Adult Workshop: The interest is very high so we decided to run the workshop every Wednesday ALL YEAR ROUND. Come in and build any model you want and take as long as you want to build it. The cost is only $150. The experience is priceless!!! Do you know someone that is confined but is into the hobby?? Our roving instructor will be happy to pay a visit and help with issues or simply critique the builders work. Contact the store to set up an appointment.
Radio Control: Come and check out our new line of books dealing with the radio control hobby. We are fully stocked on radio control sail and power boats.

Restoration: Cast Your Anchor is heavily involved in the repair and restoration of both static and radio control models. There is always a challenge waiting for us on our work benches.
What’s Coming
Rockers? The deal was to good to pass up! You have heard of rocking horses. How about rocking boats, trains, cars and motorcycles. These rockers are made of maple and are exquisitely finished. Available later this month.
Finished Models: Ok, another good deal that was too good to pass up. Beautifully finished models from offshore will be available next month at the store. Instant gratification for those of us with a penchant for all things nautical.
Marine Museum: If you are interested in helping us to re-establish the Toronto Marine Museum, please contact the store. The City of Toronto is willing to lend us their artifacts and we are actively looking for a location. Let us know if you would like to become involved.
