Recently late in the afternoon, the X56 was launched for the very first time! It was a tremendously glorious sight to see the new beauty hit the water!

After rigging, in-water tests and adjustments of technical installations a thorough series of sea trials will be conducted under close supervision of the design & engineering team.

"We feel convinced that the X56 will live fully up to our expectations, but realistically and historically there will always be minor adjustments with a new model, first of its kind in the Pure X Range, and we are eager to find all mistakes and points of improvement now, in order to have the corrections implemented as early as possible", Thomas Mielec, Director of Design & Engineering, explains.

And he elaborates: "After the sea trials she will go back to the assembly hall for final fitout of interiors etc. to be ready for the X56 world premiere in our show rooms in Haderslev"
