Making her premiere at Annapolis, the big sistership of the X5 Plus adopts a relatively conventional design - the big arch around the cockpit is now more gone.
At the show, we went on board, followed by a test sail that we’ll be reporting on very soon in Multihulls World, and the care taken with the overall ergonomics and the finish is clear to see. The name Solar reflects the manufacturer's desire to limit fossil fuel consumption by offering an impressive surface area of solar panels. Some neat touches will improve life when cruising, such as the forward sunbathing area that’s well protected between the coachroof uprights, the aft platform equipped with a carbon mini-crane and the large holds, and lockers ready to store all your nautical equipment. The helm and maneuvering station is elegantly protected by a hard-top, not to mention the rigid handrail that surrounds the entire deck. A semi-custom finish is offered by the manufacturer.
