X-Yachting - X-Yachts

The X-35 was eagerly anticipated by the sailing community,
with over 100 boats sold before the first design in the
Xracing line was even launched. On the water her popularity
only grew, and today there are over 250 X-35s currently
racing, with fleets all over Europe, Japan, the USA, and the rest of
the world, offering the chance for owners and crews to compete
on an equal footing with some of the world’s best sailors. An ISAFrecognised
one-design, the X-35 also has proven performance
under handicap and makes a fast summer cruiser.
The X-35 capitalises on X-Yachts’ wealth of experience building
race-winning performance yachts. An open, ergonomically designed
cockpit ensures plenty of room during boat-handling manoeuvres,

whilst her refined control line system – all led to the coachroof top –
also makes the X-35 easy to handle for a shorthanded crew. A large
wheel offers a great helming position, as the hull, keel and rudder
configuration give the helmsman a very light and direct ‘feel’ for
great control and responsiveness.
The sail plan includes a powerful mainsail, 108% non-overlapping
jib (with optional furling headstay for more relaxed sailing), and
symmetric spinnaker. Down below there are berths for eight, with
three cabins providing ample space for a family cruise or regatta
accommodation. The functional interior also features a removable
saloon table for ease of sail handling, and a galley including sink,
gas stove and oven.
