Tony Longhurst’s Schionning G-Force 2000 launched

Article by Australian Multihull World

“Light, sturdy, fast, offshore, self-sufficient, hybrid” was the brief for the uncompromising owner of the latest model Schionning G-Force 2000 Speciale. What resulted is a performance cat that is truly pioneering.

“This boat is the latest and greatest, testament to an Australian boat building industry that is alive and kicking, making hand-crafted, quality boats that are the product of excellent working relationship between client, designer, builder and supplier,” so says the owner of Noosa Marine, Julian Griffiths, who with his team and a reliable network of marine suppliers brought the stunning 19.5m (65ft) Kato to life.

Built as a comfortable family cruising catamaran, Kato was constructed in 14 months.

A two-master, two-ensuite layout with all the comforts of home for extended cruising, the vessel is kitted out with the best of everything, drawing on the superyacht, supermaxi and super-green technology.

Stylish tapware and bowl complement the black ports.

Fitting with the carbon theme, we could not pass up on the huge weight saving of the carbon toilets.

The owner’s aim was to “reduce weight and produce one of the lightest and fastest cruising multihulls on the water”.

Skimming the water around its home port of the Gold Coast, Kato is completely carbon fibre everything – hull, superstructure, furnishings and even the loo.

“Using carbon fibre throughout gives the boat a stiffer, lighter platform, so there’s no deflection in the boat or rig when you’re powering through all conditions,” said Griffiths. “The boat is made to travel worldwide, and it’s fully self-sufficient.”

Lorraine Murray at ATL Composites was involved in the build. “The goal was to keep the boat as light as possible,” she affirmed.

“Hull construction is strip planked with DuraKore which has been standard for the G-Force designs since they were first designed, however, the hulls have been reinforced with carbon fibre rather than standard e-glass to provide extra stiffness and reduce weight for increased performance.”

Other structural components have been supplied as a DuFLEX Composite Component Pack all cored with ProBalsa, which is used extensively in the marine industry worldwide to provide exceptional compressive strength, high thermal and sound insulation and low FST (Fire, Smoke and Toxicity) properties. The DuFLEX panels are laminated with carbon fibre double bias reinforcements for added stiffness.

The interior is also a CNC-routed Component Pack with Featherlight composite panels cored with Divinycell H60, a low density unique combination of polyuren and PVC core that ensures good thermal/acoustic insulation. Laminated with carbon fibre reinforcements, these custom Featherlight panels were specified to provide superior stiffness and again, meet the brief to be ultra-lightweight.

“Manufacturing the interior as a complete component pack allowed the weight to be controlled and the computer-generated routing files allowed for maximum efficiency in nesting and reduced wastage of raw materials.”

A completely carbon-reinforced boat, outside of international racing circles, is unusual, she admitted, “but weight and performance were the criteria for this project, so it was logical”.

ATL Composites was chosen for its processes and quality control.

“Our manufacturing process is unique and quality control measures are taken at every stage of the process,” said Lorraine. “Our Composite Panel Production has DNV-GL Code Approval and ATL Composites has ISO-9001 Quality Management certification ensuring that all our products are produced to the highest standard with complete manufacturing records.”

Kato’s sails and rig were designed in a collaboration between North Sails and Southern Spars.

Her first sail showed us all what she can do, easily reaching speeds of 25kts.

The 23m mast was made in South Africa, while the one-piece molded 3Di sails from North Sails were made of a light-weight pre-preg product used in America’s Cup boats and Formula 1 cars.

Southern Spars and North Sails interfaced with their in-house design software to create the best aerofoil package available for a modern cat.

The in-boom furling system aboard was custom designed and built, making Kato one of the first performance-oriented cruisers to install one. “The square top mainsail will furl into the boom. A lot of design work went into it, while production time was around eight weeks,” said Bradford.

Ian Smith, owner and director Everything Marine at The Boat Works represents Southern Spars Australia-wide. As Smith explains “Furling booms are common on superyachts and this step represents the flow on effect from superyachts. For a cruising yacht, it will improve sail handling without severely compromising performance. It makes single handed sailing much easier.”

While the furling boom is “a touch heavier than a conventional boom”, Smith admitted, “There are no reef lines flapping around, no lazy jacks”.

