About the craft
The Voodoo hull design is a wave-piercing, partially planing displacement hull, with a very low draft and drag coefficient. At 57 feet she is one of the largest catamarans in the world with outboard engines. Generally, vessels this size have large inboard engines which require a lot of space, fire safety equipment, rudders and steering mechanics increasing draft and drag. Voodoo has no rudders and no machinery space at all as our power plants are outside the vessel making her very safe.
The vessel is very fuel-efficient for her size. Voodoo is mostly carbon fiber making her very light. The outboard diesel engines are state of the art and provide immense fuel savings over conventional gas engines.
