X-Yachts of Denmark has appointed a new dealer to represent the company’s complete range of sailing yachts in Australia. Headed by Managing Director, Andrew Parkes, X-Yachts Australia is now based at Birkenhead Point Marina on Sydney Harbour, where it offers sales and customer support services for new and existing clients right around the country.
“We are delighted to appoint Andrew Parkes as our exclusive distributor for Australia,” says Per Dollerup Mikkelsen, CEO of X-Yachts A/S. “We believe that this new dealership appointment consolidates X-Yachts premium position in the Australian market.”
Andrew’s experience with X-Yachts and his passion for the marque were sighted as good reasons for the appointment and a continuing bright future for the badge in Australia.
Parkes said he was excited about representing X-Yachts in Australia. “The yachts are world class and there isn’t another manufacturer that offers a complete range for cruising, performance sailing and one-design racing of this quality,” he says.
Of course, X-Yachts has been known for its performance yachts for many years in Australia. But the new Cruising range now offers discerning sailors the quality and performance that X-Yachts are renowned for, with the volume, displacement, storage and tankage required for reeling in serious sea miles.
The exciting new Xc Range will make its Australian debut at the Sydney International Boat Show in July. Meanwhile, the first new X-yacht under the new agents, an X34, will arrive some time this month. Watch this space.