According to Smith, there are plenty of benefits for larger catamarans to adopt this style of furling boom. “They are becoming more popular worldwide because they make single-handed sailing a breeze and are relatively low maintenance – a great investment.”

But its green credentials really come into play when it comes to the propulsion. The owner undertook extensive research into hybrid power, scouring the world (via the net) for leading proponents of this emerging technology.

From Finland, the innovative Oceanvolt electric engine, was chosen and installed in the aft utility room. Fifteen Italian-made 110 watt solar panels were installed on the roof above the cockpit.

“The boat runs on solar and through an inverter to the lithium battery, so it should never need to use its auxiliary generator,” said Griffiths.

Australian distributor, Errol Cain of Australian Marine Wholesale is effusive in his praise for the innovative system and believes it truly represents the future of sailing propulsion.

“It uses a lithium battery and can work on its own or in tandem with solar or wind. It’s silent and lightweight, emission-free and low maintenance, creating energy while sailing. It’s absolutely a viable replacement for diesel propulsion.”

“There is a standby generator onboard, for use on a rainy day,” says Griffiths, ironically during the wettest March in 30 years. Speaking after a week of sea trials on the Sunshine Coast, the Noosa Marine team describes the ride as “awesome”.

“The platform felt great. The carbon and the lightness of the rigging, all kept the motion stable. The advantage of the weight reduction using EC6 rigging is very noticeable.

“We topped out at 24kts on its second sail, at gusts between 18 and 20kts. We had to repitch the propellers, we went up 3° in pitch, and that got us up to our desired speed of 10kts and the manufacturer’s RPM.

“We motored to the Gold Coast once the wind died out, under dark rainy skies. We used 3L of fuel per hour at a steady speed of 6kts. With a full crew of nine onboard – including the directors of Southern Spars, North Sails and Everything Marine, we were happy with that.”

As for the anticipated 30kts, the team is confident it will be “quite achievable in the right conditions”.

Powerplay: Tony Longhurst

Motor racing fans know him as the two-time winner of the bathurst 1000 who went on to race internationally and take several crowns in the touring car circuit. still, there’s more to tony longhurst than ex-racing champ and car connoisseur..

14 April 2022

The Boat Works, located in the heart of the Gold Coast Marine Precinct, Coomera, Tony Longhurst is the indefatigable mentor to an equally energised team and builds on a proud 45-year history in the region.

He was raised in Sydney’s south, surfing, waterskiing and crazy about cars. At the age of 18, he set the Australian waterski speed record, whipping across the water at 201 kilometres per hour.

Tony and his brother Rodney – who since 2012 has been at the helm of Riviera Motor Yachts, adjacent to The Boat Works – were carpenters by trade, which equipped them with the practical tools for jobs for life, and to build an empire.

His dad, John Longhurst – entrepreneur, boatbuilder, developer and pioneer of the Gold Coast’s tourism industry, who recently passed away, aged 89 – was a major influence and remains a guiding beacon to Tony’s ambition.

In the late 1970s, John Longhurst returned from a trip to the US with plans to conjure from the pastures of Coomera Australia’s first theme park: Dreamworld.

Tony was on the tools, bringing John’s vision to life and, in the process, built a Queensland landmark and award-winning Australian icon that attracts around a million visitors each year, supporting around 40,000 jobs over four decades.

“For four years, there were only seven of us on site, working seven days,” recalls Tony. “It was a massive undertaking, and 40 years on, our family is still investing in the area.”

After Dreamworld opened, Tony’s passion for speed and an inherited love of cars led him to a career in motor racing. In 1985, under the tutelage of Frank Gardner, who led JPS Racing, and Ron Meacham, who headed up BMW Australia when Tony took to the track, his laser focus, stamina and quiet determination gave him the edge.

Ocean magazine: Tony, you’re famous for your car racing success at Bathurst and many other touring championships. Can you tell us something about your car racing days we might not know?

Tony Longhurst: I spent 25 years on the track, competing in Australia, New Zealand, the US and UK. I won the Bathurst 1000 twice (racing both Ford and Holden), won the Bathurst 12 Hour in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, and won the Australian Touring Car Championship in a BMW.

I retired in 2019 after racing at Mount Panorama in the 2018 Bathurst 12-hour endurance race. Our GT4 BMW won its class, which was a satisfying way to wrap it up.

