A brand-new Xc 47 under the Canadian flag

Welcome aboard Tapestry1!
Jessica Peters and Gary Jaques from Calgary, Canada, have taken delivery of their brand-new Xc 47 at the X-Yachts yard in Haderslev, Denmark. After four days of technical handover, they set out on their very first adventure with sea trials in the beautiful waters of southern Denmark.
After two days of sailing, their smiles said it all. Cruising through stunning scenery — from lush green coastlines and sheltered fjords to open waters — they also enjoyed a culinary stop at one of Denmark's iconic seaside hotels.
"This is a very special day for us," says Gary Jaques. "Realising a dream like this comes with a lot of emotion for both Jessica and me. We had high expectations — after all, it's an X-Yacht — but this boat has truly exceeded them. Not only in terms of performance on the water, but also as a safe, stylish home where we'll be living for the next three to four months during our Scandinavian adventure."
Their journey now continues north towards Norway before returning via the breathtaking Swedish west coast archipelago later this year. The boat will then be hauled out in Denmark for winter storage, before new adventures begin again next season. Fair winds and unforgettable moments ahead.
