The Auckland International Boat Show, just over a month away
The Auckland International Boat Show, just over a month away, will be the centre of New Zealand’s biggest boating event since the America’s Cup when it opens in the Viaduct Harbour from 11 to 14 March.
Boat show organiser, the Marine Industry Association, expects a sell-out of exhibitor space on land, and a packed display of new boats on the water. The floating exhibition will sport a new layout to accommodate the America’s Cup class yachts competing in the Louis Vuitton regatta and their entourage – an active, bonus display in the Viaduct Harbour, from 9 – 21 March.
Boat show ticket holders benefit from a buy one, get one free offer at Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum. Ticket holders must present the Voyager advert from the programme to qualify and to discover Blue Water Black Magic - A Tribute to Sir Peter Blake..
Making its debut outside of Japan, the 28ft Toyota Ponam with New Zealand-built, aluminium hull, fibreglass top and twin Toyota inboard engines is fully spec’d with full electronics and a comfortable interior.
Riviera will display what may be the show’s largest boat: the new Riviera Flybridge 70 which will be driven over from Australia via Lord Howe Island in February. Priced at more than NZ$6million before options are added, it features al fresco dining with seating for eight, aft; four staterooms and four bathrooms; large lounge and dining, and an inviting galley fully equipped with Miele appliances. The master cabin takes the full beam, aft, while the VIP cabin is for’ard with a queen-size berth. The motoryacht’s twin 1825hp Caterpillars give her a top speed of more than 32 knots. The spacious flybridge and saloon are linked by an internal staircase. She has hydraulic bow thrusters and stern thrusters.
Riviera will also display its biggest sportsyacht, the 5800, which features triple IPS 600hp drives, European styling, full-beam master cabin and two bathrooms; and its mid-range, IPS-driven, 44 sportsyacht, with two cabins and en suites – described by Riviera as “a lot of bang for your buck”.
Smart Marine will include new product ranges including heavy duty, welded construction fenders; inflatable lifejackets with quick release belt, cellphone pocket and external reflectors; and a new range of inflatable boats built to ISO9002 standards.
Johnson Yachts International will exhibit its 17m Carter/Johnson launch powered by twin Volvo IPS 600 diesel drive units for superior manoeuvrability and economy. The boat cruises at 20 knots – ideal for weekend getaways. A customised interior is available.
Calibre Sails of Whangarei will be at the show, bringing their 30 years experience to the cruising and racing market, from their committed team of sailmakers.
Also from Whangarei, Norsand Boatyard provides a haulout, hardstand, repair and refit yard which specialises in traditional and modern craft. It repairs all building materials, interiors and exteriors and mechanical and electrical services.
Lenter Marketing will introduce the space-saving, height-adjustable, swivel table frame suitable for cabin and cockpit, thanks to an unobtrusive mounting plate.

Surprises at Auckland International Boat Show
The 2010 Auckland International Boat Show will fly even higher,thanks to new,major sponsor Pacific Blue which will bring international media to New Zealand's premier boat show.
Also new to the show is Panasonic TOUGHBOOK. Peter Busfield,executive director of the Marine Industry Association which organises the show,welcomes the high calibre of sponsors.
"Every year,the boat show makes major steps forward on previous years,in quality of displays,media profile and entertainment,"he says. "As it attracts bigger sponsors,we are able to provide even better service to our exhibitors and visitors to the Auckland International Boat Show."
The show,organised by the Marine Industry Association from 11 to 14 March next year,will be an extravaganza of boating delight,featuring new motoryachts and sailboats from the local market and overseas, beautifully restored classic yachts and launches, used boats for sale,latest products in electronics, engines, marine accessories and boating systems,and an even higher level of interactive displays.
These will include Coastguard's boat-handling opportunities with a qualified instructor. The new Destination Hall will help boaters of all levels get more fun from their boating time. Friendly,informed enthusiasts will share information on cruising,fishing,sailing and other waterborne thrills in local waters,or - for those seeking overseas adventures - on sailing holidays,resorts and flotilla cruising in Australia and the South Pacific. One lucky family will win the show's gate prize,a yacht charter in Tonga with The Moorings,including flights for two.
Discover Boating,the MIA's new initiative to encourage landlubbers into boating (www.discoverboating.co.nz),will feature prominently in the Destination Hall while Water Safety will run a programme on marine life,safety and environmental issues,aimed at 8-12 year olds. MIA executive officer Peter Busfield says the MIA is inviting schools to attend four-hour,interactive sessions at the show. "The aim is to introduce and educate the next generation into water activities and build their awareness of opportunities and environmental and safety issues,"he says. The Cruising and Safety Hall,an extremely popular addition to last year's show,will return with seminars on topics such as weather,rescue,kayaking,learning to love your diesel engine and passage planning.
Peter Montgomery will reign on the air waves as the voice of the show and Boating New Zealand will celebrate 12 years as major sponsor. The new boats will include a sailing catamaran from the Robertson and Caine range,the Leopard 38 - badged as a Sunsail 384 - which offers the latest in performance,comfort and an abundance of outdoor space for tropical cruising.
This design,from Sunsail,Robertson and Caine,and Morrelli & Melvin (designers of high performance cats such as PlayStation and the world record setting Cheyenne),features edgy Euro styling and a generous sail plan.
