Build And Structure

The hull of the vessel as well as the main deck, upper deck and bulkheads are constructed using the vacuum infusion technique.

The construction of the hull with reinforcements is infused in a single piece to reach a better interlaminar adhesion, greater structural strength and a reduction in weight.

The manufacture of the superstructure improves this process by achieving a structure made 100% of carbon fibre and epoxy resin, in a single vacuum infusion with the same reinforcement procedure. The scantling of the X1 is composed only of quadraxial and unidirectional fabrics, excluding the mat type fibres from the scheme. PVC core is used both in reinforcements and in the hull. A high temperature core resistant is used in areas of direct sunlight.

The construction is completed with a vinylester resin for wetting 100% of the fibres in the hull and an epoxy resin for the upper deck, bulkheads and the rest of the boat.

All structural calculations are based on Lloyd's Register of Shipping regulations.

The hull of the X1 is also coated with an ISO-NPG gel coat of RAL 7016 similar to the colour of the final finish.

The boat has a complete painted scheme in AWL GRIP.

- The X1 comes as standard with either 2 x VOLVO PENTA D4 300 HP engines (sailboat version)) or IPS 500 (motorboat version).

- Higher power engines up to IPS 900 can be installed.

- Two lines of conventional shafts with ceramic seal refrigerated by water.

- TEIGNBRIDGE adjustable pitch propellers made of aluminium and bronze.

The propellers provide the X1 with optimum performance with reduced noise, minimal vibrations and greater fuel savings, when compared to other propellers on the market. There is also a controllable pitch system to adapt to sailing or motoring.

- Integrated VOLVO PENTA glass cockpit system, with two touch screens on the bridge that simplifies the navigation system, as well as integrating all information in one place.

- The compartments of the main engine are equipped with forced ventilation as well as thermo-acoustic insulation.

Rigging (sailboat Version)

The main rigging consists of two parts:

- Furling mast

- Self-tacking jib

Both sails are assisted by an electronic system that will manage the BAMAR captive winches as well as the mainsail furling sheet, jib furling and mainsheets

- The configuration of rigging is designed with the premise that the boat can be crewed with only one person and from the bridge.

- The SPARCRAFT furling mast, is made of aluminium and finished in glossy black.

Deck Equipment

The LEWMAR electric windlass in stainless steel is located in the central hull at the bow of the boat, with 14 mm chain and remote control.

- Mooring and towing lines suitable for X1’s navigation category.

- Installation of a captive anchor constructed of 316 stainless steel.

- Recessed cleats.

Equipment / Hardware

In addition to the features mentioned above, the X1 is equipped with the following:

- HP desalination plant with a capacity to manufacture drinking water of 260 litres per hour with an automatic pressure regulation system and maintenance system for cleaning membranes.

- Pressure tank of 316 stainless steel with capacity of 50 l/min.

- Diesel heater for centralised heating system and hot water.

- The latest generation in high comfort chiller type air conditioners for a smooth and silent operation (WEBASTO 120,000 Btu).

- Complete diving equipment with diving compressor.

- Assistant Zodiac Williams in the garage.

- Long-range night vision cameras.

- Radar and Inmarsat.

- Smart home and music system throughout the boat.

Electrical System

The X1 has an innovative and efficient power system from WHISPER POWER "Hybrid System” installed, custom designed for the X1.

- Two converter 8.6 kw generators.

- Two Power Cube inverters (7.5 kw and 14 kw).

- Four high-power universal chargers of 150 Ah, achieving a battery-charging time of only 3.5 hours.

- The battery bank is composed of 24 Lithium units of 160 Ah each 12 v, giving a total power of 50 kw.

- 2 kw of capacity in integrated solar panels on the upper deck.

With the exception of the owner's cabin, the main deck is on a single level, running the length of the boat and is distributed across three areas:

- Owner´s cabin

- Two VIP cabins & Two crew cabins

- 72 m2 large open space with living room and kitchen.

