Only a couple of years since this Danish boat builder launched the first models, a 43 and 65- footer, in this range of fast cruisers that sits between the company\u2019s Xp line of performance racer\/cruisers and the Xc range of serious long-distance cruising yachts. The new format is designed to appeal to experienced and knowledgeable owners who demand comfort and luxury, but also want a yacht with impeccable sailing characteristics and the deck gear and sail handling equipment to match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen designing the new X4\u2079 I wanted to combine the sleek, low profile lines of the new X range with luxurious high spec interiors to create a modern performance cruiser that will sail beautifully as well as be a joy to live aboard,\u201d says lead designer Niels Jeppesen. The general formula has already proved to be very successful formula, especially in the 40-50ft sector. The new X4\u2079 was launched at the Dusseldorf boat show in January 2018 and a 46ft model will also be on the water later this year.<\/p>\n
The X4\u2079 has minor on-deck styling changes compared to the earlier models, particularly around the companionway and the spray hood stowage. These give a flat superyacht style teak decked coach roof that\u2019s notable for the absence of clutter. There\u2019s also an optional electric mainsheet traveller recessed into the cockpit floor. Two keel options are offered \u2013 as standard it\u2019s a 2.4m draught L-shape bulb keel, with a deep 2.71m torpedo bulb option.<\/p>\n
The boat has significantly more interior space than the smaller model, which makes for supremely spacious sleeping cabins. Layouts are fairly fixed, but include three double cabins, with one of the aft ones optionally configurable as either a double or twin. There\u2019s also a large owner\u2019s suite forward.<\/p>\n
The saloon, galley and navigation station are also well proportioned, with plenty of natural light and ventilation. These areas feel spacious, but the designers have been careful to avoid an excess of wide-open spaces that are difficult to negotiate safely when at sea in challenging weather.<\/p>\n
