Welcome to the July 2025 edition of Boating NZ magazine, which leads off with an exclusive review of the new Rayglass Legend 2700 – two of them, in fact. The 2700 is an important new model for Rayglass, an evolutionary development of the company’s multi-award-winning Legend 2500, of which around 600 are in circulation. The newest Rayglass is available in several variants: inboard diesel, inboard petrol V8, single outboard (Mercury Verado 400hp V10 or 300hp V8) and twin outboard (Mercury 200hp or 225hp V6). We review the diesel sterndrive and outboard V10 models on page 22, as well as a new Assault 920 Amphibious and the latest from Innovision Boats, a 616 Venture that began life as a custom build for an Australian customer but is now part of the…

SailGP successfully finished a series of upgrades to all 12 wingsails ahead of the event in New York in June, following a full inspection and review. All 12 boats were fit for racing in New York. The issue was first discovered following testing and analysis of Australia’s wing following its collapse in San Francisco. The decision was made to cancel Enel Rio Sail Grand Prix in May after identifying a potential defect in select wingsails across the F50 fleet. Each F50 has since received an upgraded ‘Main Element 1’ (ME1) before racing began – the area of the wingsail closest to the F50 platform, which bears the most load in racing conditions. Further upgrades to the wingsails are also planned to take place throughout the season. In further SailGP news,…

Rising Kiwi 49er team Seb Menzies and George Lee Rush struck gold at the European Championships in Greece on June 9, their proudest sailing achievement to date and the first major success for New Zealand in the class since a silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Menzies and Lee Rush secured overall victory in a strong men’s skiff fleet with a day – and the medal race – to spare, having taken the lead on the second day of competition in Thessaloniki. They delivered a calm and consistent performance across the week, notching 11 top-ten finishes from 12 fleet races, before also placing fourth in the double-points medal race to win the regatta by a commanding 54 points. American crew Nevin Snow and Ian MacDiarmid were second, with…

SOME HIGHLIGHTS CELEBRATING KIWI BOATING HERITAGE: INNOVATORS, BUILDERS, AND TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP Exploring our sister website TRADE-A-BOAT archives reveals more than just boat reviews –it uncovers stories deeply rooted in New Zealand’s boatbuilding legacy. These four articles highlight how vessels like the Santa Maria, Gipsy and Oyster 53, with its rich New Zealand history, and the innovative work of Gerrand and Firman, connect us to that heritage. Each boat and builder reflects generations of skill, resilience, and passion. Whether newly restored or celebrated for pioneering designs, they illustrate how Kiwi maritime culture continues to thrive, linking past craftsmanship with present-day stories that still inspire and define New Zealand’s boating identity. NEW BOATS AND ENGINEERING INNOVATIONS: REDEFINING VERSATILITY AND PERFORMANCE ON THE WATER This month, our readers have enjoyed exploring a fresh…

Ranging from the 35m Cantiere superyacht to a bargain $12k rubber ducky, there was something for most tastes among the 824 boats on land or bobbing beside the pontoons at this year’s Sanctuary Cove Boat Show, May 21-24. The event is a major catch-up for the industry, so the bars and restaurants surrounding the marina were buzzing until late, as were the parties in the stylish Intercontinental Hotel nearby. And while helicopters buzzed overhead continuously, it wasn’t the fall of Saigon, although the atmosphere in the many hostelries where deals were struck was sometimes combative enough at what is the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest boat show. MYRIAD MULTIHULLS THE WORD ON THE PONTOONS was about stock available, with some grand vessels awaiting a buyer, such as the sumptuous Lagoon Sixty 5.…

That first model presented a striking design, with the plumb bow that allowed for a longer waterline length and increased forward cabin volume. The boat abounded with innovative features, and the unique hull design – with its ultra-wide down-turned chines – used the full beam of the boat for stability at rest, while the fine entry centre section delivered high-speed performance. Innovision also stood out as one of the first manufacturers to offer a 10-year structural hull warranty. Fast-forward to the latest Venture 616 model, and that same design ethos is immediately evident. The Venture is technically a mid-cabin model, although at first glance it appears to be a centre-console. From the side, it’s not immediately obvious that the high hull sides and raised forward casting deck conceal a full-width…

