From bespoke powercats and rugged hardtops to electric propulsion, heritage restorations, and Kiwi industry milestones, our August issue celebrates innovation and tradition across boating. We explore Raglan’s harbour spirit, shark research powered by Yamaha, alternative sailing rigs, refits done right, and the passionate people shaping New Zealand’s marine future.

The July issue spotlights the debut of the Rayglass Legend 2700 and features reviews of the Innovision 616 Venture and Assault 920 Amphibious. It dives into battery systems, marine mammal tracking, and NZ’s new emissions rules. Feature stories follow adventurers across Cook Strait, swimmers in the Bay of Islands, and volunteers in Dominica. Jo Aleh’s inspiring career is profiled, alongside coverage of fishing techniques, model shipbuilding, and Wild Thing 100’s race ambitions.

The June issue explores Kiwi innovation and adventure, from the Stabicraft 2050 Frontier and Elliott 1150 Tourer to antifoul debates and hybrid trends. Readers will find tales of Atlantic crossings, classic yacht regattas, Etchells battles, and Kelsey Muir’s Lipton Cup win. Features include a tribute to Graeme Woodroffe, a profile on waterjet propulsion, and insights into battery maintenance, caulerpa threats, and emerging marine fuels. Plus, Riva furniture, Whiskey Project vessels, and the rebirth of Kokoru.

This issue features boat reviews of the Elite 13.8m Sedan Kaeā, set for the Marlborough Sounds; the practical Matera 40 catamaran; and the innovative electric Candela C-8.

We also take a deep dive into Weapon of Choice , and a Dibley 7.5, and one of New Zealand’s most famous racing yachts.
