X-YACHTS X46

-

The X range of performanc­e cruisers incorporat­es the best elements from both the Xcruising range and the Xperforman­ce range.

The hull design maximises sailing performanc­e in all wind conditions, courtesy of its generous sail plan, high quality mast and rig and discontinu­ous rod rigging.

The deck layout features a self-taking jib, with the sheet handled by one of the halyard winches, and a mainsheet track recessed into the cockpit sole with an 8:1 purchase traveller control system. Each of the twin wheels is connected to its own quadrant with completely independen­t wire systems for safety and redundancy.

Toughened glass coachroof windows flood the interior with natural light, while large flush skylights and opening side windows provide excellent ventilatio­n. Teak is standard in the cockpit – optional on side decks and the coach roof top – as well as on the electrical­ly operated bathing platform.

Available in three or four cabin variants, the X46 has two bathrooms, a forward facing nav station, electrical switchboar­d and space for optional navigation­al, communicat­ional and radio equipment behind locker doors.

The new X46 will debut in July 2018.
