Emarine Australia

Lots to report after a really successful and exciting Sanctuary Cove Boat Show. A real highlight for us was having Bentley and Brenda Collins over from Maine. They are both real boat show veterans and attend shows all over the world and both commented on how much they enjoyed this one.

Now we are busy following up leads and prospects and a common theme we keep hearing over and over again is how Back Cove Yachts stand out so prominently from the other vessels at the show. The clean lines and elegant profile that is truly timeless. The safe, wide walk around decks. The simple, functional layouts that lend themselves to ease of use and care. Remarkable performance and, in particular, economy and reliability. All hallmarks of the brand.

The weekend following the show, we were able to play host to Bentley and Brenda here in Sydney. It was such a pleasure to be able to show them our office and get them out for a boat ride in Sydney Harbour.  Dry and comfortable in a Back Cove 33 on a wet and rainy day, we enjoyed the opportunity to explore a little bit and further reinforce why these boats are so special and well suited to Australian conditions.

The new 30 Back Cove is really and truly a reality as hull number one moves her way down the line with factory sea trials in Maine scheduled to take place in late May. Hull number two is in the mold now and then headed our way upon completion and we anticipate her arrival in Australia in August, narrowly missing the 2010 Sydney International Boat Show. Nonetheless, we will have a special launching ceremony at the Roseville Bridge Marina upon her arrival, so watch this page for further details as the date gets closer..

More exciting news as E Marine Australia is thrilled to report on the recent sale of our first Sabre Motor Yacht. This magnificent vessel is currently under construction in Maine, USA for her very fortunate owner. She will be finished with a Flag Blue coloured hull and equipped with Volvo Penta IPS drives offering unmatched manoeuvrability and economical performance and operation.

Here, we have a picture of her deck structure just out of the mold. She will be arriving here in Australia in October 2010 and we are every bit as excited as her owner!

2010 marks the 40^th Anniversary for Sabre Yachts. To celebrate this milestone, Sabre is holding an Anniversary Celebration for all Sabre and Back Cove owners in Boothbay Harbor, Maine on the 9^th, 10^th and 11^th of July. Given that Boothbay Harbor also happens to be my birthplace, we are headed over to help them celebrate.

Obviously, we would be thrilled if any owners or prospective owners wanted to make the trip…so if you have any interest, please let us know! We would be pleased to offer our local knowledge of the area and it would be a wonderful way to learn more about the heritage behind the brand and why we feel so passionate about what makes these boats so special.

Until next time…Thanks!
