Professionally maintained, three cabin X-Yachts Xp 44, demonstrates exactly why the Xp 44 was named Sailing World's 'Yacht of the Year' in 2014.
This X-Yachts Xp 44 benefits from a very high specification and many upgrades / extras to the standard factory specification including Southern Spars Carbon Mast, Racing Carbon Bow Spirt, Full North Sails, 57HP Yanmar Engine, Retractable Bow thruster, Lithium Ion Battery setup, Mass Combi Charger/Inverter Mastervolt, B&G H5000 System, Folding Bathing platform, Teak Cockpit, Teak Cockpit Table, All winches fully upgraded, All sailing Packs offered by X-Yachts (1-2-3), 2x Sea Berths and 2x Fridges.
A highly optimised hull shape offers exemplary performance in a range of wind conditions, on all angles of sail, under both ORC and IRC handicap systems. Key elements of the hull design include reduced upright beam and wetted surface area, while the transom shape ensures that as windspeed builds and the boat powers up, the overall waterline length increases for additional speed.
X-Yachts are designed by sailors, for sailors. Every Xperformance yacht is created to perform superbly in all conditions and in all sail configurations. However, many of the very same factors which make the Xp models race winners, also ensure that they are enjoyable fast cruisers.
