There is a big mix of exciting things happening throughout the summer edition of Waterline - due to hit the shelves next week.

Whether it be fishing, sailing, jet-boating or cruising – we have it covered with some great reads right through.

The Mount is sprinting to a world first; and safety for youngsters at sea is heading our way.

For all the fisho’s we touch down on multiple topics; free charts, side scans, the good and the bad of fish heads and big spawning snapper – not to mention a boat review on the new Buccaneer Billfisher 650.

The Billfisher isn’t the only impressive craft mentioned; we touch down on how dairying turned into one of New Zealand’s most impressive boat companies and also the wind propelled Round White Island race.

The sails are full, with great reports and achievements from the Club News section telling readers how our various Bay water-themed clubs get out on the water and utilise Mother Nature.

Waka ama and kayaking is also covered, with some great clubs and events being held by enthusiasts.
