Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen has shared his dreams travelling the world by sail in a new video from X-Yachts, as he sails an Xc 38 from the Danish firm’s easy sailing Xcruising range.
The fellow Dane has long been a fan of the X-Yachts brand — indeed, his “best moment” in one of its yachts was with his wife, enjoying their honeymoon on board an X4⁶ for a week’s sailing around the Greek islands.
True to his racing driver nature, Magnussen is clear about his priorities in his perfect boat.
“What I look for in a boat is, of course, safety — then comfort and performance. I would say those two things don’t really go hand in hand in sailing … I feel like X-Yachts are a very good compromise of those two things.”
The Haas F1 Team driver also shares his excitement at X-Yachts’ new foray into the powerboat market.
Says Magnussen: “I’ll surely have a go in one and see what it’s like — go fishing, hopefully.”
