B&G, one of the world’s leading sailing navigation and instrument specialist, has partnered with the New Zealand Sailing Trust, installing a range of B&G electronics on both Lion NZ and Steinlager 2 sailing vessels.

To celebrate the partnership, B&G created a film in collaboration with independent creative agency LIKEMINDS to highlight the fantastic work the New Zealand Sailing Trust does by telling the powerful story of one group’s experience over a few days on the Hauraki Gulf.

“B&G recognises the importance of sailing within New Zealand, and also the hard work and tireless efforts of those who support the trust.

“We are proud to be involved with such an iconic part of New Zealand’s sailing history,” said Michael Blackwell, Navico’s APAC Marketing Director.

The New Zealand Sailing Trust empowers young New Zealanders through on-water experiences, bringing to life the values of leadership, teamwork, courage and environmental awareness.

The legacy of these iconic vessels, which has helped shape many successful kiwi sailing careers, is being preserved by the trust along with providing inspiration to young New Zealand sailors.
