► Our Australian correspondent Kevin Green got the opportunity for a test sail aboard the XF75, a luxurious powercat that is as high-performance as it is exclusive, with a superstructure that doubles as a helipad. This powercat, offered by New Zealand manufacturer Voodoo Yachts and unveiled at the recent Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, features a carefully optimized hull and foils that allow it to reach speeds of up to 50 knots. In addition to this impressive speed for a 75-foot vessel, the Voodoo boasts fuel consumption well below that of an 85- to 90-foot monohull superyacht offering the same features: the usable area measures some 3,000 square feet (279 m²)... By limiting its speed to 8 knots, the XF75 is capable of ocean passage-making. Check out the full test report in our next Power Special Edition #25. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Voodoo Yachts Length: 79’ (22.8 m) Beam: 25’ (7.6 m) Draft: 2’9” (0.9m) Displacement: 50 t Powertrain: 2 x 1,600 hp Propulsion: Waterjet Fuel: 3,963 US gal (15,000 l) Maximum speed: 50 knots Cruising speed: 28/40 knots Range: 1,200 miles at 35 knots and 3,000 miles at 8 knots Berths: 8 to 12 people ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► Full test in our next Forever Green Special Edition N°24: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/leopard-46-electric-drive-24-hours-on-board-for-a-forever-green-test ► Shipyards offering hybrid propulsion systems are promising significantly reduced fuel consumption, silent sailing and intelligent complementarity between sailing and motor sailing... all rather convincing arguments that we wanted to test on the water for 24 hours aboard a Leopard 46 Electric Drive. Setting out from Saint-Raphaël on France’s Mediterranean coast, we embarked on an unpretentious mini-cruise, where we not only tested a hybrid catamaran equipped with the Joool system (identical to that used by Fountaine Pajot) but also noted the charging and energy consumption. Even the tender – a Highfield 340 E-Propulsion – was electric. So, did we fire up the generator or not? Find out in our next Forever Green Special Edition N°24. ► Technical specifications: Builder: Robertson & Caine (South Africa) Architect: Alexander Simonis Length overall: 47’6” (14.48 m) Beam: 24’1” (7.35 m) Draft: 5’5” (1.65 m) Sail area: 1,554 sq ft (144.4 m²) Displacement: 37,940 lbs (17,209 kg) Motors: 2 x 25 kW Batteries: 2 x 27 kWh Fresh water: 185 US gal (700 l) CE Certification: Category A ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► Un article à découvrir dans Multicoques Mag N°233 Spécial Évasion ! ► La location de voiliers s’est imposée dès les années 1980 ; aujourd’hui, dans les régions tropicales, les catamarans dominent très nettement le marché. La clientèle apprécie en effet le confort et l’intimité dispensés par les multicoques. La formule de la location apporte bien des avantages – choix de la destination, possibilité d’être encadré par un skipper – mais reste parfois la problématique de constituer un équipage complet pour répartir les frais… c’est là que la location à la cabine peut constituer une option séduisante. Marie Dufay, journaliste-auteur spécialiste du nautisme et des grands voyages a testé cette offre proposée par Dream Yachts Worldwide au départ de Tahiti, cap sur les mythiques Iles de la Société : Moorea, Huahine, Taha’a, Bora-Bora et Raiatea. Cette croisière de 11 jours et 10 nuits s’est déroulée à bord d’un Lagoon 620 doté de 6 cabines ; le loueur propose également deux autres modèles – Bali 5.4 et Ipanema 58.
