Xc 45 - new Future Cruising Range

Nominated "European Yacht of the Year 2009"!

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.

Optimum weight distribution
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.

Retro-style classic look
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.

Easy handling
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.

Create your own interior
The Xc 45 comes in a 2 or a 3-cabin interior layout. Standard is the 3-cabin version with two almost symmetrical aft cabins. Alternatively, there is the 2-cabin version, which features a huge workstation cabin with access to the deep, enlarged starboard cockpit locker. Two main cabin layouts are offered to suit your needs: a standard version with a dedicated Nav station. Alternatively, a version with a shower compartment adjacent to, and with access from, the standard head compartment on the starboard side.
