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.

Methana is a peninsula in the Saronic Gulf and is famous for it’s volcano and Thermal springs. We visited both and we loved also the charming village of Vathi were a small harbor felt very welcoming to us. Next to the fishing boats, we were the only sailing boat on the quay and after making it through the small entrance, we had a quiet stay in this beautiful scenery. Enjoy the drone flight we took over the harbor with the stunning mountains in the background.

The SideKick Ama kit provides added stability when you need it. Great for use when sailing, sight fishing, diving or shooting photos! The SideKick Ama kit is lightweight, effective and installs in a jiff. The floats inflate with just several breathes of air, and deflate rapidly by unscrewing the valve cap. Position the floats at three different height settings using our “twist-and-click” adjustability feature. Position the floats in the high setting for secondary stability and less drag while cruising, and use the mid and low settings for less initial roll. Set up and use the SideKick Ama kit right off the beach, or disassemble and deflate the kit to be stowed away and used once you reach your fishing or dive location. *Not for use on Pro Angler models.
