A visit to the Sydney Boat Show is a great way to see many different types of boats, be it small tenders, surfboards, sups, sailing boats, motorboats and some huge engines and boats.

The RaRa crew enjoyed Saturday at the show – the weather was a little drizzly but we managed to see and visit the boats we wanted to look at on the marina before heading inside (and therefore missed the rain on us).

We met up with Lisa Blair and visited her yacht, Climate Change Now, and had a look inside – which was an experience, especially after the talk she had at MHYC.

We loved the new Grand Soleil 46LC as well as the new Dufour.

Another set of beautiful sailing boats are the Tofinou boats.

This year we spent longer in the large indoor halls – after walking around the large (huge) motors and all the fishing boats and gear we managed to find the, for us, more useful stands.

I got to speak to the importer of the new stove we have and get some tips how to use it to its best advantage.

The underwater drone was pretty cool, as was the Nomad dive gear and the water maker Zen from Schenker.

We also admired a small dinghy/sailboat from Mountain Boats – created and made by a guy from Canberra, worth checking out for an alternative to an inflatable.

The dream board is now full of exciting ideas for the future.
