Kingfisher 26
Kingfisher 26 is a 25 ′ 11 ″ / 7.9 m monohull sailboat designed by R.A.G. Nierop and built by Westfield Engineering Co. (Marine) Ltd. starting in 1972.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Review of Kingfisher 26
Basic specs..
The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.
The boat is equipped with 114.0 liter fresh water capacity.
The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.
The Kingfisher 26 is equipped with a bilge keel. A bilge keel is a double keel, which allows the boat to be beached. Bilge keels are the most popular keel for tidal waters.
The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.99 - 1.09 meter (3.25 - 3.55 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Kingfisher 26 is typically equipped with a Watermota Sea Wolf gasoline engine at 28 hp (20 kW). Calculated max speed is about 8.2 knots.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 45.0 liters (11 US gallons, 9 imperial gallons).
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for Kingfisher 26 is 1.82, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Kingfisher 26 is about 100 kg/cm, alternatively 561 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 100 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 561 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
Sailing statistics
This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.
What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?
What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?
What is a Ballast Ratio?
What is Displacement Length Ratio?
SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 15.18
Maintenance
When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 16m 2 (172 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.
If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.
Usage | Length | Diameter | ||
Jib sheet | 7.9 m | (26.0 feet) | 10 mm | (3/8 inch) |
Genoa sheet | 7.9 m | (26.0 feet) | 10 mm | (3/8 inch) |
Mainsheet | 19.8 m | (65.0 feet) | 10 mm | (3/8 inch) |
Spinnaker sheet | 17.4 m | (57.2 feet) | 10 mm | (3/8 inch) |

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.
Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530
Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.
Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.
Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior
Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.
Riva Iseo superyacht tender
Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.

Kingfisher 730 Powercat 2024 Review
New zealand specialist power catamaran boat maker, kingfisher, has launched a tough new fishing model called the 730 powercat.
This hardtop half cabin boat is available with an open or enclosed wheelhouse – and with a huge range of fishing features and accessories.
This terrific new sports fishing trailer boat is paired with twin Yamaha 200hp four-stroke outboards to deliver excellent performance.
Kingfisher made its way across the Tasman from New Zealand in 2023, launching at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat show with Queensland dealer, Wynnum Marine.
The first Kingfisher models in Australia were single-engine centre console cats in 4.5m, 5.1m and 5.7m lengths.
More than 12 months on, the Kingfisher brand is gaining traction as anglers and powered catamaran enthusiasts acknowledge the quality of these innovative craft.
At the 2024 Sanctuary Cove Boat Show , Wynnum Marine presented several larger Kingfisher models – including the brand new, twin-outboard 730 Powercat hardtop.
We spent some time on the water with Kingfisher’s new offshore cat, with the test rig paired with twin Yamaha 200hp extra-longshaft outboard engines.
Price and equipment
The 730 Powercat is now Kingfisher’s biggest trailerable powered catamaran, replacing the 620 series as the trailer boat flagship.
Larger, wide-beam Kingfisher cats are also available in sizes through to 14m for both recreational and custom commercial boating applications.
Remarkably, Kingfisher also has a full line-up of plate-alloy monohull boats from 4.0m to 10.0m in length – although still no access to those boats in Australia.
The Kingfisher 730 Powercat is available with or without a fully enclosed, lockable wheelhouse.
Our test boat was the open version with the helm station enclosed on three sides, complete with a view-enhancing single-piece front windscreen and sliding cabin side windows.
Package pricing for the Kingfisher 730 Powercat HT starts at $257,539 and includes dual counter-rotating Yamaha 150hp extra-longshaft outboards with digital electronic controls and electric power steering; a Yamaha CL5 engine display; Evolution 3500kg rated custom trailer with electric-hydraulic brakes; dual cranking batteries; dual house batteries; safety gear pack; and boat and trailer registrations.
Inside the boat there is plenty of factory kit as well – too much to list here, but scroll to the bottom of this review to view all of the standard inclusions.
Our test boat was set-up for display at the 2024 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. It was accordingly loaded with cool options, features and accessories.
Electronics gear included Garmin 8416xsv and 8412xsv multi-function displays with Airmar and Garmin through-hull transducers; Garmin GMR Fantom Radar with Motionscope; Garmin 215i VHF radio; Fusion RA210 Stereo with four speakers; and a ROKK wireless phone charger.
Optional fishing features included a transom live bait tank; port-side bait board with tackle drawer and fishing tools; raw water deck wash; starboard-side custom Plaztek tackle station with drawers; Plaztek tool, pole and gaff holders; Kilwell outrigger bases and poles; plumbed sub-floor kill tanks; extra rod holders; transom sink with tap and 50L freshwater tank.
Elsewhere, the test boat was optioned with an upgraded Maxwell drum winch, U-Dek flooring upgrade; metallic hull side paint upgrade; extra cleats; two windshield wipers; additional deck lights; underwater and under-gunnel lighting; electric toilet; custom port-side wheelhouse seating with dinette; transom door; Travel Buddy pie oven; Icey-Tek ice box upgrade (115L and 90L); and more.
With the above extra kit, and paired with larger Yamaha F200 four-stroke outboards, Yamaha’s full Helm Master EX navigation and joystick control system, and an upgraded GFab tri-axle aluminium braked trailer, the driveway package price rises to $376,253.
Hull and engineering
The Kingfisher 730 has a maximum length of 7.3m and an Aussie road-legal towing width of 2.49m.
The bare hull weighs about 2000kg, while the wet towing wet for the heavily optioned test boat is 3500kg when paired with the standard Evolution tandem axle trailer – but rising to about 3600kg on the premium GFab tri-axle braked alloy trailer.
Either way, the Kingfisher 730 is no light weight: you’ll need a Dodge Ram/Chevy Silverado size vehicle to haul this big rig on the highway.
Below the waterline, the Kingfisher 730 has symmetric shaped sponsons with a very fine bow entry shape.
Inner and outer chine flats run all the way aft to provide lift at speed, stability at rest.
The topsides are tall and there is a pronounced sheer to the deck-line that’s designed to keep spray at bay – and to give the boat a tough-looking stance on the water.
The 730 Powercat is made using 5mm welded plate alloy for the hull and transom, 4mm for the topsides, cabin and self-draining cockpit floor.

