Just in time for the recent Sanctuary Cove Boat Show, The Boat Works welcomed the Voodoo XF75, Mach 4, which is likely the fastest motor yacht to make it across “The Ditch”, making the 1,170 nautical mile voyage from New Zealand to the Gold Coast in just 36 hours.
The 22.8-metre power catamaran has hit a top speed of 50.9 knots, and during the voyage from New Zealand cruised most of the trip at 35 to 36 knots, even amazing Customs agents who were tracking its voyage. To a soundtrack of Led Zeppelin, ACDC and an assortment of rock, Mitch Pachoud and two other crew from esteemed New Zealand builder, Voodoo Yachts, with the owner and two of his mates, departed from the Bay of Islands on Thursday morning, made a brief stop at Balls Pyramid and Lord Howe Island, then carried on to Australia.
They arrived at Southport Yacht Club Customs on the Friday night and were cleared by Border Force on the Saturday morning. They arrived at The Boat Works by mid-morning and were berthed at the Superyacht basin for finishing touches in preparation for the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show where they exhibited the sensational Voodoo XF75 in its global debut.
