Phantom F2 carbon ski race boat makes international debut

Innovative full-carbon race craft built by DEMEY Yachts heads to world stage.

Written by

The groundbreaking Phantom F2 carbon ski race boat, built by renowned performance boat builder DEMEY Yachts, has made its first international export, heading to the United Kingdom earlier this year.

The green 81 hull purchased by Damian Hopkins, a well-known name in the British waterski racing community, is set to compete in the 2025 World Waterski Racing Championships in Belgium, where it will tow his son, Sam Hopkins.

The results speak for themselves — Sam Hopkins has won every race he’s entered so far behind the Phantom F2, proving both his talent and the boat’s elite performance credentials. “We’re proud to see the Phantom F2 making waves internationally after strong success in New Zealand, including an outright win in the 100 Miler, F2 class victory at the National Championships as well as the Oceania Championships held in NZ this year” said Nic de Mey “They are built to win and win well, Sam and Damian are doing just that.”
