Check out our latest video on the channel of how and why we bought a Contest 48CS sailyacht to sail around the world. We traveled around Europe to look at older boats from Hallberg Rassy, Najad, Amel, and Contest Yachts. We visit the yard where our boat was built and take a look at the incredible craftsmanship of boatbuilding today. Come along as we hunt for the perfect boat :) Subscribe to our channel to join our adventure! #sailboat #sailing #boatlife _______________________ *LINKS:* Get in touch with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sailingadhara More About Us https://www.sailingadhara.com/about More about the boat https://www.sailingadhara.com/boat Contest Yachts: https://www.contestyachts.com Our Favorite Gear on Amazon: https://www.amazon.de/shop/sailingadhara Rent a Boat worldwide and save 5% "ADHARA5" at Checkout https://click-and-boat.pxf.io/1rR30g 15% Off on Vallon Performance Sunglasses https://glnk.io/y31nz/sailingadhara Scuba, Freediving, Snorkeling & Underwater Gear https://bit.ly/3hUzFFm

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.
