The double stepped hull and wave piercing bow ensure a comfortable and dry ride through the Haulover inlet. Where other powercats burry their bow and scoop up water, the HammerCat eats the chop for lunch! # haulover #centerconsole #outboards #miamiboats #florida #waves #powercat #freemanboats #invincibleboats #worldcat

Mon Tiki got her US Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection (COI) last Friday. To celebrate we got a ukulele. Hopefully this is the first of many musical evenings on board Mon Tiki!

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.
