Hot out of the X-Yachts Design Office came the X4⁰, a forty-foot performance cruising yacht that is just as capable for some serious mileage, as it is blasting around the cans at the weekends. The new baby Luxury X-Yacht joins the hugely successful and critically acclaimed Pure X range.
The design philosophy was very clear from the outset - like all our yachts, we place a huge emphasis on giving the owner a superb and comfortable sailing experience, on a yacht that is easy to handle by all the crew.
At the heart of the X4⁰, is the galvanised steel keel grillage structure. Pioneered by X-Yachts back in 1981, the galvanised steel hull girder offers superb reassurance and safety. Its primary role, is to spread keel and mast loads into the hull. It also enables the yacht to withstand extreme shock loads from grounding or an impact with a submersed object.
Not only is the keel structure immensely strong, it is also reliable and very easy to inspect for potential damage.
Bolted to the steel grillage, is the keel with iron fin and heavy lead bulb with moderate draft. There is both a shallow and a deep draft option available.
The standard deck layout comes with: 4 winches, two halyards, self-tacker sheet and control line winches next to the entrance, and two main sheet winches aft of the cockpit’s backrest coamings, within reach of the helmsman. The deck has an integrated recessed self-tacker track for an 88% jib.
There is an option for coach roof top, longitudinal Genoa tracks and two dedicated Genoa sheet winches on top of the cockpit backrest coamings, enabling the Genoa size to go up to 106% for improved light wind performance.
The interior of the X4⁰ is designed to maximise the space available, creating a functional, safe and stylish user experience below deck. Once again, the interior design will have Danish design flair and carpentry at its very best.
The craftsmanship and detailing will be of a very high standard, being both traditional but with a modern appearance. The wooden veneer will be Nordic Oak as standard, with other options on offer.
