X-Yachts new Xp 38 will be premiering at the Southampton Boat Show 2011.
The Xp 38 is the second member of X-Yachts’ 4th generation Performance-Cruiser range. The first, the Xp 44, was launched earlier this year in April, and has been praised by the international yachting press, as well as being nominated for European Yacht of the Year.
The new generation of Xperformance yachts have full epoxy foam sandwich hulls utilizing vacuum infusion for light weight and durability. The substantial carbon fibre reinforced hull/keel girders handle all the loads from both the keel and the mast.
The resulting weight saving has enabled the new Xperformance yachts to become approx 10% stiffer than traditional X-Yachts, and substantially stiffer than the competition which is a great benefit for both the cruising-oriented as well as the performance sailor.
The first Xp 38 has been configured for cruising with the standard alloy mast and standard draft keel; while a teak deck and white bowsprit complete the elegant look. Future orders include versions specified for racing under both IRC and ORC, for which the Xp 38 has been intensively optimized, with options including a Southern Spars carbon mast, grand prix deck-layout and deeper keel to add a further performance boost to the Xp 38 package.
We look forward to welcoming you at our X-Yachts stands M 523 – M 529.