The owner´s cabin is divided into three levels:

- The higher level has a 1.7 m wide x 2 m long central bed at the bow, side corridors and an aft office.

- In the middle level there is a bathroom with dual sinks, a dressing table, a hydromassage cabin and sauna.

- From this bridge the captain manages 100% of the navigation through the three-screen glass cockpit, together with the automation system of the sails and orbital manoeuvring cameras.

- The bridge has a mobile glass dome for access to the interior, as well as an automatic system for the seats of the captain and guests.

Interior / Exterior Finishes

All the interiors have an extremely high level of luxury finish with top quality materials, LED ambient lighting, Hi-Fi equipment, LED televisions in all rooms, air conditioning and heating managed with an integral home automation system.

The X1 utilises a combination of finishes for the exterior:

- Anthracite finish of AWL GRIP.

- Small areas in Carbon look by ANGELONI.

- Bows reinforced with carbon fibre containing titanium filaments, also from ANGELONI.

The spacious main deck Located on a single level is approximately 80% of all living area.

Hanstaiger X1 – a Futuristic Newcomer

Hanstaiger X1 - Aeroyacht

We at Aeroyacht always liked bold new approaches to cruising multihull design. The Hanstaiger X1, as recently seen at the Palma Yacht Show, exhibits all the traits of a forward thinking cruising boat. Built from carbon fibre and cloaked in black the boat is based on a proven sailing trimaran platform.

When visiting this very first boat from the Spanish yard, we felt she would benefit from hulls that are twice as long and a more suitable sailing rig. However the layout and many innovative ideas of this prototype showed future potential.

The 75′ Hanstaiger X1 catamaran can be chartered in Ibiza. Contact us for more information.

Is this the boat Batman would sail?

Yachting World

  • September 28, 2021

Sam Fortescue speaks to the owner of the unique and stunning Hanstaiger X1, almost certainly the world’s most radical cruising trimaran inside and out. Only three of these unique designs will ever be built

catamaran x1

Imagine a boat that combines the aggressive loom of a Lamborghini with the controls of a fighter jet. Pop a rig on top, open the transom like the cargo door of a Chinook – oh, and bung a grand piano in one corner of the saloon. This, with a bit more glass, ferocious styling and creature comforts galore, is the new Hanstaiger X1 – a trimaran so beautiful and strange that it has to be the brainchild of an eccentric. The Hanstaiger X1 truly is like nothing else afloat.

The individual behind it is John Ordovas, who created a small shipyard in southern Spain. His vision was for a cruising yacht that tore up convention and offered a vast single-level living space, architectural finish, a gigantic beach club and easy performance.

The result is a trimaran where some 85% of the interior space is on the same level, resembling a generous urban loft apartment. The cabins and heads in the side hulls, plus the master cabin occupying the forward half of the central hull, all connect without steps to the main saloon.

catamaran x1

This was one of the reasons Ordovas chose to build a trimaran, rather than a catamaran. “The problem with catamarans is you go into the side hulls and it ends up being something of a rabbit hole with tight corners,” he explains.

It is a brave design, because all that interior space comes from extending the superstructure to the very stern of the boat. “There were some risky elements to this,” he admits. “We were removing the deck space and the cockpit. But in a way, the opening at the back becomes the exterior of the boat as the hydraulic doors become a beach club. It’s one of the design features I’m most proud of.”

Instead, the helm has been moved to the top of a broad staircase (I hesitate to use a term as traditional as ‘companionway’), where an entirely glass-lined bridge amidships gives all-round visibility.

catamaran x1

Cockpit is absolutely the right term here, with its huge high-backed sports seats and natty little automotive steering wheels. “My father and grandfather were fighter pilots, and I’m also a pilot,” explains Ordovas. “I was always trying to inspire the architects to think of a fighter pilot cockpit – that’s why there’s a glass canopy that comes up from the helm station.”

