KEY POINTS:
The ultimate show for lovers of all things boat-related happens over the next three days in Auckland. The New Zealand Boat Show is two weeks earlier than usual, and features the biggest prize available to attendees ever - a package with a retail value of $100,000. One person will take that away, while everyone else can enjoy all the usual entertainment.
The Discover Boating stage will be handy for those new to the scene, with workshops on everything from where not to fish, to the latest fashion on the water.
