AUDIT 12751 TOTAL NET
JULY 2011-JAN 2012CIRCULATIONWe review the just-launched
Absolute 58 – a superbly-
crafted vessel from Italy.
Equipped with twin IPS-800s
(1200hp in total), this
beauty’s highly-regarded for
her frugal fuel consumption
and maneuverability. She
hosts seven guests with a
maximum capacity of 14.NOVEMBER RAINREFITA multiple world-champion
of powerboat racing,
Fabio Buzzi has just set
a new world record for a
diesel-powered vessel –
277.5 km/h. The milestone,
certified by Guinness World
Records, was achieved in
March on Italy’s Lake Como.
What’s particularly
impressive is that Fabio is
75 years old. We profile the
man and his remarkable
achievements.The remarkable resurrection
of one of New Zealand’s
most revered hydroplanes.
She featured in the recent
NZ Antique and Classic
Boatshow down at Lake
Rotoiti, where she was
driven by one of her original
champions, Jon Jarvie.A mammoth makeover of a
56-foot Malcolm Tennant
power cat built in 2002.
This dedicated sport fishing
boat spends six months of
the year in the Pacific islands.
Tackled by Pine Harbour’s
Harkin Boatbuilding, the
improvements include major
interior remodeling, a 2.5m
flybridge extension, a circular
staircase and new engines.