Cockpit wings

The canopy can be opened up via wings at the side if you want extra ventilation, or that whoop-as-you-go feeling. It also lets you clamber out onto the coachroof, where a teak-lined footway bordered with an elegant stainless-steel balustrade guides you safely down to the bows.

It’s an important safety feature, but Ordovas strove to make it a largely unnecessary trip. “The boat’s been designed so there’s not much reason to go to the bow. We have captive winches for the sails, and there’s a push-button system for sheeting in, raising sail etc, so everything is electronics-based. That’s also why the deck of the boat is quite clean – we don’t have many ropes flying about.”

While this is avowedly not a boat for a purist sailor who likes the feedback from helm and sheets – Ordovas himself says as much – performance was still a key part of the brief.

In the first sea trials off Alicante, where the yard is based, heavy conditions saw the boat make an easy 15 knots under main and jib alone. “The sails for me were more from a practical perspective – something environmentally friendly that can get you from A to B in comfort and safety. Sailing in this boat is great fun, it’s pleasurable that you can adjust the sails at the touch of a button.”

The X1 has a lifting centreboard to keep her pointing well, and the lay-up is in a mixture of foam-cored carbon and glass for the hull, with full carbon for the superstructure. It keeps weight to a minimum, but the design is not light at 40 tonnes of displacement.

catamaran x1

There is no current allowance for a large downwind sail for tradewind sailing, but there’s nothing in the design of the boat that prevents that from happening, says Ordovas.

He is also tinkering with something he calls a ‘dynamic stabilisation system’: a pair of ailerons fixed between the outer and the central hulls and linked to a gyroscope. Operating like the flaps on a plane’s wing, the system is being designed from scratch to eliminate the already modest roll that the trimaran experiences. “My wife does get a bit seasick ,” says Ordovas, almost apologetically. “I’m keen to push the boat as much as I can in terms of extreme design.”

In a way, to focus on the sailing characteristics of the X1 is like reviewing the sound system in a Lamborghini. It’s the accommodation on this boat that takes your breath away, as well as the audacious reimagining of living spaces, which is a thousand miles away from the standard saloon-cockpit combo.

With its 70m2 floor space, the saloon is huge, with 3m of headroom to match. The ‘galley’ more closely resembles an open-plan designer kitchen, with an eight-person dining table and sophisticated freestanding Italian furniture. A huge, swivelling LCD screen folds down from the ceiling.

catamaran x1

But the star feature is the way the whole transom lowers down in three large panels to create a 27m2 ‘beach club’ lounging area. Teak decked, there are clever sunloungers built into the huge hinged aft doors.

This, together with the gull-wing style opening windows in the topsides, means that the whole saloon is effectively transformed into outdoor space at the touch of a hydraulic control.

“This way, we avoid the replication of spaces that you see on other boats: two sofas, two dining tables and so on,” says Ordovas.

Structurally, the design relies on a massive 120kg carbon fibre beam that runs from quarter to quarter and transfers the loads from the deck above and the flexing outer hulls into the main hull.

catamaran x1

Hydraulically-controlled aft doors allow the saloon to open out onto the transom. Photo: hanstaiger.com

Further strength and stiffness is provided throughout the superstructure by a lattice of carbon fibre members.

And though you might lose that traditional cockpit connection to the sea around you, much of it is returned via the flybridge lounging area. There is seating galore up here, a barbecue, fridge and even a glass-walled jacuzzi (yes, really) that you fill from the boat’s 1,200lt freshwater tank, with help from the high-output 260lt/hr watermaker. Hot water comes from an on-demand diesel heater system.

The master cabin is on three half levels, with a double bed at saloon level, then steps down to sofas in the point of the bow. The heads are down a few more steps, tucked under the bed. Also at this level, further aft, is a laundry and nanny’s room. A further two cabins offer a guest double and a twin with reclining beds. “Like a first-class cabin on a plane,” says Ordovas.

