A league of her own.

Designed and hydrodynamically engineered for serious all-round performance, the XF75 is the largest boat to date to employ the Xpedition Wing technology and Voodoo’s hydrofoil assisted catamaran hull form for extreme fuel efficiency. The XF75 draws from the world renown success of the XF60, Voodoo Yacht’s acclaimed model of hydrofoil assisted catamaran. Performance is not only extremely fast – cruising speeds of 30-37 knots and top speeds of 45+ knots – but also agile, comfortable and able to be maintained in rougher conditions than most yachts. Her head turning, elegantly aggressive sports styling personifies an unmatched power and performance capability. Open up and relax in the XF75’s large and spacious living areas, including multiple interior and exterior lounging and dining spaces, and a full-beam master suite. A large, open, main…

IS THERE A NEED FOR TWO BOAT SHOWS IN AUCKLAND?

I left the Auckland Boat Show in late March with mixed feelings. Yes, it was a fabulous venue, and the idyllic weather undoubtedly helped it, but where were the people with money to spend? While those on the marina seemed to do well, with several big boats sold during the show, the same could not be said for most trailer boat exhibitors. According to NZ Marine, there were 116 boats on the water and around 250 on land, which is a record for both sectors. "I spoke to quite a few exhibitors after the show, and most were complimentary about the show and pleasantly surprised with the results, reporting boats sold at the show and some very positive leads to follow up", says Peter Busfield, CEO of NZ Marine. However,…

THE BEST SALES PITCH I’VE EVER HEARD…

Well here we go again – we are well into boat show season, with the Auckland Boat Show last month, now well under our belt and what a great show it was, with many new and returning subscribers signing up, along with marine products and boats small and more so large finding their way a little closer to new owners, despite the so called main media driven recession approaching, possibly why smaller craft did not get the sales normally generated from a show!! For 35 years now I have attended boat shows all around the world, mixing with our readers, the industry and show patrons, it has always been enjoyable. Being a ‘salesperson’ myself, it has always been entertaining listening from afar, the banter between the show patrons and salespeople.…

ANOTHER RECORD YEAR…

Summer may be waning but if the results from the recent Auckland On Water Boat Show are anything to go by the glow of summer certainly has not faded. Sealegs International recorded another record year in FY23 topped off with over $1.5 million in sales at this year’s four day event reinforcing the popularity of amphibious craft - both traditional Rigid Hull Inflatables (RIB's) as well as our ever popular all alloy craft. The show also provided a wonderful launch pad for two new Sealegs models - the 3.8 meter amphibious electric tender (3.8T) for which we received a huge amount of interest, as well as the all-new Sealegs 6.5 meter Alloy Cuddy Cabin. Looking back over past years we’re delighted to see the overall market for amphibious craft has…

Since 1985, Hydrolift from Norway has chosen to do things differently. It has challenged convention and continually delivered innovative designs that have been game changing. Its owner and designer, Bard Eker knows a thing or two about going quickly in boats, and how to make them that way. He is a former winner of the Class One Offshore Powerboat World Championship, he is also a key influence behind the ground-breaking Koenigsegg supercar and this experience in world-beating design coupled with a drive to succeed forms the DNA of Hydrolift. As the name Hydrolift suggests, it chose to adopt the twin step hull that provides lift and a more comfortable driving experience and at higher speeds, than would normally be attained by a conventional day boat. A challenging 80 knots is…

YANMAR RECREATIONAL BOATS VF23 AND VX30

Now, coming from this famous engine manufacturer we are about to see Yanmar Boats hit our shores. Yanmar Recreational Boats have been part of the boating industry in Japan for more than 50 years, supplying high-end fishing cruisers, they are now ready to take the new challenge of bringing Japanese fishing and leisure craft to New Zealand and Australian waters. VF23: The first boat expected to be exhibited in May at the Hutchwilco NZ Boat Show is the 23FT fishing cruiser. The new addition to New Zealand market will surely create a wave of interest for the Kiwi fishing enthusiast. The VF23AZ is an inboard fiberglass boat that Yanmar believe will fit into the medium boat market with plenty of space for fishing. Equipped with their own Yanmar Diesel Engine…

Conceived in collaboration with Lobanov Design Studio, BMT Nigel Gee and the interior designer Achille Salvagni. “Our Tuhura is a simple idea,” explained designer Igor Lobanov, “The thought was to take a natural shape similar to those seen in the earliest canoe-type craft and augment it multifold to a larger scale, using modern technology.” The main inspiration for the interior design is East Asia and the Pacific islands. Achille Salvagni refers to the interior as a “brushed teak habitat” including thin reveals in gunmetal and natural bronze with tatami floors. ‘Tuhura’ is derived from the Maori verb meaning: to discover, bring to light, unearth, open up, explore, and investigate. “Our Tuhura is a simple idea,” explains Igor Lobanov, “The thought was to take a natural shape similar to those seen…

