Thank you for the review Toby.
That spray dodger is slick af
that is a beauty - only things you need is a water maker and barbecue and your set for circumnavigation
Nice job Toby. With spring just around the corner I hope to see many more. I'm retiring as a Tugboat Captain for 30+ years in NY Harbor and some keen investments over the years will put me in one of these beautiful boats soon. Looking forward to that.
Bet you've got some stories to tell Keith! Best of luck
Beautiful boat. As always interesting and informative. Thanks!
So, uh, news flash... Matching wind speed in light air on a reach is pretty standard these days.
Is a stairlift in the companionway an option to complement the assisted fridge top?
Beautiful boat. That electric fridge door seems absurdly useless though. Another part to fail, takes up space within the fridge, and takes 10x longer to open than just grabbing a handle.
Exactly, never waste time fixing a problem that doesn't exist
@@attonicuc44 Yeah, it does seem like an answer to a question nobody was asking. Party trick, but worthless otherwise in terms of everyday usability
I think you are being harsh. This is the owner's 10th X-yacht so I expect they are highly experienced and know what they need. There may be a mobility or strength issue with one of the owners that necessitates such a thing, or something else. But, this is the internet, and judgement is everywhere...
Let’s see it go 20 knots
Nice job, Toby. As someone who has never sailed on a vessel with lines led aft concealed under the coachroof what happens when a line is accidentally pulled through without a mouse attached? Is each fed through individual 'electrical conjute' so you could feed fresh line through it or do you have to 'dig up the dexk'?
I’m thinking similarly - Personally I prefer the practicality of non- concealed lines, since I can replace a broken one quickly and without any hustle. Admittedly I don’t know how easy or hard it is to pull a new line on such boat (my boat doesn’t have concealed lines, and I’m dreading the day a halyard breaks and I need to thread it through the mast 😳.)
But the optics of the flush deck is appealing …
fish tape or push pull rods, you'd never need to dig up a deck
Ball of cotton wool fluff + very light nylon fishing line + decent vacuum cleaner with plenty of suck. Goes through faster than you can sneeze. But, yes! Digging the deck also works.
@@NikNiks1 Thanks mate ... I also thought 'A first mate that could suck a golf ball through a garden hose' ... I'm still looking 🤓🇦🇺
impressive, half the price of a swan that size and does seem to be of the same caliber.
Marina minded galey. Do people sail their yachts these days or paying for transit? (I believe that you will improve your audio with a wireless microphone.)
Lol, he did say the owners will the ARC next year.
Absolutely agree.
Your opinion about furling boom ?
$1m boat seems super basic...except for that automatic/electric freezer door. lol.
You can tell Toby wasnt feeling it. Then again, when its the base model, what are you going to point out that's exceptional?!
*to credit the of the 11 time X-Yacht owner - im sure they just took delivery of the boat and will be adding all the other necessary features in later. Then again, where do you go after "electric freezer door"?!
lol
I like many things but that electric fridge opener is a joke and a waste of time and space.
It would get annoying real fast waiting for that fridge
"Danish Design"
Dream boat.
I'm more in the Rapido 60, Bañuls 53 tri or imaginary ~53-60 feet custom full carbon Dragonfly category...
Beautiful boat
But that electric fridge door are somehow funny :)
Ikea interior!..
Nice, open living, galley area. But the powered freezer lid seems like a waste of valuable space and power..
I'm sorry,but that super slow fridge door seems a bit annoying,,,
Absolutely one of the most elegant and well crafted cruisers in the world 🌎
sprayhood and bimini design strengthen the sporty look. nice
No no. You dont open a door for trash. Just make a hole. And ventilat with a fan. Plus sort and compost. Plastic grinder. 😄
Pretty, but I’ll stick with my slow, pretty Hinckley Sou’Wester 59.
970.000 Euros as a "start from" price? If I paid that amount, I would feel like I am paying for Danish manufacturing inefficiencies or subsidizing somebody's jigalo/mistress in Denmark. At that price range, why not go for a Contest yacht with its solid Dutch boat building behind?
The X-Yachts are class and above the riff-raff sailboats. As you can see the elegant X-Yacht sailboat is caring a Norwegian sails for good reason.
@@kenhart8771 do you really call Contest yacht a "riff-raff" boat?
@@kenhart8771 What is the good reason for carrying the Norwegian flag, apart from being registered in Norway?
I can already hear the 'zero protection, not a real sailors boat, fine for the med etc etc' comments incomming
I thought a real sailor can handle nature beating it's load on your face .
That price! She better be quick... shame with all these low wind reviews.
Was hoping on some comments about performance, that's what I find attractive about X Yachts.
Nice boats. They are built to a standard well above the usual pop outs that dominate the scene, which is why they are more expensive. It is a pity you did not detail that as opposed to your usual routine details on the interior design and decoration. Did you ever consider becoming an owner's wife sales consultant?
Another great video Toby but we half expected you to close with one of your 'cheesy' tags like 'X hits the spot' or something. Oh well. Cheers __/))
Think I may have done that one in the past... must be getting old!
All due respect, I would never spend my one penny on a product from Denmark nowadays. Denmark is going through a strange period. One after another. Like committing human rights violations by stripping the refugees of their valuables. Letting USA's NSA spy on fellow European politicians (Merkel etc) by tapping on the communications cables. Any penny on Danish products is the support of such acts.
interesting comment for an euphoria fanboy. You wouldn’t spend a penny in Denmark, but you would in Turkey? Yeah, that makes sense 😂
Completely agree. I used to have a high opinion of Denmark from 80s. They trashed all their reputation. Even my Bang & Olufsen that I paid a fortune in 1988 does look ugly nowadays....
@@michaelg7637 I see you created your account in late January 2022.
@@MBrln-no8vd yeah bought my first iPhone 2 months ago
@@michaelg7637 Well, Turkey has accepted more then 4 million refugees from Syria alone. What did Denmark do? Sent their navy boats to the Aegean sea for illegal pushbacks of refugees as a part of the corrupt renegade Frontex border police of EU. And Turkey is much poorer than Denmark. Yet Turks did not steal the valuables of refugees like those shameless Danes. It reminds me of what Nazis did in WWII. Real shame.
Like most people, I find this fridge opening system to be ridiculous. I wish we could have heard more about how the boat feels even in light wind and see how the grane works for the dinghy. Not impressed from this video at all. It did not teach me anything new about this boat.
Hmmm... -- QUESTION -- Why do you always hide your review with almost "no wind" when reviewing a new sailboat. Getting tired of the excuses. Next time, we want a proper wind and a proper review in those types of conditions. You are obviously picking review dates on days when there is little or no wind.
