It’s a chance for Beneteau owners to enjoy a fun day on the water, sample some of New Zealand’s finest wine, and mix with fellow owners, 36 Degrees brokers, Family Boats, and PIC insurance teams. 

Prizegiving and wine tasting commences from 3.30pm at Man O War Vineyard, with the chance to bluff your way to a prize from your poker hands.
