What’s Coming

Bluenose Model Contest: Cast Your Anchor and the Queen of the North Atlantic Enterprises are working on a Bluenose Model Contest to be held in Lunenburg this coming summer. Keep this in mind. Every model will receive recognition. We will have more information in January.

Distribution and Wholesale: Cast your Anchor is diving into the distribution and wholesale business. We are attempting to distribute fittings from Argentina and Canada. We are also attempting to bring product directly from China. Should this work, our customers can expect significant cost saving dealing with Cast Your Anchor. Keep tuned for an update.

Model Registry: Cast Your Anchor is proposing to build a database of ship models that are built by our customers. Some of the information to be included would be the name of the builder, the owner, the year in which it was completed and some of the characteristics of the model. This database would be used to authenticate models. The model would be issued a certificate. The database would be managed by Cast Your Anchor and be archived within a nautical museum. Please indicate if you would like to have your model registered.
