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.

The constrictor knot is one of the most effective binding knots.[Simple and secure, it is a harsh knot that can be difficult or impossible to untie once tightened. For a full how to video follow the link below :- It is made similarly to a clove hitch but with one end passed under the other, forming an overhand knot under a riding turn. The constrictor knot can be used to secure your rope to any object or can even be attached to another length of rope. Many say that the use cases for the constrictor knot are only limited by your imagination.

The New Bali 7.0 blurs the line between a luxury villa and a sailing yacht: a loft on the sea. The Catana Group have built longer yachts (the Catana 90), but none of them have looked like this. ▫️ The saloon opens fully from the stern, via the famous Bali door, to the bow. ▫️ Impressive volumes flooded with natural light and high-end materials create a unique yacht: the new Bali flagship. What do you think? ▫️ Can you see yourself on a 2 week vacation on the 7.0? ▫️ #multihulls #ocean #penthouse @BaliCatamarans
