Can't forget Malcolm...
The Highlander was built at the De Vries Lynch shipyard in Holland and has proven her seaworthiness on voyages across both the Pacific and the Atlantic, through the Great Lakes and up the Amazon. Still, the waters she knows best are those of her home port - Manhattan.
Designed by the late Jon Bannenberg with assistance from naval architect Fritz de Voogt, Highlander V is 151 feet long, 29 feet 3 inches at the beam with a draft of 9 feet 9 inches. Capable of worldwide sailing, the ship is powered by twin G.M. 16V149 diesels. The 1,800 horsepower these diesels deliver gives The Highlander an average cruising speed of 13.7 knots with a top speed of 14.3 knots. The ship has a water capacity of 5,300 gallons. Its fuel capacity is 19,700 gallons, providing The Highlander with a cruising range of over 4,000 nautical miles.
On board are a Bell Jet Ranger III helicopter, two tenders a 19-foot Cigarette and a 23-foot Donzi - and two BMW motorcycles... all greeen ofcourse!
