What a month March was for boaties!
Festivals, yacht regattas, fishing tournaments and settled weather we so missed last year allowing boating fans to fully enjoy them.
Kicking the month off was the St Arnaud’s Antique and Classic Boat Show on Lake Rotoiti in the Nelson Lakes district in the first weekend of March. The 24th edition of th show was a great success, billed by some international commentators as the greatest clasic boat show on earth. It attracted hunmdreds of unique and interesting boats and thousands of visitors. See our feature pon page 94.

However, as I write, there’s no denying autumn has arrived, with cooler temperatures and the subtle change in light quality that always accompanies shorter days. Fortunately, autumn can provide superb boating and uncrowded anchorages, so lets enjoy it!
Happy boating
