A performance cruiser that sets new standards
The X-65 was conceived as a big sister to the hugely successful X-55; Européen Yacht of the Year 2007. She is also the little sister of the extremely fast and stylish IMX 70. The resuit is a sleek yet spacious performance cruiser. At every stage of design and production the focus has been to create a yacht that is easy to sail and utterly reliable. The X-65 embodies elegance and enjoyment in equal measure
Reliability is crucial. Problems with gear or Systems can be frustrating in port and could compromise safety at sea.
X-Yachts' solution is to use trusted technology and standardised Systems. There is push-button control of halyards and sheets, with reliable electric units favoured over high-maintenance hydraulics. This is a yacht for sailors, not engineers.
You do not need to sacrifice beauty to achieve practicality. When creating the X-65 the designers combined their experience with innovative new ideas to keep her lines clean while ensuring she is easy to handle.
One of the optional foredeck arrangements typifies this intelligent approach. The anchor and bow roller stow neatly out of sight when berthed or at sea, and are launched on a hinged stainless steel arm, supported by a gas strut.
As well as an optional inner forestay and powered genoa furler, the foredeck can also
house a powered gennaker furler to make sailing downwind both simple and safe.
