By Annette Bormolini (Fashion modelling by Crimpy) This 100% waterproof jacket displays the quality we’ve come to expect from Nalder Protective Clothing. At first feel we noticed just how lightweight it is, allowing you to wear extra warm layers without creating bulk and still having flexibility. All seams are double welded, with flaps over zip pockets, keeping you water tight. There are a few extra options like: elastic or neoprene cuffs, a wide range of sizes to suit everyone, different colours to choose from and, for extra safety, reflective tape options for early morning walker or bikers.
Nalder Bib Trousers
Because of my hair brain idea of keeping pigs, I sure could of have done with a pair of these. Many a cold morning I had on my jeans and gumboots and five little pigs liked to jump on and bite at me. I forever had muddy jeans; I then had to change clothes and go to work. Once again they are very lightweight but very strong and durable. I can also see some uses for these in the garden and Crimpy is nagging me to have a yellow and blue pair for the boat. Nalder also gives you the option of a double or single thickness front, which helps with wear and tear.
Nalder Waterproof Vest
Sometimes when you are all layered up with your winter wears, you find that you can’t even bend your arms. Nalder’s 100% waterproof vest is a smart solution. This vest keeps your chest and core warm but lets you have your arms free to lift and work with.

Six Tauranga yachties may be in trouble with the law, after it is claimed they failed to get out of the path of a cargo ship entering the Port of Tauranga at the weekend. The skippers face disqualification from placings in the race they were taking part in at the time of the incident on Sunday morning and the marine equivalent of a ticket, a $200 fine.

SUP users are also required to comply with a range of other legislation applying to recreational vessels, including Maritime Rule Part 22: Collision Prevention.
One Dead in Capsize By Viv Logie
Three fishermen clung to the upturned hull of their fishing boat after it capsized on the Greymouth bar this morning, but only two survived as the skipper was washed off and drowned, despite a frantic rescue attempt.
Push for Safety Measures in Wake of Drownings By David Crerar
The coroner presiding over the inquest into the loss of four men in Fiordland indicated he would recommend a legislative change to make float-free satellite-linked beacons compulsory on fishing boats and fishermen required to wear flotation devices.
when she struck a bridge pile, has been hit with fines, costs and reparation totaling more than $4000. Daniel Willis was convicted in the Tauranga District Court of dangerously operating his boat on Lake Karapiro and then failing to report the incident to Maritime New Zealand. Family’s Near-fatal Birthday Adventure By Matthew Theunissen
Choking on seawater, Janet Cocker and her seven-year-old son used his bright yellow rain jacket to wave down passing fishermen, after their boat sank in the Hauraki Gulf on a family fishing trip yesterday. All seven people on board the 5.8m craft survived bobbing in the furious swells, for up to two hours after the boat began taking on water near Ponui Island. What a fantastic story the above headline was. A seven-year-old encouraged mum not to panic and advised that all will be okay. Mum and the seven-year-old were the only ones wearing lifejackets and were seen by a passing boat and they were able to direct rescuers to the other five. All were lucky to be saved, as all had to rely on flotsam for floatation and warmth. A lifejacket does both these things. When the good bloke the Deputy Harbour Master comes your way. Meet him with a smile, because he is there because he cares. Wishing you safe boating these holidays.
