Channel Magazine gets its Sealegs
Channel readers will get used to seeing a Channel Mag/Benefitz branded Sealegs Amphibious Boat around Takapuna. The introduction of the boat is in part a community initiative by Benefitz, the publishers of Channel Magazine.
“We are certainly going to have some fun in the boat ourselves and it will be used for promotional purposes, but our plan is that it is also available for use by designated not-for-profit organisations who operate in and around Takapuna Beach,” explains Aidan Bennett of Benefitz. “This will include the Takapuna Beach Club and Takapuna Boating
Club and related sporting groups.”
The seven metre Sealegs is one of the three limited edition black All Blacks branded boats that were produced for the Rugby World Cup promotion. Sealegs have also supported this Channel Mag/Benefitz initiative. They will be using the boat for customer demos from time
to time.
“The plan is that the boat is also used for safety purposes at the beach,” adds Aidan Bennett. “It will be available to use as a rescue boat for events, and also as a rescue vessel that is close at hand, and easy to launch, should anything occur. This initiative is being supported by local club’s, Dave Donaldson and Takapuna Beach Business Association, Takapuna Beach Cafe and Takapuna Beach Holiday Park.”
The Channel Mag/Benefitz Sealegs was used as an additional rescue boat for the 470 Junior World Yachting Championships which were held at Takapuna Beach in late January.
