InventioTHE XCINQUEMILA IS THE HULL #5000 BUILD BY X-YACHT, IT IS THE SYMBOL FOR THE ULTIMATE OCEAN CRUISE RACER.

‘The Xcinquemila, a XC50 build by X-Yacht is seen here during her construction over 2012 -2013. Specially equipped with the latest state of the art electronics by B&G and sails of North Sails.

Under construction We have chosen the XC50 as the cruiser racer for short handed class: "With a similar look and styling to XP50, the XC50 has more space above and below decks, is fast, thus shortening stopover-time, carries larger tanks, employs a 24V system and has the option of an extended galley solar systems".

It is enough to get the 17-tonn vessel

Aims and ObjectivesTo advance and promote generally short-handed sailing in Ocean Racing and to: Bring together parties interested in the advancement of or participation in short-handed sailing and to exchange and advance short-handed sailing techniques and technologies.

X-YachtThe boat builder

Sponsorship geared to driving sales can be an extremely potent promotional tool.

The X-Yachts Story In 1979, one of today’s most successful and quality orientated production yards was established in Denmark. During the 1980’s, X-Yachts designed and built winning IOR yachts for World Class Racing. Our success with this market attracted the attention of the cruising market, which was then looking for fast, high quality and comfortable sailing yachts. It seemed very clear to us that we should use our boat building experience from the fast racers and combine this with building high performance cruising yachts.

The Xcruising Range The Xcruising range was designed for sailors who want to cover sea miles in style and comfort, yet retaining the same design and build qualities that X-Yachts performance designs are renowned for. The first in the family, the Xc 45, was awarded the 2009 European Yacht of the Year the year of its launch. It was soon joined by the Xc 42 and in 2010, the range was doubled by the introduction of the Xc 50 and the Xc 38. Only a couple of months after the launch of the Xc 38, it was awarded the 2011 European Yacht of the Year.

Every model in the Xc range offers the same enjoyable sailing experience that X-Yachts owners are familiar with, but with deeper, more 'V'-shaped hulls that give greater interior volume and high stability, with only a marginal reduction in light airs performance. The Xperformance Range "They started work on the new Xp 44 models back in the spring of 2010" explained Niels Jeppesen, Director of Design. "We decided to begin a new Xperformance generation because our existing performance range was originally developed back in 2002 and 2003".
