The new Pirelli X460: The jet tender designed by Christian Grande is conceived as an exclusive tender for yachts from 25 metres in length.
Sacs Tecnorib has launched a new luxury jet tender for the Pirelli X460. The model, designed by Christian Grande, has a compact design and is intended to fit into yachts from 25 metres in length. Of particular interest to Formula 1 fans: the rubber structure of the tender's tubes corresponds exactly to the profile of a racing tyre.

The Italian manufacturer Sacs Tecnorib produces the new tender under an official brand licence from Pirelli. The Italian manufacturer produces exclusive, high-priced tenders and RIBs. Pirelli is primarily known for its high-quality tyres in the automotive and motorsport sectors. However, together with Sacs Tecnorib, the brand has also made a name for itself in water sports.

Compact garage dimensions and economical overall weight

Every centimetre counts when pulling into the garage. The Pirelli X460 measures 4.60 metres in length and is exactly 1.98 metres wide. To reduce the stowage height, the windscreen of the tender can be completely folded in. According to the manufacturer, the real total weight is 615 kilograms, including the heavy BRP Rotax jet drive, the battery and all additional parts. The starting price for the tender is 65,331 euros.

Pirelli X460: Motorsport look in a special edition

Visually, the boat is characterised by racing. The tyre track look of the ORCA Hypalon tubes is seamlessly continued on the bathing platform. There is also a special edition for owners who want more exclusivity. The "Pit Lane" has a black hull with coloured tyre accents in red, yellow or white. The side passage should also be practical. This allows direct access from the front to the rear without passengers having to climb over the seat cushions. In addition, the backrest of the cockpit bench can be flexibly folded down to create a flat sun lounger. A modular system of buckles and straps on the tubes optionally secures wakeboards or bags during the journey.

High performance with jet drive

The built-in BRP Rotax engine delivers 170 hp and transmits its power to the water via a jet drive. In combination with the flow-optimised V-hull, the Pirelli X460 achieves a top speed of over 30 knots. The tender is therefore well suited for fast transfers and also has enough power to have fun.

Weit entfernt von den Küsten im Rhein-Main-Gebiet aufgewachsen, fand David Ingelfinger erst im Alter von elf Jahren auf den niederländischen Gewässern zum Segelsport. Was als Familienurlaub ohne großartige Vorkenntnisse begann, mündete in einer steilen Lernkurve, aus der die dauerhafte Leidenschaft fürs Segeln entsprang. Seine praktischen Erfahrungen festigte er über die Jahre mit dem Erwerb des SKS und zahlreichen Meilen als Skipper auf Charteryachten im Ijsselmeer, der Nordsee sowie im Mittelmeer. Nach seinem Studium der Publizistik schlägt er nun die Brücke zwischen dem journalistischen Handwerk und der Praxis auf dem Wasser und bringt seine Begeisterung für den Sport als Volontär in die Redaktion der YACHT ein.
