Welcome to the first edition of Australia’s premiere digital boating magazine – Boat Test…

With an average of between 40 – 50 paper based magazines on the stands of major newsagencies, their over abundance and expensive pricing limits access to their content; we thought it was time to introduce something fresh to the marketplace – a magazine available free of charge, driven by reader feedback, easily accessible and sporting content you would otherwise be paying for.

What I can promise is that with the appointment of internationally published author and ex-Naval Police Coxswain Darren Wheeler, as editor, the content and quality of our magazine will grow exponentially over coming issues.

Our written reviews are to be lifestyle oriented, and when combined with the performance of boats which can be ‘seen’ via our associated downloadable video reviews, should paint a pretty informative picture.

For some, our digital magazine offering will never replace their desire to hold a dead tree in their hands, while others will see it as a viable alternative and a way to keep money in their pockets.

In reality though, although our magazine can be read entirely online, offering some unique interactive features, you can also print pages of interest or the magazine in its entirety – the magazine is therefore optimised for standard A4 printing.

Each boat featured is also supported by wallpaper size photos, just follow the links to these from the pages.

We hope you enjoy this evolving publication, and follow its progress.

No tree’s were killed in the production of this magazine!

Enjoy...
