A sheer delight to sail. With the extremely light cable steering, it is possible

to steer her lightly and sensitively with one hand while sitting on the side

deck; the view of the telltales on the head sails are perfect from either helm

position.

Safety and strength are of vital importance to our naval engineers. All

X-Yachts are built in accordance with the European CE-Certification and

fulfil the standards of the ABS Hull Certification. The core feature of

X-Yachts is the legendary hot-galvanised high-strength steel bottom frame:

just ask any X-Yacht owner.

The elegance and simplicity of the rig and the flush deck layout is

achieved by supreme innovative skills. Every detail is designed to

optimize the skipper’s control at the helm, and to help a shorthanded

crew work safely.

The long foredeck and the short distinctive coach roof make

the deck layout look clean, elegant and timeless. We pay

attention to detail and some of the notable features that

emphasis this are the newly designed flush curved deck

hatches as well as the anchor launch system, allowing you to

anchor easily in every bay whether you wish to stop for a swim

or stay overnight.

The X-55 gives you the feel of being in complete control behind the large steering

wheels, while the yacht, with her harmonious hull lines, is gliding smoothly through the

water. All control lines are led back under deck to the two halyard winches mounted on

the coach roof, and a dedicated halyard cockpit locker has been integrated in the cockpit

floor. The neatly recessed sprayhood is easily unfolded.

The functional cockpit offers ideal conditions for handling the yacht, as well as

relaxing while at sea or in port. Harmony of form and function is the defining feature of

an X-Yacht, guaranteeing you the pure pleasure of sailing. Ample storage facilities are

provided in the two large cockpit lockers at the rear. For safety reasons the cockpit com-

partment fits a life raft, and all lines are led under deck. Elegant cleats and the under deck

Genoa furler are further examples of exquisite details that make all the difference.

The detailed workmanship, the carefully selected teak veneers and the

furniture fittings built to the highest standards, all mirror the ambitions

and attitude of X-Yachts. In the spacious saloon with plenty of natural

and artificial light, and the perfectly equipped galley, you and your

guests can enjoy a relaxing dinner after a pleasant day on the water.

The gracefully curved, unvarnished teak steps of

the companionway descend to the elegant saloon.

Fashionable shaped handrails and convenient

furniture edges provide security as you move about

below deck, or you can sit in comfort at the large

and beautifully crafted dining table surrounded by

a sofa. The comfortable nav station is designed

to accommodate all navigational instruments and

communication equipment.

The modern approach of having the wood grain running horizontally, and the vertical

ventilation corner posts, are examples of attractive Scandinavian styling pioneered by

X-Yachts innovative in-house interior architects. Only the best choice of yachting

materials are used; for example the floorboards made of 20 mm Honeycomb with outer

panels of teak plywood, and the Oceanair blinds integrated in the deck head sealing

panels.

The forward owner’s cabin, with its large double berth and

ample storage space, provides you with the luxury X-Yachts

strives for; whilst the aft cabins, with separate heads, allow

your guests or crew to retreat into their own comfortable

quarters to relax and enjoy life on board.