Since retiring, I’ve never looked back at old videos, but I watched the races from 1985–92 with my dad the other day, and couldn’t believe how focused I was on racing. I was obsessed with trying to get the most out of my car and myself.

I’ve applied that same focus every step along the way to develop The Boat Works, no matter what the challenge. I had to navigate the layers of bureaucracy, which was a nightmare and harder than winning Bathurst! We’ve now built a world-class facility without peer.

You come from a very well-known boating family that has owned some significant yachts over the years, and your brother Rodney owns Riviera. What are some of your favourite memories of growing up on the water?

We grew up in Yowie Bay in Port Hacking, New South Wales, so every spare moment I was on the water. Dad was making boats under the Pride brand, so we always had a boat.

From a young age, I was driving the boat, learning to ski, to barefoot. I was obsessed with that for a long time. It was a different era; so much more freedom. Life was easier then.

How many boats have you owned over the years – sailing and power – and what do you most enjoy about them?

I’ve been lucky. I’ve raced, owned ski boats, cruisers – probably a dozen. And now we’ve enjoyed a decade of sailing catamarans.

My favourite is our current cat Kato , a 19.5-metre Schionning G Force 2000 specifically built by Julian Griffiths and his team at Noosa Marine. Julian’s a racer and loves boats; we’re a good combo.

Kato is testament to a thriving Australian boatbuilding industry and the product of excellent working relationships between client, designer, builder and suppliers.

Tell us about your journey transitioning from the car to the boating industry.

I made the move from supercars to superyachts in 2012, taking over The Boat Works from Rodney and his business partner and Riviera CEO Wes Moxey.

The original yard was established in 1980 by Bruce ‘Sharkie’ Harris on ten acres adjacent to the Dreamworld site. At the time, it was cow paddocks, farmhouses and sheds. Since then, The Boat Works has doubled in size to two yards, totalling 55 acres and offering an experience like no other.

We’ve created an innovative and modern boatyard, marina and superyacht yard with unlimited hardstand, expansive storage and superyacht sheds, accommodating everything from wide-bodied catamarans, motor yachts and sailboats to superyachts.

Great care and attention to detail have been taken in every detail of the facilities, which is arguably the cleanest, greenest and most comprehensive facility in the world.

Owners, captains and crew experience the VIP treatment as every element on site has been designed to offer an experience.

Lawns, palms, even citrus trees make up the beautiful landscape to create an oasis throughout. No less, the experience extends to the bespoke and welcoming VIP lounge, which boasts an interior decor that wouldn’t look out of place on most superyachts.

We’re proud to say we carry out more than 5,000 boat movements per year, hauling out a range of vessels from the smallest leisure craft to superyachts up to 75 metres for both in- and out-of-water service, maintenance and refits.

We’ve also installed Fox ecosystems, filtration and environmental water systems throughout the site, ensuring the diversion of contaminated run-off from the stormwater and waterways.

Applying science to all aspects of the new build, the superyacht sheds and hardstand construction allows the catchment of all run-off water to be effectively filtered via bio garden beds that aggregate and ensure full drainage.

To reduce our carbon emissions, we’ve installed a 100 kW solar panel system in the south yard with a similar system to be installed in the superyacht yard.

Last year, Seabin COO Mahi Paquette and Marine Ecologist David Turton visited The Boat Works to demonstrate the V5 Seabin trash skimmer, which intercepts floating debris and macro- and micro-plastics. They were impressed with what we’ve achieved and compared it to the most progressive yards in the world.

What keeps your working day fresh? What do you like about the industry?

Ninety-nine percent of the people we work with are good quality people; they’re great to deal with and care about the environment.

Every single day is different – the weather, customers, jobs, challenges. There’s always something you can improve on. We’re always trying to tweak things to make the yards more efficient, more pleasant for customers, and bring more work in for our tenants.

What are the hallmarks of The Boat Works’ ethos, its people and brand?

Our aim from the start was to develop the world’s most innovative, five-star boat resort. As well as state-of-the-art facilities, our people deliver a personalised service. Our staff are like family, and we extend that warmth to everyone who comes here.

We have a great culture and community with over 1,000 people on site. Since 2013, we’ve had minimal staff turnover – it’s still the same, energetic, young team in charge.

