Palm Beach Motor Yachts Presents Innovative Upgrades for Palm Beach XI Preceding 2025 RSHR

Artistry in the ocean - that’s what Palm Beach Motor Yachts brings with its latest offering, the much-overhauled Palm Beach XI. Positioned swiftly on the cusp of the 2025 RSHR (Rolex Sydney Hobart Race), the yacht rises with newfound valor, boosted by an impressive sweep of upgrades and remodelings.

The vision behind this glamorous overhaul? Mark Richards, the founder and CEO of Palm Beach Motor Yachts, who weaves his rich tapestry of ocean-racing experience and yacht-building prowess into the heart of Palm Beach XI’s transformation. And it’s not just a one-man show either. Lending their skills alongside Richards is a cast of industry giants ranging from Juan Kouyoumdjian, of America’s Cup and Volvo Ocean Race-winning glory, to the composite racing specialists, McConaghy Boats, and North Sails, gifting a state-of-the-art sail package.

But what’s so exciting about the upgrades? The appendage package catches the eye: the new and deeper Keel Fin and Bulb to cut drag and maximize the righting moment; the advanced upwind Daggerboards for sharper pointing ability and reducing drag in all water conditions; and perhaps the show-stealer - the C-Foils! These radical additions are geared to escalate lift, limit drag, and enhance the righting moment for reaching and downwind sailing angles.

These tweaks aren’t just to elevate Palm Beach XI’s race performance, nor to simply reel viewers in with their high-tech sheen. The redesign serves as a living platform for the future, setting a new bar of expectation for luxury motor yachts. With such an ambitious transformation, Palm Beach XI aims not just to capture the front of the Rolex Sydney Hobart fleet, but also the imagination of audiences - thereby disrupting the industry with a vision of what’s truly possible for yachting’s future.
