With the further easing of the Covid-19 restrictions, boating is starting to get back to some normality, or perhaps, what could better be described as the 'new normal'.

Nevertheless, there's plenty going on in the boating (and fishing) world and in this edition we bring you some of the highlights. From the Gold Coast, news that both, Gold Coast City Marina and The Boatworks, two of Australia's largest boat yards, are both in serious expansion mode.

And iconic boatbuilders, Maritimo, Riviera and Princess are in the news again with announcements of new and exciting models. News too from Yanmar, who has announced the development of a hydrogen fuel cell system for maritime applications.

But as always, that's just a very small sample of the marine news in this edition, so, sit back, browse through and enjoy the read

Cheers, see you out on the water
