Hull and Structure
Construction
The Xp 55 hull is a composite construction, moulded in a 5-axis-milled female tooling. X-Yachts hulls are built using the latest construction technologies with a vacuum-infused, post-cured epoxy construction.
The hull is a full sandwich construction, using foam core, biaxial E-glass skins and local E-glass unidirectional reinforcements strategically positioned for strength and weight optimization.
Structural Bulkheads
All structural bulkheads are securely bonded to hull and deck. All bulkheads of marine plywood in thicknesses between 16 and 24 mm.
Watertight Bulkheads
At the forward end of the boat watertight bulkheads separate the anchor compartment, sail locker and interior accommodation for safety and reassurance in the event of a collision.
Keel Structure
The keel structure consists of carbon grid structure which forms an integral part of the hull structure.
It is capable of absorbing loads from keel and mast as well as shock loads in the event of grounding.
Integrated limber holes are positioned in order to allow water to run to the central keel bilge.
The keel structure also has an integrated single point centre hoist for easy and safe lifting and launching.
KEEL
The keel consists of antimony hardened lead T-bulb bolted and glued to cast iron fin for high strength, low centre of gravity and comfortable sailing performance.
Ballast weight with the standard keel is approximately 6,500 kg (14,330 lbs).
There are three optional keel drafts available:
Shallow draft T-keel of 2.50 m with cast iron fin and lead bulb
Deep draft T-bulb keel of 3.20 m with cast iron keel fin and lead bulb
Deep draft T-bulb keel of 3.20 m with Weldox stainless steel keel fin and lead bulb
Each keel is encapsulated in three layers of CSM E-glass with epoxy matrix and faired to original keel section templates.
The keel is securely bolted to the carbon grid structure frame with stainless steel bolts and faired.
STEERING GEAR
Rudder
The rudder blade is constructed from sandwich GRP. Rudder stock constructed of solid, high strength aluminium with welded spokes, which transmits the steering torque into the rudder blade.
The rudder stock is mounted through a needle bearing at the hull and self-aligning bearing at the deck to achieve minimum friction for effortless sailing.
Wheel Pedestals / Wheels
Two wheel pedestals in GRP, black grey Gelcoat painted, offer an excellent helming position on each side of the boat. Optional instrument pods are available to customize the pedestal arrangements (see price list). Each pedestal is fitted with a 110 cm (3�6�) diameter composite GRP wheel in black.
DECK CONSTRUCTION
The deck is a hand lay-up, full sandwich construction, which provides both strength and insulation.
The deck uses a polyester resin system and the skins are biaxial E-glass layers with strategically positioned local uni-directional reinforcements. In load bearing areas, such as under deck fittings, either plywood or aluminium replaces the foam core.
TRANSOM HATCH/BATHING PLATFORM
The transom hatch closing the integrated tender garage is electrical operated, and when lowered also acts as spacious bathing platform. The integrated stainless-steel boarding ladder with teak steps unfolds as the transom hatch opens. The stainless-steel bathing ladder can be hooked onto the bathing platform when lowered. The tender garage transom opening is offered with optional PVC cover with X-Yachts' logo.
COCKPIT FEATURES
All halyards and trim lines are concealed below deck and led aft under the coaming, port and starboard, to self-tailing winches near the helmsman.

EXTERIOR FINISHES
