While anchored out in my sailboat for months at a time I sustain myself through spearfishing. And no fish is more prized to me than the Permit. A super powerful fish with a crazy fight on it! My spear was not attached to anything. So if I let go, there would go my polespear and the fish. Check out this crazy fight!

The best thing about diving into a deep shipwreck is you never know what amazing marine animals you might encounter. Suddenly you turn a corner of the shipwreck and you are face to face with a giant sea turtle. As a diver, a proper (friendly) stare down with our friend the giant Green Turtle is an amazing experience every time. I met this giant turtle on the Vandenberg shipwreck just outside of Key West, Florida. You too can experience diving with sea turtles in many places throughout the world, but numbers are decreasing. In fact 6 of the 7 sea turtle species are classified as threatened or endangered. There are many easy things you can do to help our sea turtle friends in surviving such as not using reusable plastics and not supporting the production/use of balloons which our friend mistakes for food when they end up in the oceans. If you'd like to meet a sea turtle and learn more about how you can help, join us for a dive. 👉🏽 Visit CruiseNautic.com to learn more about our dive experiences.

► 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!

Before starting the engine, always drop the engine leg/propeller to the water. While sailing, this takes half a knot down the speed if left in water
