NEW ISSUE OF TRAILERBOAT - OUT NOW

One of the most respected names in Australian boating, the Haines Group, has a boating history that is as rich as it is varied. In this month’s issue we place the family-run manufacturer under the microscope, delving into the Haines family archives to reveal the story of its inception and how they famously lost control of the company in the ’80s. We also look at the Haines family’s triumphant return under the Signature banner and how the Haines Group established its place among the giants of the industry today. We also look at the best Signature boats over the years, not to mention what is on today — and maybe tomorrow.

Of course, we’ve also got a raft of boat tests, including an Aussie-first look at Chaparral’s brand new 257 SSX bowrider; the new Bonito 500 Centre Console; the Larson 185; the Seacruiser SC 700; and the Mac 5 Cuddy by Offshore Marine Master. But wait there’s more. We pay a visit to the very boat-friendly Victorian town of Nelson, and just in case that wasn’t enough to go on, we introduce our latest giveaway boat, the Project SuperNova tinnie package — which you could win just by buying a copy. All this and much more can be found in the latest issue of TrailerBoat magazine, in stores now!
