? 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: 4'7" (1.4 m) Displacement: 47 t Powertrain: 2 x 1,250 or 1,800 hp Propulsion: Waterjet Fuel: 1,450 to 3,700 US gal (5,500 to 14,000 l) Maximum speed: 50 knots Cruising speed: 28/40 knots Range: 1,200 miles at 30 knots and 3,000 miles at 8 knots Berths: 8 to 12 people ?

https://uk.himiwaybike.com/sailingmelody We're steadily prepping and upgrading our old, once abandoned, Bluewater classic, into a state of the art, modern mean machine. And this week that means we crack on with the installation of the Accelerant Lithium batteries, the Victron Multiplus 2 and the amazing Himiway Fat Tyre Cruiser E-Bike. To buy the AMAZING Himiway Cruiser, click our affiliate link below and get a huge ?50 of the price by using the promo code SAILINGMELODY https://uk.himiwaybike.com/sailingmelody But does a big fat tyre bike like this work as a means of land transport for live-aboard? Well that's what I want to find out. So to test that theory I set about loading the bike into the dinghy and heading off to the beach for a trial run.
