A new destination!

Dear Fellow Yachtsmen,

We are proud to introduce our latest development: a completely new X-Yachts line,

which will set new cruising standards for connoisseurs and dedicated sailing enthusiasts.

The Xc 45 expresses our striving for perfection within our yachting range to create a

long-distance cruising experience beyond all expectations. It also represents the first generation

in a future family of innovative cruisers, utilising the best and transferable features and elements

from our racing and performance yachts.

We call this A new destination!

Through the entire design process, our ambition has been to create the optimum conditions

for long-distance cruising, with a clear working philosophy: the importance of reaching each

new destination in a safe and pleasurable way!

Therfore the Xc 45 offers the perfect environment for your ideal cruising experience. It is the

result of our endeavours to provide a pleasant journey and safe overnight stay for you, your

family or crew, when anchored in a calm bay far away from the packed marinas.

We have done our best to ensure that also you can reach a new destination in your

maritime lifestyle. How and where you decide to go - is up to you.

Our best wishes for an outstanding and safe cruise.

Ten of Europe’s leading yachting magazines are the jury for “European Yacht of the Year”

Bordeaux 60 · Contest 60CS · Moody 45 DSe · Najad 505 · Xc 45 were nominated in the category “Luxury Cruiser”

”

”Quotes from the Jury

‘’The Luxury Cruising Class was dominated by the Xc 45. It is the first model of the new X-Yachts Cruising Line

and despite of focusing on Bluewater cruising, the Xc 45 meets highly sporty demands!’’

“Die Luxus Cruiser-Klasse wurde von der Xc 45 dominiert. Es handelt sich um das erste Modell der für X-Yachts neuen Cruiserlinie,

die trotz Blauwasserausrichtung auch hohe sportliche Ansprüche erfüllt!”

‘’The Award shows that the Danish yard - specialised in traditionally trimmed sporting yachts so far - has done

the market entry into bluewater cruising brilliantly.”

“Bei den Luxus Cruisern schaffte es die Xc 45 aufs Podium, das erste Modell der neuen Cruiserlinie von X-Yachts. Die bisher auf sportliche

Yachten spezialisierte dänische Werft ist so ein toller Einstieg in die Welt des Blauwassersegeln gelungen.”

“I don’t know of any boat in which performance and cruising blend in so perfectly.”

“Ik ken geen boot waarop performance en cruisen zo naadloos in elkaar overlopen.”

“As the first pure cruising sailing yacht produced by the famous Danish yard, this sumptuous 3 cabin yacht

commands attention as a formidable competitor in the world of luxury yachts”.

“Premier croiseur pur du célèbre chantier danois, ce somptueux 3 cabines s’impose comme un redoutable concurrent parmi les voiliers de luxe”

“Xc 45, designed by sailors for cruising. It is revolutionary as it has the sharpness of an X with the comfort

and cruising greatness. Prudent new ideas which produce an all round boat.”

“Xc 45, Pensado por regatistas para el crucero Es revolucionario al conseguir la viveza de un X con el confort

de un crucero grande. Las nuevas ideas son todas acertadas y producen un barco redondo.”

“High cruising comfort is fully compatible with high speed and brilliant sailing performance.

We learnt this after a couple of hour’s sailing on board the new Xc 45.”

”Høj cruisingkomfort er helt forenelig med fart og fornemme sejlegenskaber. Det ved vi efter et par timers sejlads med den nye Xc 45.”

“Long distance in First Class - the lines are exquisite. The hull, deck, cockpit and interior make

my mouth water. The yacht seems carefully thought out with quality details throughout.”

“Langtur på første klasse - Linjene er utsøkte. Skroget, dekket, cockpiten og interiøret gir meg vann i munnen.

Båten virker godt gjennomtenkt med kvalitetsdetaljer.”

“She is timeless and attractive with her retro-stern, classical high coachroof and old good looking sheerline.

The aft cockpit solution and adequate hull beam have the advantage of creating fine interior volume plus a

roomy cockpit. Interior styling in teak is inspired by theX-55 and feels fresh and modern.”

“Den är tidlös och attraktiv med sin retro-akter, klassiska höga överbyggnad och tilltalande språng. Aktersittbrunnen och

god skrovbredd har fördelen att ge god innervolym och en rymlig sittbrunn. Interiören i teak är inspirerad av X-55 och känns

både fräsch och modern.”

Niels Jeppesen hits the target again. Born from the X-Yachts, the market leader for performance cruisers, this

elegant and fast cruiser matches her goals. She is spacious on deck and inside and she offers ample storage space

for your needs for long distance cruising maintaining the pleasure and the performance of a true sailing yacht.

Niels Jeppesen centra nuovamente il bersaglio. Nata dal cantiere X-Yachts leader del mercato dei performance cruisers,

questa elegante e veloce imbarcazione colpisce nel segno. Spaziosa sia in coperta che all’interno offre lo spazio di stivaggio

necessario per le crociere a lungo raggio garantendo le performance a vela tipiche degli scafi X-Yachts.

“Even though she is a true cruiser she can’t deny her roots. And exactly therefore the visual, attractive boat

has got its best scores from the jury as it is seldom you see the compromise between comfort, security and

performance succeed so well – and this already in the first attempt.”

“Trotz fahrtenorientierter Grundausrichtung allerdings kann die neue Xc 45 ihre Wurzeln nicht verhehlen. Und genau deshalb holt sich das

optisch attraktive Boot auch die Punkte der Jury. Denn selten gelingt der Kompromiss zwischen Komfort, Sicherheit und Performance so gut –

und dies gleich auf Anhieb.“

”If you thought this was just going to be another X-Yachts branded performance cruiser, think again.

