A 10-year dream of building a specially equipped boat to take wheelchair users fishing is close to reality with a fundraising dinner coming up in Matamata to help pay for the first trips.
The fully wheelchair accessible, custom-designed 18m by 6.5m alloy catamaran is nearing completion in Mt Maunganui and is expected to be launched within two months.
The Matamata Lions charity dinner and auction will take place at Matamata-Piako Civic and Memorial Centre on Wednesday, March 10, and a cruise for two on the boat is one of the spot prizes on offer.
