Sometimes, often, the forecast at Rutland Water and the actual weather aren't quite the same. The Forecast was very light wind F2. The reality was a very pleasant F3 for sailing in idyllic conditions.

Genom att trycksätta vattnet med högtryckstvätten och sedan slå sönder vattendropparna ytterligare med tryckluft ökas effekten av att producera snö avsevärt. Nästa steg är att hitta en koppling som passar till högtryckstvätten (nu använder jag en koppling för tryckluft som inte blir helt tät) och bygga ihop detta till en kombinerad enhet.

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.
