A dramatic collision on Saturday has reshaped the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix. With the Black Foils out after a high-speed loss of control and France caught up in the aftermath, SailGP has moved swiftly to a split-fleet racing format for Sunday on the Waitematā Harbour.

Like many in New Zealand’s marine industry, Smuggler Marine is a family-owned business which has evolved and grown alongside the Auckland Boat Show.

Smuggler Marine, as it was rebranded in 2004, started life in 1986 as David Pringle Boatbuilders, mainly building yachts including some of the iconic Ross 930s and Elliot 1050s that are still sailing today.

In 2004 the business moved into powerboats and created its very first Smuggler.

“That’s when we started focusing on the boat show market,” says Pauline Pringle. “Boat shows were the way we made sure everyone knew what a Smuggler was.”

“The Auckland Boat Show is in a great location, high end, people are there to buy boats, and it’s full of opportunity for our business. We love the customers, the variety of people and exhibitors and the end of summer vibe.”

Meet the Smuggler team at the Auckland Boat Show 2026, 5-8 March.
