G-Force Yachts
T he concept
The X-Treme 26 has been develo-
ped with the top of the bigger ra-
cing yachts in mind, serving as an inspiration
and representing the best in terms of perfor-
mance, design, construction and thrill expe-
rience.
Unique amongst her peers, the X-Treme 26
is built to last and to win, demonstrating
outstanding up- and downwind performan-
ces in all conditions. Capable of sailing over
20 knots, she offers four racing solutions in
one single boat:
1. One Design, with furling jib and masthead
hoist gennaker.
2. Handicap, racing as One Design version.
3. Match Race, with smaller fractional hoist
symmetrical spinnaker, easily removable
bowsprit and hiking rail.
4. Virtual One Design, when equipped with
an optional device recording wind speed,
wind angle and boat speed while comparing
the values with the polar diagram. After a
race, the data will be available to view on a
dedicated website and IOS devices (Android
platform in Q3 2016). This device also allows
to virtually sail against X-Treme 26 in the
real world, the winner being the closest to
the polars.
Easy to tow with a regular car, the X-Treme
26 can be launched without the use of a
crane.
Hull:

Deck:

Rigging:

cing.Welcome aboard the “Swiss
Army knife” of Sports boats!G-
Force Yachts and Jeroen Wats, Founder and
CEO, are proud to announce the launch of
the new X-Treme 26, a multifaceted sports
boat that can race in many formats: One
Design, handicap systems (ORC, IRC,
PHRF…), match racing and… virtually!
Following in the footsteps of the X-Treme
37, the X-Treme 26 is a high performance
sports boat built for the win. Fitted with a
square top main sail in Pentex Mylar and a
furled jib, the X-Treme 26 is be a serious
contender for the highest step of the podi-
ums.
Already unique amongst her peers, the X-
Treme 26 can also be fitted with a device
that will track its performance and true wind
data in real time without requiring instru-
ment calibration. After sailing, the data will
be available to view on a dedicated website
and on IOS devices (Android platform availa-
ble in Q3) letting sailors re-live their navigati-
ons with cartography and detailed informa-
tion. Furthermore, this device will allow
every equipped X-Treme 26 to sail virtually
against other X-Treme 26s no matter where
the boats are located in the world and the
weather conditions encountered, bringing
together a real X-Treme 26 community. The
boats will race One Design and the winning
boat will be the one sailing the closest to the
polar charts.
The first five X-Treme 26 being built will all
be fitted with this device before being trans-
ported to their home ports in the United
States, in Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, in the
United Kingdom and in France. And at least
four X-Treme 26 will participate in the next
edition of the Heineken Regatta in March
2017. Until then, get ready to see these
“Swiss Army knives” of sports boats race
around, whether it is virtually or not.

in coming years. “The internationally renowned Porto Montenegro presents an opportunity for ICD to access a successful business with significant potential for development ex-pansion, both in the marina and landside,” said His Excel-lency Mohammed Al Shaibani, Executive Director and CEO of ICD. “It also represents a strategic fit with our expansion plans into international luxury real estate and hospitality sectors whilst providing exposure to a new geography.” Porto Montenegro was conceived and developed by Canadian entrepreneur Peter Munk, founder of Barrick Gold of Toronto - the world’s largest listed mining com-pany - who, with an international group of investors led by Lord Rothschild, envisioned and financed the transfor-mation of a derelict naval base into a major yachting des-tination. Porto Montenegro moved from concept to rea-lity in just under 10 years. Executed and managed from inception by Managing Director Oliver Corlette and his team, the development has always enjoyed the support of the Prime Minister of
The Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD), the princi-pal investment arm of the Government of Dubai, an-nounced today that it has agreed to the purchase of Porto Montenegro Marina and Resort, a landmark yacht marina and waterfront development in Montenegro, from Montport Capital. Located within the Bay of Kotor, a World Heritage site on the Adriatic Sea, the waterfront development offers a lifestyle community for boat owners, residents and tou-rists, set against the magnificent background of the Montenegrin mountains. In only ten years, Porto Monte-negro firmly established itself as a prime destination for the yachting community, and was awarded the Su-peryacht Marina of the Year in 2015. The move to acquire Porto Montenegro Marina and Resort is in alignment with ICD’s strategy to add high quality international assets in fast growing markets to its substantial portfolio. The transaction marks ICD’s first investment in Montenegro and the yacht marina sector, both of which are expected to experience strong growth
Montenegro, his Government, and the people of Tivat and Montenegro. “The Government of Montenegro has recognized from the very beginning and has supported the idea to position Montenegro as a leading super yacht destina-tion on the Mediterranean, which has been fully reali-zed by Mr. Peter Munk and his team of experts through the development of Porto Montenegro Project,” said Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic. He added: “The Gover-nment shall continue with the new investors the coo-peration in implementation of a clear nautical tourism development strategy in Tivat and Boka Bay, and will continue to work together on further positioning of Montenegro as a high-end tourist destination.” Peter Munk, the majority shareholder of Montport Capital, owner of Porto Montenegro Marina and Re-sort, said, “I’m enormously proud of what has been accomplished at Porto Montenegro. It has helped transform the perception of Montenegro throughout the world, has sharply increased the country’s tourism revenue, and has created thousands of direct and indi-rect jobs. The Investment Corporation of Dubai is the ideal party to take the resort to the next level, and to
maximize its virtually unlimited potential. With this tran-saction, I am confident that I am leaving Porto Montene-gro in very safe hands." In addition to 450 berths already built and fully occu-pied, and with the necessary approvals in hand to build another 400 berths plus develop land with a BUA of 280,000 square meters, the resort has the potential to double in size and become the leading luxury yacht port on the Mediterranean. “Looking ahead, our aim is to realize Porto Montene-gro Marina and Resort’s full long term potential,” added Al Shaibani. “Our priority at ICD is to support manage-ment in the fulfillment of its ambitious plans, and to further establish Montenegro as a prime European yach-ting destination.” Al Shaibani added. ICD is currently developing the Royal Atlantis Resort and Residences, a set of hotel rooms, suites and luxury apartments that will grace the shores of Palm Jumeirah, facing Atlantis. Last year, ICD acquired stakes in three luxury hotels across the world: the W Hotel in Washing-ton D.C., the Mandarin Oriental in New York, and the One&Only in Cape Town, South Africa. It also owns signi-ficant equity interest in Kerzner International Holdings Limited (KIHL), the international operator of the One&Only, Atlantis and Mazagan brands. ABOUT PORTO MONTENEGRO Porto Montenegro is the Mediterranean’s leading luxury yacht homeport and marina village. The state-of-the-art facility has been designed to cater to the advanced ne-eds of all yachts, their owners, guests and crew with specific infrastructure for the largest yachts afloat.
