Boating New Zealand

Boating & Outdoors Group held its annual two-day conference in Rotorua on July 28-29. Boating NZ was invited to attend.

Across many exhibits, there were numerous options available that reduce environmental impact.

The BF350 features a new, ultra-slim, single-line silhouette to create a stylish, muscular appearance suitable for any watercraft.

In last month’s article you found me returning to Auckland one day after abandoning a trip out to Sauvage for an afternoon picnic I had planned for my parents. The water proved a little too lively on that day but did allow me views of Sauvage from land. A short glimpse was all I needed to see that Sauvage’s sail cover had come loose from its ropes to flap around in the wind. I returned the following day and was able to secure the sail cover.

A few months ago, I wrote about the design and installation of a new galley layout for my boat Divecat. During that process I installed a new hot water system for the shower and sink. Regular readers will recall that the installation was not quite finished, and I still needed to get a certified gas-fitter to complete the gas installation.
