A luxury 120ft yacht will be sold at auction later this month with no reserve. Interested?

Seems to have managed a trans Atlantic trip.

I'm thinking of water skiing.

What sort of speed and range would something like this do? Twin 375 hp engines doesn't sound like a lot of grunt to move it.

She has a top speed of 13 knots, with a cruising speed of 10 knots. The tankage is not quoted, but they must be large as the range is 5000 miles.

So it won't get Woody up on his skis then.

If I sold my current yacht I might realise enough to fill Kahu's fuel tank; once.

I am sure a rib on a crane would enable you to waterski. Might also have a couple of jet skis, sub aqua gear, paddle boards, windsurfers, etc.

I remember seeing her moored on the breakwater of Port St Charles marina here early last year - she was here for some time.
I doubt that she loaded her cargo on board here though - a friend who has a fully paid sub to Marinetraffic later told me that he saw her (on Marinetraffic) do a little 'diversion' along the way, on her route from here to Britain. Maybe the authorities in Britain were made aware of this as well - maybe the Kahu crew forgot that their AIS transmitter was still switched on.....
Even if you can buy her for a song, her operating costs will be enormous - she will need a full crew complement, all with the proper qualifications and STCW tickets, and the cost of filling those tanks to give her 5,000 miles of range would be fairly eye watering, even if you filled them up in the Channel islands.

Eh?? That is about the boat.

I downloaded the details. Built in 1979 in steel in China. Tarted up in New Zealand in 2012. Looks like lipstick on a pig to me. Perfect for an impoverished Oligarch to get back cheaply into the club of superyacht ownership.
