Launching the first X40E yacht in the southern hemisphere

by X-Yachts New Zealand 17 Sep 06:42 UTC

The second X-Yachts X40E ever launched was splashed at ORAM's boatyard, Auckland NZ in August this year. The Auckland based owner is an avid sailor and ORAM's were contracted to commission the yacht following her being shipped from Denmark.

This X40E is fully kitted out with water maker, heater, Norths 3Di Sails and a powerful Oceanvolt motor that regenerates power once it hits 6 knots. This Yacht is part of X-Yachts commitment to sustainability - the Oceanvolt e-motor is now requested by 30% of new boat owners.

This is an exciting alternative to fossil fuel engines and the perfect sustainable, powerful and luxurious yacht option for the owner to cruise in the Auckland area and the Bay of Islands.

This is the first of two new X-Yachts destined for NZ - the second is due in September, stand by for news of its arrival.
