Hanstaiger X1, a trimaran with the appearance of a spaceship sold in 3 copies

Large trimarans with habitable sails are rare on the market. The Palma Boat Show 2022 was the opportunity to discover a newcomer on the market, Hanstaiger, a shipyard created in 2015 whose first model, the X1, is a trimaran with a strange air of space ship.

High-end infusion and carbon construction

The Hanstaiger X1 is a limited edition trimaran that will be produced in only 3 copies. The shipyard based in Alicante, Spain, even assures that it will deconstruct the hull molds. With a length of 19.72 m, the multihull has a beam of 10 m, a displacement of 40 tons and a draft of 0.92 m thanks to its retractable centerboard. The hull is built in one piece, in infusion with a composite of vinylester, carbon fiber and Kevlar. The superstructure is made of carbon fiber and epoxy resin. If the construction method corresponds to the standards expected in high-end yachting, the design is quite striking.

Glazing in large quantities

The hulls are very high on the water and the shapes chosen for the design are angular, with sculpted surfaces. The ratio of glass to structure is also very important, as many glass surfaces are integrated into the superstructure and the roof. The result is a very bright interior.

A protected helm station

The Hanstaiger X1 is available as a sail or motor version. In the first configuration, the 245 m² sail area is modest for its size. In comparison, a Neel 65, of the same size, but lighter by about 10 tons, has 207 m² of sail area. The automated rigging is composed of a furling mast and a self-tacking jib. The sails are all electrically assisted: mainsheet, furling foceuros while hydraulic captive winches are hidden under the deck, in a sort of closed cockpit reminiscent of a fighter pilot.

This protected helm station positioned at the foot of the mast opens in good weather and provides protection in rough seas. It is the same on both versions. Three touch screens allow to manage all the navigation elements, on which are retransmitted the images captured by the 12 cameras installed on the trimaran. The shipyard assures that such an arrangement of the helm station allows to sail solo on the sailing version. This is reminiscent of the increasingly protected cockpits built into the heart of ocean racing boats.

A large flybridge

The upper deck has two wide gangways for moving around the boat. The large central flybridge of 50 m2 is equipped with sun loungers, sofas, an individual glass spa, a barbecue area and a central table for 10 people.

Sail or motor version

The sail version receives 2 Volvo D4-300 engines and the engine version 2 Volvo IPS 500, with a maximum option of 900 hp. The announced speeds are 20 knots under sail and 30 knots for the engine version.

Navigate independently

Approved in category A, the Hanstaiger X1 offers an autonomy of 600 miles (under engine) thanks to large fuel tanks: 1,600 L for the sail version, 7,000 L for the engine version. 1,200 L of water tanks and a 280 L/h watermaker ensure the water autonomy. Finally, solar panels integrated into the superstructure and a 50 kWh battery pack allow the boat to operate for several hours without using the generator.

80% of the interior space positioned on the main deck

The interior living space is 152 m2 (including a 72 m2 salon), the exterior is 77 m2, including a central flybridge of 35 m2 and a large extendable beach club of 25 m2. A design element that we are more used to seeing on large motor superyachts.

The headroom is impressive - between 2.3 and 3.2 meters - and 80% of the living space is on the main deck. All windows are "intelligent" and can be adapted to the owner's wishes: protection against heat, privacy

On either side of the central staircase are a fully equipped kitchen with ice maker and wine cellar and a cozy living room with large screen TV. The owner's cabin is spread over several levels. There is a 2x1.7 m bed on the bow and a desk on the stern, a bathroom with two sinks, a dressing table and a shower/hydromassage sauna. On the lower level, there is a large dressing room and an independent bathroom.
