sailors
share a sense of adventure – a passion for exploring
new
waters, challenging themselves against the elements and enjoying
new
experiences. owning an x-yacht is an opportunity to satisfy that appetite for
new
horizons, and in this edition of x-yachting we have inspiring stories from
sailors
young and old who have set off on memorable voyages in their x-yachts. we also have a calendar of events all around the world to tempt any x-yacht owner to to travel to
new
destinations – our famous gold cup returns in 2013 to copenhagen, where we are looking forward to welcome as many of our clients and their friends as possible. to enjoy each
new
adventure, most of us need to feel secure. x-yachts’ unrivalled reputation for safety has its roots in a deep respect for the sea, which we each gained from sailing with our parents from an early age. our xc models and the xp yachts are made from full sandwich construction, which offers the very strongest build technology. it also gives unrivalled comfort by reducing both the sound of passing water over the hull as well as improving the ‘climate’ on board by minimising condensation and stabilising the temperature. designing and building x-yachts is a lifelong passion for us. each member of the team strives to expand our ideas, and to challenge ourselves to set a higher market standard every time we launch a
new
model or range. but we also need security and a strong footing from which we can produce innovative
new
designs. x-yachts has a solid and strong market position thanks to the loyalty of our client base, the quality of our product, and the appeal of our designs,
new
and old. we are very pleased to have further bolstered our financial strength and security with the
new
majority stakeholder of consolidated holdings a/s, and we welcome aboard ib kunøe as the
new
chairman of the supervisory board of x-yachts. not only successful in business, ib kunøe was one of the most successful danish offshore
sailors
, and throughout the 1980s won a number of prestigious offshore races such as sweden’s around gotland race in 1983 and the around sealand race – at the time the biggest race in the world with more than 2,200 participants! future present this year also sees x-yachts go back to our roots with the xp 33, a fast, fun performance design. tiller steering, a modular
interior
and a retractable carbon bowsprit mean this
new
design will be a true ‘pocket rocket’ offering great fun straight off the dock, as well as comfortable overnight accommodation. at the other end of the scale we are also offering the largest yacht in the xperformance range, the
new
xp 50. we’re really excited to push the boundaries of what a performance cruiser can offer with this yacht’s practical, lightweight
interior
. with the comfortable
interior
partially crafted in vacuum infused composite and integrated into the yacht’s internal structure it enables great weight savings, which in turn allows us to add so much weight to the keel she feels truly safe, and very quick. for adventurous yacht owners, the future has just arrived. sense of adventure