COMBINING A BREATHTAKING speed of 50 knots, unmatched fuel efficiency, long-range adventure capability, and the volume of a much larger vessel, the XF75 offers a revolutionary blend of freedom, performance and luxury. Advanced engineering delivers the rare combination of very high speed and very low fuel consumption for extended cruising at high speed, with a significantly smaller environmental footprint. Thanks to a unique hull and hydrofoil design and cutting-edge hydrodynamics developed over 15 years, the XF75 offers around 50% better efficiency than comparable motoryachts and a range of up to 1,200nm at 30 knots. It’s styled to look fast even when sitting still. The XF75 provides the generous living space typically found on much larger vessels, with more room to relax, entertain, and explore in comfort. The ability to land…

TECTRAX’S GROUNDBREAKING Boat-Launcher system, a remotely controlled, self-propelled boat trailer, debuted at the Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show. Tectrax has developed the Boat-Launcher system as a cost-effective and convenient solution for boat owners who love their existing vessels but desire effortless launch and retrieval. The system promises a dry and straightforward launch and landing process, allowing boaters to enjoy the convenience of amphibious technology with their preferred boat at a significantly lower cost than purchasing a new amphibious model. The Boat-Launcher is an innovative electric wheel kit designed for seamless integration by trailer manufacturers or boatbuilders. This collaboration results in true all-terrain trailers specifically engineered to tackle the diverse and often challenging conditions of New Zealand’s beaches, coastlines and lakes. At the heart of the Boat-Launcher is Tectrax’s unique electric…

His name is Octavius Lugay, but like other ‘boat boys’ and ‘yacht helpers’ (moorings, diesel, ice, and island tours) on the island of Dominica, he goes by a rather dashing nickname: Sea Cat. Harriet and I first met Sea Cat when we sailed our Dolphin 460 bluewater cat Hands Across the Sea (now named OCEAN) to Dominica in 2008. (Pronounced dom-in-EEE-ca, the island is the most southerly of the Leeward Islands of the West Indies – not to be confused with the Dominican Republic). We’d read in a Lonely Planet guide about Dominica, billed as the ‘Nature Island’ of the Caribbean, and we were intrigued: the island is mountainous and lush, with 365 rivers, thundering waterfalls, and rainforest thick with banana groves, mango trees, and exotic plants. Best of all…

Tucked right on the edge of Auckland’s Westhaven Marina, a newly-refurbished and reimagined office building is now ready to welcome a few more select tenants. Level 1 and Level 2 of 11 Westhaven Drive – now known as Cracker Bay – have just completed their architectural and interior design transformation, and the suites are officially ready for occupation. While some tenants have already moved in, the remaining fit-outs are now finished, offering a rare chance to secure workspace right on the water’s edge. Crafted with a focus on flow and functionality by global architecture firm Woods Bagot, and brought to life through high-quality construction and fit-outs by Platform, the upgraded building is part of a broader vision for a connected, comfortable, and community-centred precinct. The Cracker Bay master plan includes…

Petrel and Heather were the second and third clones of Aoma which Logan Bros had built for C. T. Brockhoff of Sydney and shipped in October 1899. Logan Bros built Petrel for Syd Dempster and Heather for Dr Gordon Craig, both of Sydney. Another year later, in November 1901, after Petrel and Heather’s outstanding successes in Sydney, they built the fourth clone, Culwulla, for Walter M. Marks of Sydney. In the last issue I followed the racing history of Petrel in Sydney, through her brief sojourn in Hobart during World War I, to her arrival on Port Phillip in 1919, racing out of Geelong. Stan Gamble of the St Kilda club bought her in 1927; he later took out her gaff cutter rig and replaced it with a Bermudan sloop…

Rayglass Boats debuted the Legend 2700 at the Hutchwilco Boat Show in May. This new vessel is an evolution of the company’s most popular boat and New Zealand’s most awarded fibreglass boat ever – the Legend 2500. This boat was tailor-made, considering almost 20 years of customer feedback on the Legend 2500. Rayglass founder Tony Hembrow says when designing the vessel, they wanted to address all the things that customers didn’t like and improve on all the features they did like. The result is a truly multi-purpose, trailerable vessel built to enable the Kiwi adventure lifestyle: fishing, long-range cruising, entertaining family and friends, or overnighting in complete comfort. The Legend 2700 still has all the features that Kiwis loved about the 2500: unsinkable hull design, high build quality, spacious cabin,…

After a successful inaugural competition in 2022, Yamaha is doing it again, with the #ImRePoweringWithYamaha competition for 2025. In 2022, Yamaha ran a social media-based competition, to give one lucky boat owner a NEW Yamaha four-stroke outboard motor, rigged and installed on their boat all for FREE! From the middle of June 13th, until August 3rd, Yamaha’s doing it again! To enter, for your chance to win a FREE Yamaha four-stroke outboard, simply create a video showing yourself and your boat telling the Yamaha judging panel who you are, where you’re from, and a bit about your boat – the name, make, outboard, hours etc. Most importantly, tell the Yamaha judging panel why you’d like to re-power your boat with a Yamaha outboard – video submissions should be up to…