Every single person here is passionate about the boating lifestyle and the environment. We’re custodians of this section of coastline, and we’ve enhanced it from the neglected land it used to be.

Another factor is we won’t be beaten on price. We go the extra mile and, without a doubt, it’s the cleanest yard in the world.

What’s next for you and The Boat Works in terms of growth?

We’ve built the best slipway in Australia in less than 12 months. The $100-million superyacht yard and marina have been open a year. We welcomed more than 2,300 vessels over both yards during 2020, even during COVID restrictions.

We now haul 60-plus boats up to 55-metres out of the water each week. The bigger boats want the Super sheds, so we built four more Mega Sheds, 20-metres in height.

We’re at capacity now, which is beyond our wildest predictions.

Stage 3 is now complete – a $30-million services hub for marine businesses, including workshops and tenancies. We now have more than 80 tenants on site and most are reporting a marked rise in demand, hiring more skilled trades to keep pace.

Most importantly, my main objective since the start of this project is job creation. The Boat Works’ new superyacht yard has created 1,000 permanent jobs and diversified businesses.

More boats mean more jobs in the marine and boating industries, as well as in hospitality, tourism, provisioning – all the things visitors to our region want to see and experience.

What proportion of your business do you project will be in the superyacht sector (over 30 metres) in the coming five years compared to the smaller yacht sector?

There are two different yards, both going non-stop. For over 100-footers, our superyacht yard has ten sheds and ten hardstand spaces. We’re building an additional five superyacht sheds, which will be done by the end of the year.

In The Boat Works south, we haul out about 50 boats a week, averaging around 45 feet. In the superyacht yard (north) at the moment, we have 31 superyachts out of the water this week and the marina is full, with around 12 big white boats. These vessels stay longer and have more work done on them.

This momentum shows no sign of easing now that Australians are throwing themselves into boating in a big way since COVID travel restrictions.

Working in the boating industry for close to ten years now, what have been some of the most significant changes?

The boats have become larger and more high-tech, and marine businesses have become more professional to service them. Since I’ve been involved, the Marine Precinct has come of age.

Riviera is doing record numbers, Maritimo is doing record numbers, and our on-site chandlery is doing great business. Everything is here; the Marine Precinct is ideally located. Why would you take your boat anywhere else in Australia?

Right now, our industry is under intense scrutiny to become more environmentally friendly. What do you believe needs to change and how can this be achieved?

Attitude and investment. If your marina was built 50 years ago, or 20 years ago, there were different regulations. Today, requirements are so stringent. You have to invest millions in getting everything right.

We’re lucky we had the capital and cash flow to do it right. Our yard is in a league of its own in terms of environmental innovations and attention to detail.

What’s the biggest challenge ahead for refit yards?

Our workload is increasing, the boats are getting bigger, there are more of them and they are better quality, so as an industry we need to invest in training skilled personnel. Refits are becoming more prevalent.

Environmental issues are a concern for marinas. Approvals are a costly, time-consuming, complicated process, and this is especially challenging for smaller operators.

In terms of customer service and attention to detail, The Boat Works has lifted the bar, and we keep finding ways to raise it higher.

What sets The Boat Works apart from other yards?

Our competitive edge is the combination of high-quality service, knowledgeable staff and the amenities on site.

Our customers enjoy impeccably clean ensuites and free laundry facilities, and locals and visitors – non-boaties – drop in to enjoy the waterfront Galley restaurant, Cafe Twenty5 and our car museum, which showcases automotive history in dozens of vintage, classic and prestige cars.

We have built, from nothing, something nobody has ever seen or experienced before. That’s our legacy.

Sunshine Coast

First look at dreamworld co-founder's new $2.5m boat.

EXCLUSIVE: First look at the epic boat being built on the Sunshine Coast for a Dreamworld co-founder and dual Bathurst 1000 winner.

Don't miss out on the headlines from Sunshine Coast. Followed categories will be added to My News.

IT'S Dreamworld co-founder and two-time Bathurst 1000 winner Tony Longhurst's new 65-foot, $2.5 million luxury catamaran and it's the definition of state-of-the-art.

Even the dog bowl is carbon fibre.

Julian Griffiths, a boat builder of 25 years and owner of Noosa Marine, and his team of five, as well as subcontractors, have spent the past 14 months building the massive, multi-hull vessel in Noosaville.

