    Just as we expect clean water and a biologically intact environment for our recreational sports, we should strive to keep the environmental impact of operating the XCAT as low as possible. The hull skin of the XCAT is made of HD-PE. A weather-resistant, impact- resistant and dirt-repellent plastic that is easy to clean.