The Government of Italy, in conjunction with Team New Zealand and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, has jointly announced Italy as the host country and Naples as the host city for the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup, to be held in the spring and summer of 2027. For the first time, the Louis Vuitton Cup and Louis Vuitton America’s Cup Match will be sailed in Italy, a country with one of the most colourful and enthusiastic America’s Cup histories. The fight for the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup will take place under the watchful shadow of Mt Vesuvius, just off the waterfront of the vibrant city. With a proud heritage and rich history, Italy and Naples offer the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup an unparalleled experience certain to add…

Developed from the award-winning 2500, the 2700 shares the same hull and an identical waterline length but is longer and wider internally, with more internal volume and more angular styling. Developed using almost 20 years of Legend 2500 customer feedback, the design team tried to address all the things that customers didn’t like and improve on all the features they loved, according to Rayglass founder Tony Hembrow. Available in sterndrive (petrol or diesel) or outboard configurations (single or twin), the majority of which come in at under 3500kg on an Alloy Tech tandem braked aluminium trailer, the Legend 2700 promises to be a winner for Rayglass. We compare the diesel and single outboard models. FRESH STYLING There’s a great deal about the new 2700 that looks and feels familiar. While…

There is a little bit that goes into planning a crossing. We decided to go from Picton to Wellington over two days. We planned to stay overnight on Arapawa Island near the entrance to Tory Channel. Dad and I both reached out to people in our networks who were familiar with this stretch of water. Graeme Henry (#160) was especially helpful. There are a few factors that need to line up for a crossing. Here are the three main ones, in my opinion: WEATHER. Dad found a wind rose diagram of average wind speeds and directions on Predictwind. Basically there are only two wind directions in the strait, due to geography: N to NW or S to SE. Both are good directions for reaching across the strait. What the wind…

Located beside Hobsonville Marina in West Harbour, with convenient motorway access, a sealed yard, haul-out facilities, and specialist trades on site, Neil Williamson and business partner Ben Freedman undertake a range of boat building, refit and repair work for recreational yachts, motor yachts and commercial vessels up to 70 feet long. With Neil’s background building racing yachts for Cookson Boats and Ben’s love of yachting, Nautique has pivoted away from building lightweight racers to building for strength – its repairs don’t break. The company has gained a reputation for problem-solving, dealing with any curveballs refit jobs may pitch its way. Over time, Nautique has found a niche meeting growing demand for repairs to modern production sail and motor yachts, repairing rotten motor yacht decks, and fixing keel damage in imported…

FOLLOWING THE SUCCESSFUL DEBUT of the first vessel, now cruising in Sydney, Australia, the second DEMEY 60 luxury powercat is progressing rapidly at DEMEY Yachts, with an anticipated launch date scheduled for later this year with Auckland its intended home port. Almost identical to her sister ship, the second DEMEY 60 showcases the same refined craftsmanship and thoughtful design by renowned naval architect Roger Hill. Currently, the exterior paintwork is well underway, and the interior is approaching completion, with final upholstery panels and hardware fittings now being installed. Designed for serious long-distance cruising, the DEMEY 60 boasts a cruising speed of 18 knots and an impressive range of 1,525 nautical miles. The yacht’s expansive volume allows for generous onboard living spaces and extensive storage, including a capacious upper boat deck…

FAMILY BOATS has announced a premier partnership with IRON Boats, a Swedish brand which has gained global recognition for its stealth-inspired design, superior functionality, and outstanding seaworthiness. IRON Boats feature tough fibreglass hulls paired with heavy-duty foam collars – delivering a new standard in day cruisers. Family Boats welcomes two standout models to its lineup: the IRON 707 T-Top and the IRON 907 Coupe. In addition, BRIG’s iconic Navigator line welcomes a bold new addition, the Navigator 20. Smartly designed for adventure in a more compact form, the N20 brings the perfect balance of performance, safety, and BRIG’s unmistakable style – as demonstrated by the existing Navigator 22, 24 and 26 models. And Family Boats’ 20th Assault build is scheduled for handover at the end of July or the beginning…

