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.

We’re Adam and Vicki — living a nomadic life by land and sea. At sea, our sailboat Te Tāiko is home as we journey across the South Pacific, exploring remote islands, meeting incredible people, and learning from the cultures we encounter. During the South Pacific cyclone season, we trade ocean horizons for winding roads — travelling through New Zealand in our motorhome Takahē, working, exploring, and preparing for the next sailing adventure. ✨ Join us as we share real stories of slow travel, adventure, and meaningful connection — from life aboard our sailboat to life on the road. #Travel #Adventure #SailingLife #VanLife #NomadicLiving #SouthPacific #NewZealand #CulturalTravel #SlowTravel #TravelVlog We hope you enjoy it!

Ours is a life shaped by curiosity, connection, and a desire to live simply while still holding onto the professional work we love. Between remote anchorages and winding backroads, we share honest stories of what it’s really like to live, travel, and work from the road and sea. We’re not chasing perfect—we’re chasing real moments, unexpected encounters, and a slower way of being. Follow our journey: @adamandvickistravels on YouTube and Instagram.
