Large crowds visited the Northland Boat Show at Marsden Cove Marina last weekend entertained by live music, helicopter rides and sea trialing boats.

Many exhibitors reported good sales and keen interest in the boats and gear at the third free entry boat show to be held at Marsden Cove. Following on from the recent Seafood Festival at Marsden Cove this is another of many further events planned, leading into the new year and beyond with more details of these to follow.

One major development at the cove is the expansion into section two of the canal structure planned before Christmas. A large lock is being constructed which will be the tidal buffer for the rest of the canal properties and beaches as the marine township continues to take shape. Once finished this lock will be the largest lock in the Southern Hemisphere having been constructed by Hopper Developments with the door systems having been made overseas.

A great offer was promoted at the show to get a Sea Nymph 580 runabout worth $60,000 for free when purchasing a canal front section before Christmas. This offer is limited to the first three canal front sections sold before Christmas.

More events news to follow.
