Phoenix Catamarans' factory in Cape Town, South Africa, builds the Xquisite Yachts range, and Josh tours the facility with CEO Clinton to document how the X5e Plus hybrid catamaran and the Xquisite Yachts SIXTY SOLAR SAIL are constructed.2:40 The X5e Plus is the brand's first diesel-electric hybrid, pairing conventional diesel drives with electric motors that can trail-generate power back into the house bank; each e-drive produces 15 kilowatts.1:00 A high-output alternator supports the system, with Integral supplying the hybrid drivetrain and B&G handling navigation electronics alongside Garmin as an alternative. Construction uses a hybrid hand-layup and infusion process with weight tracked to the decimal place; CNC machining shapes plugs and moulds directly from digital files, cutting production time roughly in half.18:04 Polystyrene EPS blocks fill structural volume and are repurposed after machining to reduce waste.22:41 The 60-footer carries a 150-square-metre mainsail that furls into the boom, a full carbon-fibre boom post-cured for high modulus, and a helm station with a multi-user display and red-light night-helm mode.33:34 Each finished vessel contains 35,000–38,000 individual parts and requires 35,000–40,000 man-hours to build.1:01:04 Phoenix also runs an in-house training centre in the Atlantis region, cross-skilling workers in partnership with the government department Musita.1:04:34
