X-Yachts cumple 40 años.
On Friday the 7 of June, the 40 Years Anniversary Gold Cup takes place at the yard in Haderslev, where it all began.
Niels and Lars Jeppesen and Birger Hansen built their first X-79, which later turned out to be a winning racer recognized throughout the world, which was the foundation for a 40 years journey.
Since then, X-Yachts have built more than 6,000 boats and 60 different boat models.
125 boats, 15 nationalities and 1000 crewmembers will be presents at the start line this weekend.
It’s the second time Gold Cup will be held in Haderslev, last time was during the 20 Years anniversary in 1999.
