► 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!

The Joy of Sailing with the Wind There's a reason why sailing has captured imaginations for centuries. It's more than just gliding across water; it's a harmonious dance with the wind, a feeling of freedom like nothing else. Here in Croatia, the Adriatic Sea becomes a stage for this exhilarating experience, where the wind becomes your silent partner, propelling you towards unforgettable adventures. Feeling the Freedom: When the Wind Takes Over Imagine this: you're on the deck of a sailboat, the sun warm on your skin. The engine purrs to a quiet stop, replaced by the gentle whoosh of the wind filling the sails. Suddenly, the boat picks up speed, heeling slightly as it slices through the water with newfound life. You're no longer a passenger; you're part of a living system, working with the wind to explore hidden coves and secluded beaches. More Than Speed: The Symphony of Wind and Sail The joy of sailing with the wind goes beyond mere speed. It's a symphony of senses. You feel the pull of the wind on the sails, hear its rhythmic whisper, and smell the salty air tinged with the scent of pines and distant islands. It's a meditative state, where the worries of everyday life drift away as you focus on the dance between boat, wind, and sea. Mastering the Art: From Beginner to Wind Whisperer The best part? You don't need years of experience to enjoy sailing with the wind. Croatia offers a variety of options, from beginner-friendly day trips to courses that teach you the basics of sail handling. As you learn, the satisfaction grows. You start to understand the subtle shifts in wind direction, adjust the sails accordingly, and feel the boat respond, turning you into a true wind whisperer. Beyond the Practical: The Emotional Connection with the Wind Sailing with the wind isn't just about the destination; it's about the journey. It fosters a deep connection with nature, a sense of awe at the power and beauty of the wind. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most exhilarating adventures come from harnessing the forces around us, rather than fighting against them. Setting Sail for Adventure: Your Croatian Wind-Powered Journey So, the next time you're in Croatia, ditch the landlubber activities and set sail. Let the wind be your guide, explore hidden coves, and experience the joy of a truly unique adventure. The Adriatic awaits, its turquoise waters and gentle breezes promising an experience that will stay with you long after you return to shore.