Widening the net

All this luxury requires power, of course – a lot of it. There are a token 2-3kW of solar panels built into the hull, and the option for a pair of wind turbines, although hull number one won’t have these.

catamaran x1

The X1 has taken 2,000 hours of design work (and counting). Photo: hanstaiger.com

There’s a 50kW lithium-ion battery bank for silent overnighting, and it all requires two 8.6kW gensets alongside the twin 165kW Volvo Pentas to keep it going. I ask Ordovas about using regenerating props, but it’s not something he’s thought about. Electric propulsion is another story, however.

“We considered it very carefully. I was initially keen, but the truth is that, at least at the moment, I don’t think the technology is there.”

As is often the case with original yacht designs, the X1 project was borne out of frustration with what the multihull market already offered. “This was five years ago, and the truth was, I didn’t find anything particularly exciting in the mid-sized yachts,” says Ordovas.

catamaran x1

The design allows for a sauna and hydromassage cabin, but Ordovas has diverted this space into wardrobes for stowage. Photo: hanstaiger.com

So instead of hunting round for the best compromise, Ordovas, who has set up international schools all over the world, decided to run a design competition to provoke some new thinking. “The underlying point for me was, if we’re going to do this, let’s do something different, exciting and fun. I didn’t want to do something that looked like all the other yachts, otherwise I might as well just buy one!”

There was a surprising response to his advertisement on freelancer.com , and he was able to browse for the most interesting designs. Work from Spanish naval architects Antonio Claro and Nerea Perez caught his eye. “I spent two years working with them as a kind of hobby, initially, to see if we could develop a design and then if I was brave enough to go ahead and build it.”

Radical difference

By then it was 2017, and Ordovas commissioned Spanish yard Flash Catamaran to build it. In what lesser souls might have seen as a warning from the gods, Flash went bust a few months into the project. After long consideration he decided there was little point in taking the risk with a third party. “So, we set up our own shipyard and started hiring people,” he says.

catamaran x1

The open plan galley, floating ceiling decor and double height saloon have all the feeling of a loft-style luxury apartment. Photo: hanstaiger.com

“Then the idea of building a brand came up. I’m convinced that the design we have is very special in terms of the looks of the boat.”

Now the first boat – his boat – is in sea trials, Ordovas is already turning his thoughts to the future. He has sworn to destroy the moulds after just two more X1s have been built. “For me, the value of [this] boat cries out for it to be exclusive,” Ordovas explains. “If you saw too many of these, it would devalue the product.”

He is already mulling an X2 and an X3, and says there has been phenomenal interest in the boat. So much so, that he has appointed superyacht sales agents Northrop & Johnson to lift the weight of dealing with potential customers off his shoulders. “We’ve already had a request for a larger boat,” says Ordovas. “The reality is we’re still a small, boutique shipyard and our production is limited.”

That may be so, but he is undoubtedly ambitious. With only three X1s due to be built you may never clap eyes on one – but if you do you won’t mistake it for anything else afloat.

Unusual boats: trimaran Hanstaiger X1

The unique and stunning Hanstaiger X1 is almost certainly unparalleled and will not be unparalleled for the foreseeable future. This trimaran exists in only three copies and differs from its counterparts in its unique appearance and incredible decoration inside.

What is the Hanstaiger X1?

The boat's creator, John Ordovas, describes the trimaran as a cross between Lamborghini stuffing, the power of a fighter jet, and the luxury of a hotel's VIP room. Despite some pretentiousness of the statement, it is difficult to disagree with it. The trimaran Hanstaiger X1 is so beautiful and strange that it justifies the words of the creator.

The result is a trimaran that has about 85% of interior space on one level, reminiscent of a spacious, loft-style city apartment. 

This is a bold design, because all the interior space is obtained by extending the superstructure to the very stern of the vessel. John shares his impressions: “It had some risky elements. We have removed the deck and cockpit in the usual sense. This is one of the design features that I am most proud of.