The team are now about a week away from craning the boat into the Noosa River, steering it across the bar and sailing it down to Mr Longhurst's Coomera marina.

The sleek, carbon fibre catamaran comes in at just under 20m in length and is 8.6m wide, making it the largest boat Mr Griffiths and his crew have built, eclipsing a 63-footer they finished last year.

Mr Longhurst - who founded Dreamworld, which opened in 1981, with his father John - has a penchant for boats.

He owns The Boat Works marina in Coomera and his latest mega-boat is the second he's had built by the Noosa Marine team, who finished his previous boat about three years ago.

His latest vessel, also named Kato , is fully customised with two master bedrooms, two master bathrooms, is fully self-contained with air conditioning, fridges, freezer, water maker and can be sailed single-handedly.

"It's a world-cruising boat," Mr Griffiths, also a close friend of Mr Longhurst's, told the Daily.

Mr Griffiths said the boat's propulsion was fully electric as were its auxiliary motors, with solar panels on board providing the power, while a back-up generator could be called upon if there was not enough sun to power the cruiser.

The Noosa boat builder said while the technology was already in use, there were eyes from around the globe on Mr Longhurst's boat to see whether solar-electric power would work on a cruising yacht of that size.

There's America's Cup technology in the catamaran's sails while the masts are from South Africa and also carbon fibre.

Mr Griffiths said it was a cruising vessel, but expected it could reach speeds of up to 30 knots.

Mr Longhurst is no stranger to speed, having enjoyed a successful touring car career, taking out the coveted Bathurst 1000 twice, before his V8 Supercars career wrapped up in 2007, while he's also a champion water skier.

Aside from a few finishing touches, including electronics, windows and some upholstery, Mr Griffiths said the boat was finished, the only hurdle left getting the permits to transport the massive vessel and picking the right conditions to navigate the yacht through the at-times treacherous Noosa River mouth, onto Mooloolaba for testing, and then to Coomera.

With the rig and sails Mr Griffiths said the cost of constructing the dream boat was more than $2.5 million and with two similar boats already on order from other buyers, the next few years will be busy for the Noosa Marine team.

So what will Mr Longhurst be doing with a cruiser of that magnitude?

Mr Griffiths said it would ferry Mr Longhurst and his wife to all their favourite kiteboarding and stand-up paddleboarding destinations, with plenty of customised space on-deck for his boards.

"Even the dog bowl is a carbon fibre dog bowl, just to save on weight," Mr Griffiths said.

Mr Griffiths, who owns Noosa Marine with his wife, Jenny, said he and Mr Longhurst had become "pretty good friends" over the years and were also partners in a racing boat.

He said his team had been keeping a pretty "low profile" as they worked away in their shed on the stunning vessel for more than a year.

Projects: Kator: The cruising cat with a need for speed

If a motor racing legend asks you to build him the ultimate performance cruising cat, you pull out all the stops. Australian shipwright Julian Griffiths tells us how he’s satisfying Tony Longhurst’s need for speed with Kator, the first-of-its-kind G-Force 2000 Speciale – built with a little help from WEST SYSTEM® epoxy products.

“When Tony first called me a few years ago, it clicked right away who he was – I’d always admired him as a kid,” says Julian, owner of Noosa Marine on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. “So we had a chat about how the process goes, talked about a few designs and narrowed it down to one. Then I priced it all out and he nearly fell off his chair!” he laughs.

Three-time winner of Australia’s Bathurst 1000 touring race and a former waterskiing speed record holder, Tony Longhurst has always lived life in the fast lane. He first commissioned Julian to build his performance cruising catamaran Kato and, in May 2014, this luxurious but practical twin-hulled cat was launched on Noosa River. Built over a period of 14 months, she is a customised version of the Schionning Designs G-Force 1800. Sleek and stylish, the 18m custom-built catamaran reaches an impressive top speed of 25 knots.

Kato: A customised version of the Schionning Designs G-Force 1800

Tony and his wife spent the next 10 months cruising the north-east coast of Australia. However, a need for speed and the pursuit of perfection meant it wasn’t long before Tony started looking to build something bigger, better and – not surprisingly – faster.

