After much anticipation we can announce the stunning new model Sea Ray 470 Sundancer will be here in time for a spectacular Preview and Media Launch at The Brisbane Boat Show in August.
From its sexy exterior lines, to the large open cockpit, to the sensuous VIP Stateroom, this next generation model is about to set a new standard in the industry.

 Compared to the 455 Sundancer the list of extra standard features on the 470 Sundancer is quite extensive:

• opening Skylights
• integrated Hardtop and Windshield
• Electric side windows
• Dual vent windows
• larger Generator
• increased fuel capacity
• Cockpit Sun pad
• Dual Helm seat with thigh rise
• enlarged Wet Bar and Galley sinks
• increased Transom storage
• entry door screen
• yacht wood interior
• larger Salon sofa
• private guest Stateroom with twin beds
• increased storage in the V-berth, to name just a few.

 Perhaps the most exciting feature of this new Sundancer is the standard, twin 425-hp CMD engines with Zeus drives! Not only will this boat deliver outstanding top-end performance of 36 knots, the joystick control removes all the stress of operating a boat.

The feel of luxury and elegance, plus an abundance of natural lighting radiates from the interior, with optional wood salon flooring, large hull windows, skylights, opening port lights, stainless-steel appliances, Ultraleather seating and high-gloss cherry interior cabinetry. Wooden Shoji doors to both staterooms ensure privacy, as does the split configuration of both the mid-berth and forward stateroom heads.

  The large, open cockpit with a new, innovative sun pad design, increased cockpit seating, optional electric grill and drawer-style refrigerator, optional defrosters, and portside companion seat lounger all make the new 470 Sundancer party central.  The 470 Sundancer also carries the latest technology in entertainment, offering unlimited opportunities for fun, with a Salon 26-inch, retractable Flatscreen, LCD TV with DVD player, optional Cockpit and Mid-Stateroom TV’s, Sony stereo system, an MP3 port and iPod docking station and optional inverter, to keep the fun going when the lights go out.

  In keeping with the Sea Ray tradition, the 475 Sundancer is a beautiful boat with everything any boater needs for cruising, overnighting, or extended trips, yet has all the latest and greatest technology to ensure safe and confident operation.

 Motor Boating magazine has said, “I like the 470 Sundancer. It shows the extra attention to detail Sea Ray owners have come to expect from this brand. They won’t be disappointed with the builder’s newest launch. I think the boat is impressive for another reason, too. We’re living in an uncertain economy these days, yet this company has chosen this year to introduce an all-new boat that incorporates revolutionary technology, convenience-enhancing features and top-shelf workmanship. In my mind, those things seem to reflect the builder’s optimism and confidence in the fact that true quality will find its market.”

Several Sea Ray families found a great new anchorage for a weekend together. They rafted up on a beach inside the Seaway opposite Sea World.
Sheltered and quite deep close to the beach it was perfect especially for the kids.
As you can see as usual everyone had a great time.

At long last I have a selection of photos together from the Tangalooma Easter Weekend.
Despite the dire weather forecast the weekend turned out beautiful. We could see the rain falling over Brisbane but had clear skies most of the long weekend.
Everyone had a great time, especially the children; playing on the sand hills, snorkeling, swimming, jumping, and riding jet skies.
The adults had a great time as well, as you can see.
The final verdict was that Tangalooma is an excellent venue for a weekend away, just check the wind and weather, before you go.

QMC was the major sponsor for the Surfers Paradise Game & Sport Fishing Club’s 2009 QMC All Tackle All Species Tournament held over the weekend of the 7th  and 8th  of March.
With Andrew the only one on board with any experience the QMC team did not do so well. Nonetheless, fishing out of the Boston Whaler 305 Conquest they all had a lot of fun.
After a massive struggle and a lot of assistance Neil landed a small Tuna which Andrew immediately threw back. Jamie Nani hooked a decent Wahoo that got away, but managed to land a Tuna which also went back, then Bryce landed a Dolphin Fish and another Tuna before they all retired to quieter waters to recover.
The rest of the Tournament was a great success as you can read in the Club Newsletter below.
Presentations were held at the tournament base, Southport Yacht Club, on Sunday evening.

QMC All Tackle All Species Tournament

Our annual Tournament was successfully staged on the weekend of the 7th and 8th March. The new venue of the Southport Yacht Club proved to be very popular with anglers, offering a great location, quality food, good marina in a raft-up style and friendly staff.
The 28 boats and 95 anglers were greeted by unusually good weather. With the Gold Coast experiencing a hot Black Marlin bite over the previous couple of weeks, expectations were high. However, the Blacks disappeared over the weekend, although the Blues had a bit of a chew, with several lost. Over the two fishing days, the fleet tagged 9 Blue Marlin (above left), 2 Black Marlin, 1 Shortbill Spearfish, 17 Mahi Mahi, 3 Wahoo, 8 Yellowfin Tuna (right), 31 Mackerel Tuna, 61 Striped Tuna and 1 Spotted Mackerel.
A big thank you is extended to all our sponsors, including the major sponsors for the Tournament: Queensland Marine Centre, Reelax and Deep Vee, and to the Southport Yacht Club. With the support of all sponsors, anglers and the Yacht Club, the Tournament raised a total of $2,500 for our favourite charity, Camp Quality, as well as ensuring our financial stability for the next year.
