Formula 1 technology
The Xtender 10.0 superyacht tender is an innovation in tender construction. The hull is manufactured from 4 millimetre solid carbon fibre, in strength the equivalent of 6 millimetres of steel, but at only a fraction of the weight. The hull and other components of the Xtender are constructed out of prepreg carbon using autoclave technology for the best carbon-epoxy ratio: very light, yet extremely strong. This technology originated from Formula 1 cars and can be used to produce any shape desired.

Strenght-to-weight ratio
The very specific prepreg carbon fibre construction of the Xtender 10.0 yacht tender gives it the best strength-to-weight ratio. The concave hull design gives extra lift, pushing the water away from the hull, lifting the boat out of the water. The weight and construction offers the Xtender better manoeuvrability and boat handling than most ribs on the market. The Xtender is more efficient, has better performance and a much longer lifespan.

Lightest rib in the market
The Xtender 10.0 yacht tender, due to its relatively low weight, can be transported much easier than a standard tender. At nearly half the weight of an average polyester tender, a fully fitted 10.0 meter Xtender, because of its weight, makes it the ultimate tender. The bare hull weight of the Xtender 10.0 is less than 1000 kgs. The carbon fibre Xtender rib is much lighter than a polyester rib. However a lot stronger and with a much higher level of durability and performance.
