► 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!

#DoubleTrapeze #iFLY15 #Foiling double in the trapeze with the i'FLY15 for the first time with coach. Nice review : Philip Walker, recreational / family sailor from Switzerland, Lake Murten: « As a mid-40 year-old with 3 young children, a busy life, moderate fitness, some past but no recent sailing and windsurfing experience, but absolutely no catamaran experience; I watched the same iFly15 youtube videos you have, I eyed the price tag and then for a long while I just sat there on the fence with excuses. When was I really going to find the time to sail the thing, was this not just an expensive mid-life crisis toy, was I even going to be able to sail it, how was I going to get it out of the harbour without crashing, could I right it if I capsized, what if I could not control it? The indecision was my comfort zone, not taking the plunge into the unknown was in my safe place. And then I finally took the plunge, I deserved something for me, and those youtube videos just looked like too much damn fun! Still feeling like this could be an expensive mistake, Michael came to assemble the boat, and to be honest gave me a crash course in all things catamaran. We went out on the water together, the two of us out on the trapeze, and for several glorious runs we foiled, I was immediately hooked! Several weeks later came the tough part, just me, 11-15 knots of wind, white caps, and my iFly15. The excuses and fears came back. Last time it was easy, but that was all Michael, he isn’t here now, this time it was just me. Apprehension, fear, the unknown. I followed the steps in setting the boat up, got the boat out without incident and despite my fears multiple foiling runs, out on the trapeze, speed, whining sound of foils in the water, the full monty! I capsized once and that was not because of being overpowered it was because I lost my footing, and righting the boat went smoothly and without incident. The secret of the iFly15 is it is a highly technical machine made to be easy to sail and incredibly accessible. It is compact with not too much sail area and it is very easy to take the power out of the sail and to comfortably sit in an upward position and catch your breath. Safe and in control, on my first day alone out on the water I finally understood what a great boat this is, and I absolutely love it! »

Galeon Yachts Info & Contact: https://bit.ly/3pjeqOf We have been fans of this brand for a while, and we finally get to bring Our very first Galeon Power Yacht Tour to the channel. We have picked GALEON 510 SKYDECK to show you because we have felt it bridged the gap for people who love the look of the Express Cruiser but also really like the idea of having a flybridge on the motor yacht (SKY). This coastal Cruiser is full of amazing features, some of which I definitely added to our NBBL, just wait and see all the innovations! She would make an awesome Liveaboard or a Weekender full of Luxury and Style. 😜 Let me know what you guys think of this one in the comments

The office rib is very popular with our clients for taking them around the marina as this is the best way to view boats. However she does have her problems. As demonstrated here very nicely by Jon from the brokerage team. She does not work too well without fuel. Nevertheless, the clients got to see the boat they came to look at, and Jon has had his morning exercise. Please note: This service is not available on sea trials! https://www.yachts.co Unit 1 Fishmarket Quay Swansea Marina SA11UP 01792 465550 Info@yachts.co