This is an impressive, genuine long-distance passagemaker” ... “Seasoned sailors… looking to hang up their

racing boots and sail with wives and families, need look no further.”

One of the main differences between the

Xperformance line and the new Xcruising line is

the hull design. The Xc line, with its deeper hull

sections, provides a greater interior volume for

tanks, and other essential cruising equipment;

a feature which also provides smoother sailing in

all weathers.

The Xc 45 is designed and developed for long-distance cruising, incorporating

the most significant X-Yachts qualities: powerful main engine in a well-insulated

compartment, with a 3-bladed folding propeller; large fuel and fresh water tankage,

all strategically located low and central in the yacht for optimum weight distribution;

an immensely strong steel hull girder frame, taking the loads from the composite

lead/cast iron keel as well as from the keel stepped mast.

This is where we have hidden some of the best Xc features. The positively raked transom makes

it different from most other cruising or racing yachts, and gives the Xc yachts a classic look.

Utilizing this classic style allows a spacious aft deck by connecting the side decks. This is very

practical for cruising and it ensures safety in heavy seas.

To access the swimming platform, the transom is hinged down into a horizontal position, whilst

the aft deck is lowered to create a walkway. A combination of electronically operated actuators,

struts and springs makes the transformation between closed and open cockpit an effortless task.

Also integrated into the platform is a bathing ladder and a shower unit.

The compartment for the liferaft is hidden in the starboard part of the transom. It can hold

charter regulation six person canisters, operated by a launch mechanism under the helms seat

which, when needed, can be deployed quickly and easily. Good access from aft is also available.

With an optional integrated stern anchor davit, you can lower and deploy up to 50 m of warp

with ease, using the remote control.

The prominent feature of the deck is a clean, uncluttered layout with

flush mounted, openable deck hatches and stainless steel dorades for

optimum ventilation. The sail cabin on the foredeck accommodates

space for the asymmetric spinnaker, fenders and the optional bow

ladder, and provides good access to the anchor locker, which easily

holds the standard 50 meters of chain.

All sail handling is executed from the cockpit. Halyards, reefing and control lines are led to the

winches on the coach roof; the mainsail sheet is led to dedicated winches at the helm. Both the

standard furling forestay and the optional selftacking jib makes the sail handling an easy job.

The main sail track has been moved out of the cockpit in front of the sprayhood, providing an

uncluttered cockpit with free passage throughout. The optional stainless steel davits allow for

quick and easy launch of the yacht’s tender from the transom.

The helmsman’s position provides an excellent view forward both during sailing and while manoeuvering in the

harbour. The control instrument console ensures a good view of the navigation instruments and is also a secure

handhold when moving around while sailing.

The engine lever arm and control panel is mounted in a starboard cockpit recess for safe and reliable control.

Every detail is designed to optimize the skipper’s control at the helm, and to help a shorthanded crew work safely.

A total of four cockpit lockers, two forward and two aft of the steering wheels, provide ample storage for

ropes, fenders and cruising equipment. For halyards and control lines, a dedicated locker is integrated in the

cockpit sole of the companionway. Washboards are spring loaded and are stowed in a cockpit floor recess,

requiring minimum effort to open and close. Stainless steel pushpits are with built-in seats.

Standard version with dedicated Nav station. En-suite shower version with fixed Nav table.

The Xc 45 offers two alternative main cabin layouts: a standard version with a dedicated Nav station, with

ample space for navigational and communication equipment. In front of this Nav station is a 190 cm sofa,

where one of the back rest cushions can be hinged down to form a small “drinks table”.

Alternatively, we offer a version with a shower compartment adjacent to, and with access from, the standard

head compartment on the starboard side. This version features two comfortable armchair seats, separated

by a fixed Nav table, and has ample space for navigational and communication equipment by the aft seat.

The flush hatches are all fitted with recessed Oceanair blinds, with roller “blackout” and mosquito blinds;

and all main cabin trunk port lights are equipped with curtains from Oceanair.

Aft cabins to suit your needsThe Xc 45 comes standard in the 3-cabin version. This has two

almost symmetrical aft cabins; both with ample wardrobe and

locker space; and both with maximum ventilation from three

openable port lights/deck hatches.

The alternative 2-cabin version features a huge workstation cabin

on the starboard aft side. A workbench, with cabinets and drawers

for tools and spare parts, provides an ideal solution for the sailors,

who want to go on a long-distance exploration/voyage. The deep

and spacious starboard cockpit seat locker is also accessible from

the workstation, as is the engine room, where the optional

generator and plenty of the yacht’s additional technical

equipment is found.

The Xc 45 is designed using the latest and most advanced 3D design programmes,

allowing X-Yachts engineers and technicians to deliver the optimum solutions.

The engine compartment 1 , which also holds the hot water tank, is well insulated

and ventilated. The 24V electrical system ensures efficient cabling and reduced

transmission losses. All cabling terminates in a “dry” GRP box fitted behind the

main electrical panel in the saloon for added safety. Piping for all the water systems

on board run in dedicated service trays and channels.

The optional heating system 2 is mounted aft, near the transom and dedicated

piping 3 runs throughout the entire yacht. When sailing under warmer skies the

optional air con system offers a comforting extra.

The steering system has two independent quadrants 4 for added safety.

An autopilot 5 has a direct link to the rudder stock.
