As part of their 150th anniversary celebrations, Holland America Line's flag ship Rotterdam retraced her steps and made an Eastbound transatlantic crossing 150 years to the day after the historic first voyage. After leaving New York the first port of call was our home town of Plymouth in South West England. We went along to see the amazing welcome given to guests by the Cruise Plymouth volunteers as well as taking a look of this stunning ship moored off Plymouth's historic shore line. We had an amazing 2 week baltic cruise on Rotterdam's sister ship Koningsdam pre-COVID, and you can check out our inside cabin tour video on our channel. Please subscribe for more cruise content as well as our upcoming port guide to our home town! #HollandAmerica150 #hollandamerica #rotterdam #visitplymouth

► Full test in Multihulls World N°192: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/valder-20-a-powercat-for-james-bond ► When New Zealand offshore powerboat racer Wayne Valder decided to take an interest in building a cruising powercat, the result was always going to be a (very) fast machine! “I’m used to racing my MTI catamaran at over 120 knots on the US offshore circuit, so even though I hadn’t planned anything that fast in recreational boat form, I still wanted something with reasonable performance,” Wayne tells us. His quest led him to one of the big names in high-performance leisure catamarans, Roger Hill, who designed a large 67-foot (20 m) catamaran equipped with a self-stabilizing foil system. This powercat was then built in a foam/carbon/epoxy sandwich and fitted with a powerful drivetrain (2 x 1,300 HP) to reach 45 knots. Cruising speed is between 18 knots - the speed at which the foils start to work - and 30 knots, where range is still 1,143 miles (with a 10% reserve). Particular attention has been paid to soundproofing and vibration suppression. The layout can be customized according to the Owner's wishes, as can the deck layout: the flybridge version can even accommodate a (small) helicopter, though a Sedan version also features in the catalog. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Valder Yachts Length overall: 67’7” (20.6 m) Waterline length: 56’1” (17.1 m) Beam: 22’ (6.7 m) Draft: 33” (0.83 m) Light displacement: 66,000 lbs (30 t) Max laden displacement: 88,625 lbs (40.2 t) Max. speed: 45 knots Cruising speed: 18 to 30 knots Range at 9 knots: approx. 4,000 miles Drivetrain: 2 x MAN V8 1,300 HP Fuel: 2,500 US gal (9,460 l) Water: 440 US gal (1,675 l) ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
