► In Cape Town, where the largest production center of sailmaker Ullman Sails is now located, we discovered not just one sail-loft floor, but five or six! However, the story didn't begin in South Africa: it was in Newport Beach, California, that David Ullman, at the time aged just 21, built his first sail loft. The year was 1967. 12 years later, a second site was opened in Dallas, and growth continued throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Today, Ullman Sails is represented in 25 countries and has 75 sites. The largest of these is in Cape Town, South Africa, and this is the one we got to visit. There is a staff of 120, and sails of all materials are made here. There's one workshop dedicated to the manufacture of FiberParth membranes. It's also on these floors that the sails for the Leopard range - and many other catamarans built in South Africa - are made. Over the past 30 years, more than 100,000 sails have been produced here! The sailmaker is also diversifying its activities with a clothing range, Six Seven by Ullman. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

► X5 PLUS - Ready to take you... wherever you want to go ► Derived directly from the X5, the Plus retains an unconventional silhouette that may dissuade some from going beyond appearances... but that would be a shame: those frightened off would be missing out on a beautiful cruising machine with intelligent specifications. This new model benefits from the experience gained during 6 years of the X5: the bows have been modified, the displacement is lighter by two tons, the sail plan has increased in area and the equipment is even more complete. The X5 Plus is perfectly suited to the cruising families that have chosen it. Rigorous design by a team of experienced sailors (the seas off South Africa are an excellent learning environment), meticulous construction, exemplary deck plan, abundant and perfectly functional equipment, remarkable overall quality of execution, tempered glass skylights: these are the strong points of this catamaran that deserves to be recognized. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Xquisite Yachts Naval architect: Rudolf Jonker Length: 50’8” (15.44 m) Beam: 26’3” (8 m) Draft: 4’5” (1.35 m) Displacement: 36,375 lbs (16.5 t) Mainsail: 1,130 sq ft (105 m²) Jib: 420 sq ft (39 m²) Genoa: 700 sq ft (65 m²) Gennaker: 1,400 sq ft (130 m²) Engines: 2 x 80 HP ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
