Fresh innovations
X-Yachts launched their first pure cruising
model, the Xc 45, in 2009, and made an
immediate impact...
When X-Yachts turned their many years of experience
producing performance-cruiser and racing designs to
the new Xcruising range, the Xc 45 was the first model
to hit the water. Along with her sisterships, the Xc 45
incorporates many key X-Yachts hallmarks, including a steel hull/keel
girder for strength and resistance to grounding, carefully designed
deck and sail layouts that allow for ease of sail handling even when
sailing two-up, and pleasurable sailing performance balanced by
luxurious interior space and comfort.
As the first model in the award-winning Xcruising range, the Xc 45
introduced many key design features including a positively raked
transom which incorporates an integral swim platform and liferaft
storage. There is also a central instrument console aft of the cockpit
table, and extensive cockpit protection options to ensure cruising is
a pleasure no matter what the conditions.
The Xc 45 also offers flexible interior layout options, with two or
three cabin versions, and a choice of either a conventional full-sized
nav station or more compact chart or enlarged heads with separate
shower stall. High quality finish options include either white or
varnished teak bulkheads, with ample storage, comfortable seating,
and room for as many mod-cons as you wish, even a washing
machine!
