Navico expands B&G dealer network

Navico Australia expands B&G's national dealer network to deliver increased support for yachting enthusiasts

Navico Australia says it has expanded B&G's national dealer network to provide increased support for yachting enthusiasts around the country.


The company said it carefully selected 14 dealers to represent the premium yacht racing electronics brand by considering factors important to B&G customers, such as the dealers' skills base, expert knowledge of yacht racing and physical proximity to the sailing community for quick support response time.


Navico Australia's director of sales and marketing, Damien Weber said the expanded dealer base had not only resulted in more extensive coverage for B&G technical support, it would allow stronger brand presence in key sailing markets.


"While B&G is definitely a premium brand, there's plenty of scope for B&G to go beyond grand prix racers into the bluewater cruiser market, for instance," said Weber.


B&G's NSW dealers are Olectric (Gladesville), Yacht Electrical Solutions (Rushcutters Bay), and BME and Andy McPhail, both in Newport. Navico said Olectric has installed B&G instruments on some of Australia's most famous grand prix racing yachts, while Yacht Electrical Solutions is located next to the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, the organising club of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart race.


BME and Andy McPhail are around the corner from the Prince Alfred Yacht Club, the current home of the prestigious Admiral's Cup.


The brand's Queensland dealers are EMS (Coomera), Ultimate Marine (Brisbane), Marine Specialties Group (Sunshine Coast), and Navcom (Townsville). In Victoria, Offshore Marine (Sandringham) and E-Sea (Melbourne) are selling and supporting B&G products.


B&G's dealer in SA is Milltech Marine (Adelaide), while in WA it's Maritime Electronics Services (Fremantle).


Navico said two more businesses are currently completing its dealer application process, and the first race that B&G's new distribution channel will support will be the Audi Hamilton Island Race Week in August.