INNOVISION BOATS’ new IV616 Venture is a groundbreaking addition to the lineup. This 6.25m vessel sets a new standard for versatility, with a full walkaround layout and a spacious front casting deck, a roomy 1.9m v-berth cabin, plus a toilet, for comfortable overnight stays, and a sturdy Portofino transom for fishing or diving. There are plenty of storage options, including watertight lockers and a large underfloor compartment, as well as drawers in the bait station and under the centre-console seating, which also incorporates a 90-litre Icey-tek chilly bin. Innovative folding ‘doors’ add hardtop protection and functionality to the T-top. This model offers many options, including deleting the T-top, adding bow rails, and different transom layouts – even amphibious versions. See our review elsewhere in this issue. www.innovisionboats.com…

SENATOR BOATS has unveiled its new 550 Hardtop. Compact in size, this very capable 5.5m (5.9m overall) aluminium hardtop is designed for serious boaties who demand more from their time on the water. The Senator 550 delivers next-level ride comfort, game-changing Mission Modular technology, and rock-solid Senator performance in a versatile package that punches well above its weight. The 550 boasts a generously-sized cabin and a surprisingly spacious deck that maximises fishability and comfort for the whole crew. The 550’s variable deadrise hull provides exceptional sea handling and trusted seakeeping, whether you’re planing at low speed, carving through swell on multiple headings, or sitting solidly in a following sea. Fishing, diving, or chasing adventure, the all-new Senator 550 can handle it all – and then some. Senator Boats has also…

The extreme deep-vee hull and wide pontoons are capable of handling the roughest of sea conditions, while the spacious cabin with generous berths provides shelter from all weather. The powerful Yamaha F350 outboard with digital steering and controls is super quiet and easy to use, and despite the overall weight of the boat, this provides very good performance. The 400-litre fuel tank combined with the efficiency of the motor provides an extensive range, making it suitable for long offshore game fishing or extended overnight trips. And then for good measure, Assault has added the amphibious capability from Anura. This technology is a gamechanger for some people, like a recent purchaser who had just sold his previous boat. In his senior years, he told Mark Taiatini of Family Boats that he…

Soon after we became involved with Newtown Primary School, we befriended the French teacher, Mrs. Solange Payne, and the Principal, Jerry Coipel. Then one day the 10 boxes of books we had collected over the summer arrived. But looking around the school it was hard to figure out where the books would go. There was no library and there were no bookshelves in any of the classrooms (soon we built a dozen bookshelves). In fact, there weren’t many books around at all. The Ministries of Education in the West Indies are incredibly short of funds. They seem to have enough money to supply some textbooks at the beginning of the year, but that’s about it. Everywhere you look there are pieces of equipment donated by someone else: an air conditioner…

After 20 years of reliable use, the Jabsco domestic water pump was beginning to get a little noisy in operation and the accumulator tank would very slowly lose pressure over the season, requiring a top-up from the car foot pump each spring. Over the period of its working life, the pump only needed one new pressure switch, and apart from the minor additional noise, it was still functioning perfectly. I nevertheless decided to upgrade to one of the new generation of Jabsco flow-sensed pumps, which are claimed to be nearly silent in operation and don’t require an accumulator tank to provide a smooth flow of water. Upgrading a domestic water system with a new pump is quite straightforward and well within the capabilities of most boat owners. What is involved…

Wharington and crew will stay on in New Zealand for the 119nm PiC Coastal Classic… Grant Wharington is getting Wild Thing 100 revved up – the new mast to suit the 100-footer was stepped and new sails by Kiwi Rodney Keenan were added in May – so the timing is right to have a crack at the record in the Sydney to Auckland Ocean Race (S2A) sponsored by Harken and the perfect vehicle to return eminent sailor Keenan to his homeland. “We want to support the race,” Wharington said of the 1250 nautical mile Sydney to Auckland Ocean Race, starting on 11 October and described by world-renowned meteorologist, Roger ‘Clouds’ Badham OAM, as a “tough little piece of ocean”. “Rod (Keenan) is one of our watch captains. He’s very experienced…

At a special Private View event at London’s St Katharine Docks, Oyster Yachts unveiled plans for the Oyster 805, a striking new 80-foot model that blends superyacht sophistication with exceptional bluewater capability. The launch marks a defining moment for Oyster, reinforcing its position as a global leader in luxury ocean exploration and bespoke yacht ownership. The momentum is further underlined by the appointment of Torsten Müller-Ötvös, former CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, as Strategic Advisor. His leadership at Rolls-Royce transformed the historic brand into a modern luxury powerhouse. Torsten’s insight will be invaluable as the brand refines and globalizes the Oyster story. Ashley Highfield, CEO of Oyster Yachts, said, “The Oyster 805 will open a world of adventure to new and existing owners – and also mark a new chapter…

