Musto fashion parades popular at Sydney Boat Show |
One of the most popular items on the Boating Stage at the Sydney International Boat Show (2-7 August) is the Musto fashion parades which are being held three times daily. Models strut their stuff in the latest Musto wet weather gear paired with sea boots and Wahine bikinis. Parades are scheduled at 12.30, 2.30 and 6.30.
In addition to boat show parades, Musto will also be showing their fashion collection at fashion Exposed in Melbourne during September, and at a VIP fashion parade at Sandringham Yacht Club – where they sponsor the club and are also their official clothing supplier.
Musto is located on stands 107 & 108 (Hall 1) opposite the Boating Stage.
The Boating Stage has a huge range of presentations that start from 10am every day and finish at about 8pm. Anyone who’s remotely interested in boating will find a presenter and a topic to inspire them. There’s the practical: Matt Cummings from Sea Tow gives a talk titled ‘How not to break down on the water.’
It’s something that no sensible boater should miss.
Michael Logan from the NSW Beaureau of Meterology has being giving a presentation called ‘Severe Weather along the NSW Coast.’ As the head of the Bureau’s Severe Weather section, Michael was the ideal person to present this segment. His talk has been illustrated by a range of images of some truly terrifying weather systems. He is extremely knowledgeable and has been happy to take questions.
From today, Saturday 4th August, and for the rest of the show, larger than life sailing meteorologist Ken Batt will be presenting a similar talk with the same title. As another expert in the field, this talk is sure to attract a large audience.
To get the adrenaline pumping, sit in on ‘Offshore Power Boat Racing’ presented by Australian Powerboating Champions Luke Durman and Ross Willaton. They show a heart stopping medley of video footage of high speed crashes at international events. There is footage of boats flipping over at speeds of up to 270 km per hour, and drivers escaping by swimming out of their upturned boat.
They give a fascinating insight into the training that a driver requires to race at this level.
‘You must have done what’s called an immersion course which is what a lot of helicopter pilots do. Where you are put in a capsule and blindfolded and turned upside down and sent to the bottom of a pool. You must be able to unstrap yourself out of that.’
If you fancy cruising in a powerboat then don’t miss Stephen Milne’s presentation ‘The World of Motorboat Cruising.’ It’s full of useful information on passage making and includes case studies about ordinary Australians who have completed long distance trips on their powerboats.
Tony Mowbray is a naturally gifted public speaker and he takes to the stage with a blow up penguin and a partially deflated plastic globe of the world as props. He describes his adventures in an honest and entertaining manner, asks the audience questions and describes people and places in a way that makes them easy to visualise.
If you have ever dreamed of visiting Antarctica or the Southern Ocean in a yacht, this is the event for you. There’s some beautiful video footage of Antarctica complete with the tinkling sound of shards of ice fragmenting around his boat.
Wendy Lambert, a passenger who went on his last expedition to Antarctica described it as a life changing experience. She was inspired by the awesome beauty of nature and the close friendships that she formed on board.
Perhaps Mike Harker’s ‘World Cruising and other adventures’ will appeal. Harker began cruising relatively late in life, taught himself to sail and has since cruised some of the most beautiful parts of the world in a Hunter 49. As a professional photographer his slide show contains some dramatic images and his talks have been well attended.
Royce Black from Seawind Catamarans flies the flag for the multihull contingent. His topic is ‘Heavy Weather Sailing on a catamaran.’ Some years ago Royce was caught in a category five cyclone in a Seawind catamaran and he talks about his experience with wisdom and humility. Multihull owners shouldn’t miss this one.
If you’ve been thinking about taking a boating holiday, but haven’t had time to plan one, come along to Trevor Joyce’s ‘Cruising Rallies- for sailors and power boaters.’ Trevor and Maggie Joyce run Mariner Boating and have specialised in boating holidays for over 25 years. They organise popular holidays where clients race luxury yachts or catamarans, but also have a huge amount of time to socialise, explore, party or just relax.
Steven Bond from Ozi-Opti is a passionate advocate of youth sailing. His talk title summarises his entire business philosophy: ‘Kids + Boats= Fun’. If you’ve been thinking of getting junior into boating, now is the time, and Steven is the person to help you organise it.
There’s such a great range of things to experience on the Boating Stage that you could quite easily spend an entire day there. There really is something for everyone.