Good thing, then, that Julian is responsible for some of the most impressive boats on the water. After learning his craft at Brisbane’s Norman Wright and Sons, he honed his skills at various boatyards before building his first cruising cat aged just 27. “I went on to build another five in that design,” says Julian. From there, things snowballed and, in 2008, his Noosa Marine business was born.

“Kator promises to be one of the fastest and lightest cruising multihulls on the water.”

“Kato set the benchmark,” says Julian. “Now we needed to top that.” So he and Tony worked with Kato’s original Schionning Designs designer to create a new and improved model: the first-of-its-kind G-Force 2000 Speciale. With a 19.5om waterline length, ‘Kator’ (with the added ‘r’ for ‘racing’) is the largest G-Force design ever to begin construction and, according to Schionning Designs, promises to be ‘one of the fastest and lightest cruising multihulls on the water’.

State of the art but not over the top

Clean, crisp and efficient, Kator is a refined version of Kato. The ‘floating apartment’ provides comfortable accommodation, while keeping the focus on performance. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with two full walk-in showers. The living area boasts luxurious leather sofas, plus there’s a fridge and freezer, air conditioning and all other mod cons you might expect. “This is state-of-the-art technology being put into something that’s not over the top,” says Julian.

However, cruising comfort is only half of the story. “She’s also built for speed, which all comes down to efficient design,” explains Tony. “We’re hoping she’ll weigh in at about 11 tons – that’s an impressive 7 or 8 tons lighter than our competitors.” To that end, a 15kW electric motor plus lithium batteries eliminate the need for a diesel engine, saving a vast amount of weight and providing a much ‘cleaner’ craft. What’s more, she is one of the first Schionning Designs to use panels pre-skinned with carbon fibre. “The carbon skin not only makes her lightweight – and therefore faster – but gives you the superior stiffness you need in a multihull,” explains Julian.

Of course, using carbon laminate panels is not for the frugal. Yet money is no object when you’re building the ultimate performance cat. “This certainly isn’t for your average ma and pa,” says Julian. “It’s not often you get to build a boat for a ‘speed freak’ like Tony Longhurst! No holds barred; we’re giving him the best.”

If it ain’t broke…

Julian and his team got to work in January 2016. First, they strip-planked the two curved hulls over temporary frames. Then they hand laminated these on the outside, before flipping them over and hand laminating them on the inside to form a composite sandwich.

For Julian, WEST SYSTEM® epoxy is the epoxy system of choice. “With WEST SYSTEM® epoxy products, I know exactly what I’m getting every time I order them,” he says. “They’re easy to use and have a simple mixing ratio of 5:1. When you’ve got a lot of different guys on the job mixing big batches, that’s an easy ratio to remember.”

“With WEST SYSTEM® epoxy products, I know exactly what I’m getting.”

The team uses WEST SYSTEM 105 Epoxy Resin® with WEST SYSTEM 205 Fast Hardener® . This is thickened with WEST SYSTEM 409 Microsphere Blend® and WEST SYSTEM 403 Microsphere Blend® epoxy fillers for all coving and filling, and WEST SYSTEM 410 Microlight® low-density filler for hand fairing. “This makes a very lightweight fairing powder that’s very easy to sand,” says Julian.

There’s actually not a lot of fairing involved, which helps to keep Kator’s weight right down. “Because we get our frames CNC cut and we strip plank them, we know the planks are fair. In reality, there shouldn’t be more than 2-2.5mm thickness of bog over the whole skin of the boat,” says Julian.

The great escape

At time of writing, the team was on track for an early March 2018 launch. So how is Tony intending to use Kator? “To escape the world!” laughs Julian. “Tony’s a keen kite-boarder. So he wants to take her kite boarding and get away from life’s stresses and strains.”

“When you’re on to a good thing, why change it?”

Meanwhile, there’s no time for Noosa Marine to rest on their laurels. “We’ve got a couple of boats lined up which should keep us busy for the next four years,” says Julian. So will he be using WEST SYSTEM® epoxy products? “Of course! When you’re on to a good thing, why change it?”

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Brad at Edge Marine has designed and installed the wiring and electronics in two new builds for me, x ft and x ft catamarans.

x ft Sailing Catamaran

I used Brad at Edge Marine to wire my new 60ft sailing Cat Zero. Brad's workmanship is second to none, and his work is finished to the highest level. He always returns calls and is always happy to answer queries, no matter how small. I would definitely use Brad again.

