Cruising sailboat X-40

3-cabin2-cabinwith center cockpit

A replacement for the exceptionally popular X-412. The X-40 is part of the second generation of X-Yachts’ Performance Cruisers. The hull model was made by extending the IMX 40 by 100mm, modifying the bow rake and adding a cruising oriented deck layout and teak interior. The X-40 has proved to be as competetive as the IMX 40, and rates more favouable in both ORC and IMS. ”Sirena”, owned and sailed by Denmark’s Peter Buhl, has won many major races in Denmark as well as the 2005 X-Yachts Gold Cup in Arendal, Norway. Production Years: 2004 — 2010 Number Built: 140 PROPORTIONED TO PERFECTION The hull lines and layout of the new X-40 are designed from the highly successful production racer, the IMX 40, and perfected to provide the cruising family with a stiff, fast and comfortable yacht. On the water she makes a profound impression. Her easy and responsive handling is sup-ported by having ail control lines and sheets led back to the cockpit. The double-ended mainsheet System is led back to either side of the cockpit under the side decks, and can be controlled either directly by the helm The large steering wheel together with the needle bearing steering System make helming and manoeuvring the yacht an unforgettable pleasure.