Instead of a classic cockpit, we have something like a “cockpit”. Yes, this is still the same bridge, even the cockpit, but, in my understanding, on such a trimaran, especially considering its design, there should be exactly the “cockpit” like on airplanes. You see, my grandfather and father were pilots, I fly myself. And I know how important the review is. That is why the cockpit is glazed and has the greatest possible view.”

Video about Hanstaiger X1

Design features Hanstaiger X1

According to the creator, the boat was specially designed so that there was no need to go to the bow. All boat and sail controls are located as close as possible to the cockpit or within walking distance from it. All winches, locking system, mainsail and staysail lifting - everything works on electronics. There is little rigging on deck.

Although this is clearly not a boat for the yachtsman who likes to tinker with the boat and rigging, performance was still a key parameter.

During the first sea trials off the coast of Alicante, where the shipyard is based, in difficult conditions, the yacht easily reached a speed of 15 knots only under the mainsail and staysail. John boasts: “My pride is being able to set the sails with a single button.”

Hull and sails Hanstaiger X1

X1 is equipped with a lifting daggerboard. A full keel was abandoned. The cases were created on the basis of a mixture of carbon foam and glass. The superstructure is completely made of carbon fiber. This kept the weight to a minimum, but the design is not light at 40 tons.

It is currently not possible to mount a large sail for sailing in light winds. However, John Ordovas says there is nothing in the design of the yacht that could prevent this.

In addition, John has been working on a dynamic stabilization system for a long time. The development of this technology will receive the Martini 7.0 catamaran, which we talked about here .

The essence of the technology is reduced to a complex gyroscopic system that “extinguishes” rolling on the water. The system works like flaps on an airplane wing.

Salon and decoration

In a way, focusing on the X1's performance is like looking at the sound system in a Bentley. It is from the salon on this yacht that it takes your breath away. The bold and unusual layout of the living quarters will also not leave you indifferent.

Salon area of 70 square meters is simply huge. The height of the cabin is some incredible 3 meters. Given these factors, the interior really feels impressive. 

The galley is more like an open plan designer kitchen, with a dining table for eight and fine Italian furniture. 

But the main feature is the transom. More precisely, how it opens completely, and a huge bathing platform descends down. It turns out an impressive recreation area with an area of \u200b\u200babout 30 square meters.

Summing up all the features, we get a yacht that, at the touch of a button, can become one continuous living space.

We need energy!

All this luxury, of course, requires energy. Lots of energy. 2-3 kW of solar panels are built into the boat's hull. It is possible to install a pair of wind turbines.

For a quiet night's sleep, there is a 50 kW lithium-ion battery. To support all this, two 8.6kW generator sets are needed, along with two 165kW Volvo Pentas. 

Hanstaiger X1, X2, X3…

John Ordovas was very surprised that there was a demand for X1. At once, several dozen people passionately desired this trimaran. So John ventured a little cheat. “Initially, it was not expected that there would be many boats. First, it destroys the exclusivity of the product. Secondly, this boat is quite a niche product. But the fact that she became widely known in narrow circles made me change my mind,” John laughs. 

“You see, X1 will still not be more than three or four pieces. This was the idea. I do not mind and do not exclude the possibility of continuing the series in the form of boats of the X2, X3 lines, etc. Interest in the boat is really phenomenal. But we simply will not export in terms of capacity. Presently! But expect news from us in the near future.”

Trimaran Hanstaiger X1

Photo of YachtBoatNews

Sam Fortescue speaks to the owner of the unique and stunning Hanstaiger X1, almost certainly the world’s most radical cruising trimaran inside and out.

Only three of these unique designs will ever be built

catamaran x1

The result is a  trimaran  where some 85% of the interior space is on the same level, resembling a generous urban loft apartment. The cabins and heads in the side hulls, plus the master cabin occupying the forward half of the central hull, all connect without steps to the main saloon.

In-mast furling and a self-tacking jib make the X1 simple to handle via push buttons. Photo: hanstaiger.com

This was one of the reasons Ordovas chose to build a trimaran, rather than a catamaran. “The problem with catamarans is you go into the side hulls and it ends up being something of a rabbit hole with tight corners,” he explains.

