Sail-World.com : Marine Business News
This week is a mixed bag with news from dealers, manufacturers, superyacht builders, engine brands, the official performance apparel of the Australian Sailing Team and on a tragic note, the untimely passing of Colleen Watson, Super Yacht Group - Great Barrier Reef acting manager. There’s a warning for business owners who also own a boat. The ATO is on the look out for inconsistencies and non-compliance and the possession of an expensive boat. David Pring from Deloitte recommends conducting a self-audit or bringing in an independent expert to “assess the risks and give their assessment of what could come up if the tax office came looking”. The mystery of the recent sale of Sensation Yachts premises at Carrington, Newcastle to Azzura Marine is solved with our exclusive interview with owner, Ivan Erceg. Sensation is moving operations to Singapore, building a massive $500m facility to accommodate the latest in robotic technology and keeping the company at the forefront of superyacht construction. There’s info about IBEX 2008 and its range of seminars, and closer to home, the announcement that Barramundi Marine is the country’s leading Stacer dealership. As the Olympic countdown begins, we speak with Gill Australia CEO, Paul Schultz about the company’s support for our national sailing team and this UK brand’s Aussie focus. Keep your comments and queries rolling in. See you at SIBS!
