The new Xp’s adopt the very latest developments in contemporary performance yacht<br />

design. The Xp range builds on the unrivalled reputation of X-<strong>Yachts</strong>’ trademark steel<br />

frame structure, by featuring a new carbon/composite grillage to support the robust<br />

‘shell’ for a perfectly accurate shape that resists corrosion. The carbon-capped beams also<br />

to dedicated rig and keel options. The high ballast to weight ratio together with refined<br />

provide an even greater ratio of strength and stiffness to weight 170º for exceptional hull impact<br />

foil sections on both the standard and deep draft keel offer reduced resistance, making<br />

resilience and rig stability, maintaining X-<strong>Yachts</strong>’ renowned safety standards and longevity.<br />

Further weight reduction together with increased rigidity is made possible through use of<br />

their thrilling performance accessible for all styles of sailing.<br />

The performance hull form has been designed for minimal upright resistance and<br />

the latest E-Glass vacuum infusion processes, and the entire structure is cured under high<br />

wetted surface area when sailing in lighter conditions, with powerful aft sections and<br />

temperatures and pressure for maximum stiffness.<br />

refined heeled waterlines offering additional form stability under a generous sail plan.<br />