It is a brave design, because all that interior space comes from extending the superstructure to the very stern of the boat. “There were some risky elements to this,” he admits. “We were removing the deck space and the cockpit. But in a way, the opening at the back becomes the exterior of the boat as the hydraulic doors become a beach club. It’s one of the design features I’m most proud of.”

Instead, the helm has been moved to the top of a broad staircase (I hesitate to use a term as traditional as ‘companionway’), where an entirely glass-lined bridge amidships gives all-round visibility.

catamaran x1

Cockpit is absolutely the right term here, with its huge high-backed sports seats and natty little automotive steering wheels. “My father and grandfather were fighter pilots, and I’m also a pilot,” explains Ordovas. “I was always trying to inspire the architects to think of a fighter pilot cockpit – that’s why there’s a glass canopy that comes up from the helm station.”

Cockpit wings

The canopy can be opened up via wings at the side if you want extra ventilation, or that whoop-as-you-go feeling. It also lets you clamber out onto the coachroof, where a teak-lined footway bordered with an elegant stainless-steel balustrade guides you safely down to the bows.

It’s an important safety feature, but Ordovas strove to make it a largely unnecessary trip. “The boat’s been designed so there’s not much reason to go to the bow. We have captive winches for the sails, and there’s a push-button system for sheeting in, raising sail etc, so everything is electronics-based. That’s also why the deck of the boat is quite clean – we don’t have many ropes flying about.”

While this is avowedly not a boat for a purist sailor who likes the feedback from helm and sheets – Ordovas himself says as much – performance was still a key part of the brief.

In the first sea trials off Alicante, where the yard is based, heavy conditions saw the boat make an easy 15 knots under main and jib alone. “The sails for me were more from a practical perspective – something environmentally friendly that can get you from A to B in comfort and safety. Sailing in this boat is great fun, it’s pleasurable that you can adjust the sails at the touch of a button.”

The X1 has a lifting centreboard to keep her pointing well, and the lay-up is in a mixture of foam-cored carbon and glass for the hull, with full carbon for the superstructure. It keeps weight to a minimum, but the design is not light at 40 tonnes of displacement.

There is no current allowance for a large downwind sail for tradewind sailing, but there’s nothing in the design of the boat that prevents that from happening, says Ordovas.

He is also tinkering with something he calls a ‘dynamic stabilisation system’: a pair of ailerons fixed between the outer and the central hulls and linked to a gyroscope. Operating like the flaps on a plane’s wing, the system is being designed from scratch to eliminate the already modest roll that the trimaran experiences. “My wife does get a bit  seasick ,” says Ordovas, almost apologetically. “I’m keen to push the boat as much as I can in terms of extreme design.”

In a way, to focus on the sailing characteristics of the X1 is like reviewing the sound system in a Lamborghini. It’s the accommodation on this boat that takes your breath away, as well as the audacious reimagining of living spaces, which is a thousand miles away from the standard saloon-cockpit combo.

With its 70m2 floor space, the saloon is huge, with 3m of headroom to match. The ‘galley’ more closely resembles an open-plan designer kitchen, with an eight-person dining table and sophisticated freestanding Italian furniture. A huge, swivelling LCD screen folds down from the ceiling.

catamaran x1

Hanstaiger X1’s opening transom creates a 27m2 ‘beach club’ lounging area. Photo: hanstaiger.com

But the star feature is the way the whole transom lowers down in three large panels to create a 27m2 ‘beach club’ lounging area. Teak decked, there are clever sunloungers built into the huge hinged aft doors.

This, together with the gull-wing style opening windows in the topsides, means that the whole saloon is effectively transformed into outdoor space at the touch of a hydraulic control.

“This way, we avoid the replication of spaces that you see on other boats: two sofas, two dining tables and so on,” says Ordovas.