Design and layout.
Our Kingfisher 730 test boat had an open plan layout so that you can walk right through from the cockpit to the front cabin where there is a full width double berth.
The double berth is 1.83m long x 1.42m wide, and upholstered using a patterned (stain hiding) brown cloth material.
Beneath the berth there are storage lockers, as well as provision for the optional toilet on the starboard side.
Lack of privacy will be an issue when using the toilet, as there is no cabin bulkhead. However, I am pleased that Kingfisher has at least made a toilet available.
To use the toilet, you need to remove the starboard side berth cushion and the centre infill cushion/board.
Surprisingly, given the Kingfisher has something of a working boat vibe, there is carpet lining the cabin ceiling and surrounds – which warms up the interior.
Access to the front anchorwell (and included Maxwell drum winch) is via the exterior cabin sides, rather than through a cabin hatch.
Helm and hardtop
The helm station is nicely setup with a full width dash beneath the one-piece toughened glass windshield which provides an unrestricted view for the skipper.
The helm fascia/instrument panel is not as large as some I have seen recently, but it is big enough to flush-fit a 16-inch display – such as the Garmin 8416xsv optioned to our test boat.
A second Garmin display was bracket-mounted in the centre of the dash, above an optional Travel Buddy pie oven to port and a very handy full width welded grab rail.
The helm dash/fascia panel might be modest in size, but provision is made to comfortably fit Yamaha’s digital binnacle throttle controls, along with a Yamaha Joystick to operate the optional Helm Master EX boat control system.
Sliding side windows channel cooling air into the wheel house when required.
Overhead, beneath the hardtop, there is provision for radio head units, stereo speakers, lighting, dual full-length ceiling handrails and cockpit spreader lights out back.
The hardtop itself is sturdy and rigid. There was no movement or vibration when underway.
The hardtop is also used as a mounting base for the optional Kilwell outriggers, Garmin radar, navigation lights, radio aerials, and a nine-rod rocket launcher rod-rack.
Reconfigurable seating
The Kingfisher comes standard with box-mounted bucket helm chairs, but our test boat was optioned with a Plaztek tackle station behind the starboard side helm chair/storage box, and a clever seat/dinette arrangement for the crew opposite.
With removable and repositionable backrests, the port side seating layout can be configured as a chaise-style lounge, a two-person dinette with adjustable height table – or as a pair of forward- or aft-facing single seats with backrests.
Both port and starboard side seat boxes allowed for the fitment of the upgraded, split-lid Icey-Tek ice boxes – which slide out into the cockpit.
Fishing cockpit
The large, U-Dek surfaced self-draining cockpit stretches 1.95m aft of the helm seats back to a full height transom wall.
The cockpit is flanked by 2.35m-wide side coamings and a two-tier side-storage pocket setup that extends the length of the cockpit.
The lower side pockets are comfortably above the floor (to provide toe/foot support underneath) and incorporate a horizontal rod storage rack.
Two large, sub-floor kill tanks provide more storage, and/or space to ice-down the day’s catch.
Other features/options included a Plaztek bait board with drawers, starboard-side sink with faucet and freshwater tank, multiple welded rod holders and cup holders, a casting/swim cage out back, elevated transom battery/storage compartments, and a live bait tank built into the centre transom boarding step/walkway.
The bait tank is sufficient in size and shape, but it did have a rigging tube running across the top of it – which may cause bruising/irritation to live baits.
On the water
The Kingfisher 730HT is a fun, fast offshore fishing boat – especially when paired with the twin 200hp Yamaha extra-longshaft outboards.
We clocked a top speed of 43.8 knots with two adults onboard and with full fuel and water.
More significantly perhaps, the Kingfisher is quick offshore – in the sense that the very smooth, cushioned ride and balanced handling allows for a high cruise speed in mild to moderate conditions.
The 730HT is also very solid, stable – and drier than many other cats I have tested in the 6.5-8.0m size range.
Like most cats, the Kingfisher runs best with the engines trimmed out/up to allow air flow into the tunnel to generate lift.
That said, the big cat is responsive to power trim so you can lift or lower the nose easily to suit the sea conditions.
At displacement speeds, the Kingfisher sits solid and secure in the water. However, this model does not have a tunnel “wave-breaker” fairing/pod so there is some tunnel wave slap when slow trolling directly into a headsea.
Overall, the Kingfisher 730 delivers the goods with regard to handling, ride and performance.
I’d happily run this boat to the wide offshore canyon fishing grounds, safe in the knowledge that it’s capable of dealing with the rough stuff and getting me home safely.

Range on 95 per cent of the 440L fuel supply at 3500rpm: 235.6nm
The Kingfisher 730 Hardtop is an excellent powered catamaran, and a superb fishing trailer boat.
It’s not cheap with all the optional gear and equipment fitted, but as tested the Kingfisher is ready to go offshore to do battle with everything from mackerel to marlin.
Would I have one? In a heartbeat.