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES LAURIE

I had a phone call one day around 13 years ago. In fact, from a guy who had purchased a Nordhavn 46 and was planning to cruise the Med with his wife. Would I be interested in a story? Of course, I said yes, as I like stories about the Kiwi can do attitude. Kiwi’s out there doing it. I admit I was a little jealous as cruising around the Med sounded idyllic. That guy was Laurie Cranfield, who, with his wife, Diane, would spend the next seven years exploring just about every corner of the Med. What started in the March 2010 issue of Pacific MotorYacht as one or two articles stretched out to an ongoing series that lasted for over eight years and more than 75 episodes. The…

WHAT A CRAZY TIME

Mind you, we did hear this 24 months ago when it was suggested that COVID (through the same mainstream media) would launch us into the worst economic recession ever seen in our lifetime. Buckle in, they said. To then, for the marine industry anyway, experience one of the most positive, buoyant marine markets I have seen in my 35-year stretch working in the marine industry. According to recently released statistics, with 40% of the population boating annually and the nation’s fleet growing by an estimated 44,810 vessels per year, boating in New Zealand has reached new heights. The New Zealand marine industry is on a roll. Boating is New Zealand’s largest recreational activity, with 1.9 million, or 40 per cent of New Zealand’s population, participating in boating each year. However,…

DEAN LEIGH-SMITH PASSES

Australian marine industry stalwart, Dean Leigh Smith passed away recently. Along with brother Ryan he operated the very successful Leith-Smith Yachts brokerage based in Sanctuary Cove, Gold Coast. A vibrant and very active participant in the Australian marine industry, Dean followed the ethos of offering a good old fashioned service, coupled to his vast product knowledge. The Leigh-Smith family has been selling boats in Australia for over five decades with brothers Dean & Ryan Leigh-Smith drawing on their earlier generations passion, values and experiences. The renowned Gold Coast City Marina, was designed, built run and 50% owned by the Leigh-Smith Family until 2014. The GCCM served as a 17yr apprenticeship for Dean & Ryan Leigh-Smith establishing an in-depth knowledge of the marine industry. Another achievement was the Gold Coast Marine…

FROM LAND TO SEA IN SECONDS

Recognised at the Waikato Business Awards, the FC 700HTA joins its sister ship the FC 700 Centre Console Amphibioius (FC700CCA) as part of the new FC Venture range. FC’s unique features are at the forefront of design, with qualities that customers will appreciate. The FC 700HTA features FC’s extended gunnels, a passive live bait tank, plus FC’s dual positive buoyancy system. At the heart of the amphibious craft though is the Anura Amphibious System. Boasting continuous run time as opposed to other electric systems, and built for even the harshest terrain, the FC 700HTA gives the user greater freedom both on land & sea. Featuring a Mercury 250 V8, Minn Kota Ulterra, Zipwake trim tabs and Seadek flooring, comfort at sea has been carefully considered. Inside, the FC 700HTA boasts…

CUSTOM BUILD

Striking in its refined green exterior paint finish, the boat offers a dedicated master suite forward plus a midship guest cabin for ad ditional comfort and privacy on liveaboard cruises. Increased use of wood-finish laminates adds even more class to the bathroom and bedroom spaces. Subtle changes to the saloon are tailor-made to its owner’s specific requirements. The Dickey Semifly 36 offers supreme fuel economy via a Volvo D6-440 sterndrive with efficient lithium batteries supplying the house systems, including an induction cooktop. The Dickey Semifly 36 is one of five models in the Semifly range and certainly one of the most popular. Bridging the gap elegantly between the highly capable Semifly 32 and the flagship Semifly 45, the completely redesigned Semifly 36 delivers in every way. Space, pace, ride and…

Here in NZ we race many types of craft on oval or triangular left hand turn tracks which range in overall length of between 1 and 2 kilometers. Our courses are on New Zealand’s many inland waterways, lakes, rivers and sheltered harbours.

Circuit racing boats include Hydroplanes, Racing Runabouts, V-Bottoms and Tunnel Boats. They range in size and speed from ten (10) foot long with a top speed of 60 kph boats through to the big GP Hydroplanes that are seven (7) metres in length and capable of speeds of over 250kph.

On this site you will find class descriptions, race team profiles, our race calendar, racing news, classified advertisements, contact details for provincial clubs, drivers clubs and our national executive as well as photo galleries of our current and past racers. There is also a growing page of links to other boat racing sites.