Structurally, the design relies on a massive 120kg carbon fibre beam that runs from quarter to quarter and transfers the loads from the deck above and the flexing outer hulls into the main hull.

catamaran x1

Hydraulically-controlled aft doors allow the saloon to open out onto the transom. Photo: hanstaiger.com

Further strength and stiffness is provided throughout the superstructure by a lattice of carbon fibre members.

And though you might lose that traditional cockpit connection to the sea around you, much of it is returned via the flybridge lounging area. There is seating galore up here, a barbecue, fridge and even a glass-walled jacuzzi (yes, really) that you fill from the boat’s 1,200lt freshwater tank, with help from the high-output 260lt/hr watermaker. Hot water comes from an on-demand diesel heater system.

The master cabin is on three half levels, with a double bed at saloon level, then steps down to sofas in the point of the bow. The heads are down a few more steps, tucked under the bed. Also at this level, further aft, is a laundry and nanny’s room. A further two cabins offer a guest double and a twin with reclining beds. “Like a first-class cabin on a plane,” says Ordovas.

Widening the net

All this luxury requires power, of course – a lot of it. There are a token 2-3kW of  solar panels  built into the hull, and the option for a pair of wind turbines, although hull number one won’t have these.

catamaran x1

The X1 has taken 2,000 hours of design work (and counting). Photo: hanstaiger.com

There’s a 50kW lithium-ion battery bank for silent overnighting, and it all requires two 8.6kW gensets alongside the twin 165kW Volvo Pentas to keep it going. I ask Ordovas about using regenerating props, but it’s not something he’s thought about.  Electric propulsion  is another story, however.

“We considered it very carefully. I was initially keen, but the truth is that, at least at the moment, I don’t think the technology is there.”

As is often the case with original yacht designs, the X1 project was borne out of frustration with what the multihull market already offered. “This was five years ago, and the truth was, I didn’t find anything particularly exciting in the mid-sized yachts,” says Ordovas.

catamaran x1

The design allows for a sauna and hydromassage cabin, but Ordovas has diverted this space into wardrobes for stowage. Photo: hanstaiger.com

So instead of hunting round for the best compromise, Ordovas, who has set up international schools all over the world, decided to run a design competition to provoke some new thinking. “The underlying point for me was, if we’re going to do this, let’s do something different, exciting and fun. I didn’t want to do something that looked like all the other yachts, otherwise I might as well just buy one!”

There was a surprising response to his advertisement on  freelancer.com , and he was able to browse for the most interesting designs. Work from Spanish naval architects Antonio Claro and Nerea Perez caught his eye. “I spent two years working with them as a kind of hobby, initially, to see if we could develop a design and then if I was brave enough to go ahead and build it.”

Radical difference

By then it was 2017, and Ordovas commissioned Spanish yard Flash Catamaran to build it. In what lesser souls might have seen as a warning from the gods, Flash went bust a few months into the project. After long consideration he decided there was little point in taking the risk with a third party. “So, we set up our own shipyard and started hiring people,” he says.

catamaran x1

The open plan galley, floating ceiling decor and double height saloon have all the feeling of a loft-style luxury apartment. Photo: hanstaiger.com

“Then the idea of building a brand came up. I’m convinced that the design we have is very special in terms of the looks of the boat.”

Now the first boat – his boat – is in sea trials, Ordovas is already turning his thoughts to the future. He has sworn to destroy the moulds after just two more X1s have been built. “For me, the value of [this] boat cries out for it to be exclusive,” Ordovas explains. “If you saw too many of these, it would devalue the product.”

He is already mulling an X2 and an X3, and says there has been phenomenal interest in the boat. So much so, that he has appointed superyacht sales agents Northrop & Johnson to lift the weight of dealing with potential customers off his shoulders. “We’ve already had a request for a larger boat,” says Ordovas. “The reality is we’re still a small, boutique shipyard and our production is limited.”

That may be so, but he is undoubtedly ambitious. With only three X1s due to be built you may never clap eyes on one – but if you do you won’t mistake it for anything else afloat.