A restoration project on a Salthouse 65 by The Boat Works in Queensland revitalised its profile and interior spaces, revamping the look with a modern window system and transforming this sturdy ocean-going cruiser into a head-turning vessel once more. The 2006 New Zealand-built Salthouse flybridge cruiser named Phantom appealed to its current owner for its classic lines and “good bones,” along with the brand’s reputation for seaworthiness. To give it the tender loving care it required, and to bring it into the modern era, he entrusted Phantom to the experts at The Boat Works. In addition to the upholstery, carpet and teak, the aluminium window frames needed immediate attention. “The solution was to move to direct glazing, a modern window system that would not only make the boat look better but…

Kiwis love getting out on the water, but with busy lives and rising costs, full boat ownership isn’t always practical. That’s where syndication comes in. The Yacht Collective, powered by 36 Degrees Brokers, offers a smarter way to enjoy boating. Owners buy a share in a premium vessel and enjoy guaranteed time on board, while everything else – maintenance, cleaning, berthing and insurance – is handled for them. From quick Hauraki Gulf escapes to longer adventures up north, it’s easy, effortless boating. The Yacht Collective’s fleet currently includes well-spec’d Beneteau motor yachts, and the company is taking expressions of interest for future Lagoon, Excess sailing yacht, and Maritimo motoryacht syndicates. “We just show up and go,” says one happy owner, “no stress, no upkeep – just the good bits.” Syndication…

New Marine Protection Rules apply to recreational boat owners who use their boats in the sea. The key rules for recreational boats limit the emission of harmful sulphur oxides (SOx) from fuel use and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from engines. Both harm human health and the marine environment. The Part 199 Rules are based on the international convention MARPOL Annex VI, which seeks to reduce emissions from ships and boats around the world. ENGINES ENGINES INSTALLED AFTER 1 JANUARY 2023 After 1 January 2023, if you install a new or used engine over 130kW (174.3hp) on your boat, it must come with the following documentation: For a compression-ignition (diesel) engine – an approved Technical File showing the engine’s NOx emissions are within the limits of the IMO Tier II standard. For…

STABICRAFT MARINE’S new 2350 Ultracab utilises the proven Supercab offshore performance hull with unparalleled access to the bow and a huge range of cabin and deck accessory options. No other full-cabin trailer boat with a functional V-berth provides such easy access to the bow deck while maintaining a full-volume cabin and uncompromised ergonomics. The 2350 Ultracab WT also features improved interior appointments with a range of furniture options, including heavy-duty mechanical suspension for enhanced comfort in rougher conditions. Overnighting conveniences include the new folding table with port-side saloon seating over a cabinet-style fridge, while the starboard side can be converted into a galley with a sink and freshwater supply over a 12V oven. The sleeper seat box options have also been upgraded, with fridge and electric oven options. Additionally, a…

Beyond superyachts, Liquid Automation’s expertise extends into high-end residential and commercial automation. Whether it’s a luxury estate around the world, a premium office environment, or a…

Ocean swimming has always been close to my happy place. But just recently I felt that I’d neglected our relationship, and although I often swim off our yacht Sula during the summer months here in the Bay of Islands, I’d never undertaken a big swimming project before. I’m no stranger to swimming, though. I just love getting in the water and especially love open water swimming. There is nothing like a swim in the sea to start off the day, especially if you’re in the water early when the sun is creeping over the horizon, touching everything with its warmth and beauty. A quick search revealed over 100 islands within the bay. Seems a lot, I thought, so a whip round on Google Earth brought it down to a more…

Born in 1986, the only daughter of her Israeli father, Shuki Shukrun, and British mother, Daniella Aleh, Jo Aleh grew up in Auckland and had a lifelong dream of boats from an early age. “All my childhood scrapbooks are full of boats.” It was watching Team New Zealand win the 1995 America’s Cup that sparked Aleh’s boating dreams into reality. Inspired, she persuaded her father to buy her an elderly P Class. After learning to sail and race with the Ponsonby Cruising Club’s (PCC) programmes, she won the first race she ever entered at the Kohimarama Yacht Club (KYC). In 1998, her father took Aleh to Israel for her bat mitzvah, the coming-of-age ceremony for Jewish girls. (The male version is a bar mitzvah.) Part of this ceremony involves family…
