Floating into the Future – Massey Marine Design at the Boat and Fishing Show

Exciting and innovative marine craft from the Massey University College of Creative Arts will offer a glimpse into the future for visitors to the Boat and Fishing Show at Mystery Creek 11 – 13 August.

Four personal water craft from the fourth annual Yamaha Design Challenge will be a part of the show, in a display of ingenuity and imagination that will dazzle crowds. While the aim of each craft is the same, to carry a single passenger through a series of straight line and circuit races at speed, the four boats look completely different from each other an anything else on the market.

Overall winner Spypedo, a wave-piercing displacement catamaran takes a minimalist approach at just 69kg including the 8hp Yamaha outboard. Xplora and CSX also offer a multihull design and Chopper, will be popular with visitors with a design based on a waterbourne chopper-style motorcycle and an unmissable orange paintjob.

The Boat and Fishing Show will splash down at Mystery Creek Events Centre, South of Hamilton from 11 – 13 August 2006. See the best marine and outdoors products from 9.30am to 8.00pm on Friday and 9.30am to 5.00pm on Saturday and Sunday.
