X-Yachts, revamps cruising range with new Xc 42 and Xc 45

In 2008, Denmark’s X-Yachts turned its production (until then focused on performance racing/cruising, one design, and custom hi-tech boats) around by introducing to the market the first models in the Xcruising line, the Xc 42 and 45: boats characterized by good motor maneuverability, ease of sailing, high stability, uncompromising safety, and quality in every detail. Increased engines, ample generator space, tanks below the floorboard, more space for personal items, ample interior ventilation. Repositioning of mainsail sheet rail outside the cockpit, important sizing of deck equipment, specially designed life raft positioning and launching system.

Now, after 250 Xcruising hulls produced (and about a million miles sailed by a large geuppe of Xc owners) the shipyard will launch the next generation of Xc 42 and 45.
