Gineico have announced two new products at the Sydney Boat Show on Stand B239. One is the launch of Blue-Airco, the world's first patented full DC air conditioning unit.

Secondly, the Australian debut of SMARTDOCK, the world's first smartphone-based yacht controller for inboard and outboard vessels. Whether you're planning a new build, upgrading your current vessel or simply want to see the latest marine innovation to make boating better, chat with the Gineico Marine team.

Yellowfin Plate Boats are at the Show with two of their flagship offshore models on display, giving serious anglers the opportunity to experience the strength, innovation and performance that define the range. On display at Hunts Marine and TR Marine, the YF70 and YF76 showcase the renowned HD-R Hull and Inter-Lok Core construction, engineered to deliver an exceptionally soft, dry ride while providing the rigidity, strength and confidence required for offshore conditions.

Whittley Marine Group is proud to announce the addition of two of Australia's most respected trailer manufacturers, Dunbier Trailers and Mackay Trailers, to its expanding portfolio of premium boating products and services. This exciting partnership further strengthens Whittley's commitment to delivering complete boating solutions, providing customers with access to industry-leading Australian-made trailers designed for Whittley boats and virtually all makes and models.

New from A+T, the HFD5 full colour display is now in full production, as a replacement and upgrade to the discontinued B&G H5000 display. The HFD5 is fully submersible, and oven tested to 75°C. The display is transflective (so the stronger the sunlight, the better the definition), and supports portrait or landscape orientations as well as advanced formatting. Upgrading couldn't be easier; it fits the old cutout, and plugs directly into existing cables using micro-C connectors.

Accurate wind data is essential for setting and maintaining a fair racecourse as conditions change throughout the day. This is where the MarkSetBot Wind Instrument helps race committees make faster, more informed decisions. With real-time wind speed and direction displayed directly from the course in the Commander App, you always have the information you need. Beyond live wind readings, the system provides tools to help you understand changing conditions, including wind averages, wind rose graphs, and wind shift tracking.

The first official images of the all-new Fountaine Pajot FP48 have arrived. Showcasing a bold new era of bluewater cruising, the FP48 combines refined styling, generous living spaces and innovative design to create an exceptional onboard experience. Bring your dream yacht to life with the interactive 3D Configurator, where you can customise everything from the interior finishes and layout to colours and key design features.

Marine Jobs recently welcomed a group of enthusiastic Year 10 students from the King's Trade Training Centre to The Boat Works Gold Coast for an immersive industry tour designed to showcase the career opportunities available within our marine sector. The visit provided valuable insights into the diverse range of trades and professions that support the industry. Students gained a first-hand understanding of what a future in marine could look like.

For the first time, four of South Africa's foremost boatbuilders will share the stage at the African Boating Conference to discuss the realities of manufacturing world-class vessels, competing in global markets and shaping the future of one of the country's most respected marine industries. South Africa's boatbuilding industry has quietly earned a global reputation for designing and manufacturing world-class vessels, from commercial rescue craft and luxury catamarans to high-performance sailing yachts.
