Sydney Boatshow
Bluewater Cruising Yachts would like to thank Peter & Virginia Lewis for generously allowing us to exhibit “Charlie’s Dream” at the Sydney Boatshow 2009. Not only did we have a chance to show “Charlie’s Dream” to a most enthusiastic and appreciative Boatshow audience we were also honoured to have Peter and his brother Mike Lewis present for the entire show. Anyone who met Peter and Mike would have surely been impressed by their passion, knowledge and enthusiasm.

New Bluewater 420 Raised Saloon Fixed Dodger Design
Designer Jerry Arnott, Bluewater and Peter Lowe Design have collaborated to design a fixed dodger / bimini for an upcoming Bluewater 420 Raised Saloon. The design will feature toughened glass windscreen and bimini sections for ultimate clarity with opening hatches and porthole for ventilation, vision and waterproofness.

This design will add a new dimension to comfort and effectively provide a fully enclosed indoor / outdoor room for living when at anchor as well all round cockpit protection when out to sea. This will be a standard inclusion on all future 420 Raised Saloon builds.
