VIP Day, are $27.00…$24 on-line.  On Friday, Saturday and Sunday the tickets are $18.00…$15 on-line.  Children under 12 are free every day when accompanied by an adult.  For more information, call 401-846-1115 or 800-582-7846 or visit our web site at www.newportboatshow.com.
