The 2025 skydiving season is officially here! Join us for dropzone opening week as we kick things off with Safety Day, gear checks, refresher training, and—of course—plenty of skydives! From hop and pops to high-altitude jumps, it's time to shake off the rust and get back in the sky. Whether you're a licensed skydiver, AFF student, or just love all things skydiving, this video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at life at the DZ as the season begins. We cover everything from canopy flight, gear checks, and emergency procedures to the pure stoke of jumping with friends again. You'll see skydiving formations, freeflying, belly jumps, and maybe even a little tracking and angle flying. Plus, stick around for a look at the aircraft we jump from—whether it's a Cessna 182, Caravan, or Twin Otter, aviation is at the heart of everything we do. If you're into general aviation, parachutes, pilots, or the wild world of human flight, you're in the right place. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more content on skydiving, flying, and life at the dropzone! ✈️🪂 #skydiving #aviation #dropzone #parachuting #pilotlife #jumpseason #safetyday #flight #canopy #extremesports #AFF #funjump #generalaviation #DZlife

All yachts hide their secrets. On the outside we see the hull reflecting the water, gleaming brightwork, clean deck lines and seas of sail. Underneath is a complex story, based on advanced design and structural engineering, and in the centre of every X-Yacht built since 1981, a heart of steel. Walking around the X-Yachts facilities in Haderslev, an ancient and pretty town in southern Denmark, you'll walk into one of the service yard buildings to find a yacht hanging there. No cradle, no supports, no slings, with the keel floating a couple of centimetres off the ground. Tons of yacht seemingly defying gravity. The answer comes back to the steel frame, and the single-point lift which is integral to it. The yacht is perfectly balanced, so hoisting yachts out of the water only requires this attachment point to suspend an X-Yacht from the building's ceiling crane. From the point of view of service this makes things much cleaner. No working around the cradle pads, no having to move the slings to remove antifoul. The hull is completely clear to work on, and keeping the fleet of X-Yachts in top condition is a major part of what the team in Haderslev do. Owners are rightly proud of their X-Yacht and want them looking and performing at their best, year after year.