60ft Sailing Catamaran

It was a pleasure working with Brad at Edge Marine, who did the full electrical design and installation for my new build at Noosa Marine. The quality and attention to detail were flawless, and I have had many an outside contractor comment the same. My vessel undertook a fantastic voyage from Coomera, Queensland to Fremantle, Western Australia. Brad was invaluable, at times in some very remote places assisting me with guidance and information. He is always happy to help.

Geoffrey Cribb

Brad at Edge Marine did the complete wiring fit out on our Roger Hill design 14.6-meter power cat. The neatness and quality of workmanship were of the highest standard. We also found Brad a pleasure to work with. It has been 5 years since the build with virtually no issues, and when needed, we found Brad made himself available for any queries we had. We would highly recommend this company.

SPOTLIGHT: The Boat Works, Tony Longhurst

Tony Longhurst

Networkcafe.com.au was established in an effort to create a network for small- to medium-sized businesses associated with the motorsport or automotive industries that could be negatively affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ironically, one of the first members of the site was The Boat Works at Coomera on the Gold Coast, which is like a network for the marine industry itself.

While the primary focus of The Boat Works is to be the leading boatyard in Australia, the associated businesses on site virtually make it a one-stop shop for any boatie.

Customers have access to high-calibre marine businesses, whether for routine maintenance or a hull-up refit.

Services on offer include onsite Chandlery superstore, sandblasting, antifouling, repairs, refinishing works, inspection of sails and rigging, chandlery supplies, timber and teak experts, upholstery and stainless steel, shipwrights, mechanical and electrical engineers, surveyors, electronics and refrigeration, signage and graphics and boat brokerage.

Several of the individual businesses have also become members of Networkcafe.com.au themselves.

The connection with the motorsport and automotive industry is not that hard to make when you realise that two-time Bathurst 1000 winner and Australian racing legend Tony Longhurst built the facility from scratch.

The Boat Works is positioned at the gateway to the only purpose-built marine precinct in Australia with clear access to the Gold Coast Broadwater and Seaway.

This provides access to all marine service providers in a centralised marine specific precinct hub.

The facility is 51 minutes south of the Brisbane Airport and 39 minutes north of the Gold Coast Airport.

“Many southern yachties heading north to The Whitsundays make The Boat Works an annual stopover or ‘pit stop’ on their way,” said Longhurst.

“They let us take care of the maintenance and repairs while they enjoy a few days ‘R&R’ in Australia’s iconic holiday destination.

“Owners and captains can deal directly with companies, or assign a project manager to handle the entire job.”

Last year The Boat Works added major marine infrastructure with a $A100 million investment in an expansion of its 55-acre site.

The investment has delivered world-class facilities including lifts with the ability to haul out and store boats up to 300 tonnes, boosting the capacity with the Gold Coast’s largest boat lift.

The Boatyard, Marina and Superyacht facility include high bay premium Super sheds, expansive hardstand and covered hardstand options with over 115 in-water service berths with a dedicated Superyacht Basin and Catamaran specific pens.

“The team at The Boat Works are proud of the reputation for complete customer care and going the extra mile,” said Longhurst.

“Our clients love the array of complimentary services we offer like courtesy cars, barbeque facilities, laundries and ensuites.”

The Boat Works also includes the Waterfront restaurant and bar, Galley and last year added the Garage 25 car museum and Espresso Twenty5 cafe which are all open to the general public.

“We are obviously bigger than a small- or medium-sized business, but we wanted to show our support of the Networkcafe.com.au initiative by signing up straight away and encouraging all the associated business in our precinct to do the same,” said Longhurst.

“Speedcafe.com has become the bible for motorsport fans in Australia and around the world. It keeps me interested in racing because I can look at it each day and find out what is happening and know what I am reading is accurate.

“We thought Networkcafe.com.au was a tremendous gesture by the Speedcafe.com team in an environment where so many businesses are doing it tough.

“We are in a period where every little bit counts for every business and you have to keep punching away and Networkcafe.com.au is a tool that helps you do that without having to write a cheque.”

The goal of Networkcafe.com.au is for members to be doing business with each other and for the extensive Speedcafe.com readership to be considering the products and services of companies that need to survive the current economic downturn.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
