• X-Yachts Xp44

The ideal choice for sport, design, and performance

Our carbon masted Xp44 combines impressive performance with simplicity of handling, appealing to all the family. The comfort and luxury level beats any mainstream charter boat and it is on the same boat that sailors around the world excel in top racing events. Stability is the key principal and by using the most advanced build technology with vacuum infusion, carbon keel frame, hull and rudder design optimization and a unique carbon mast, the result is dynamic and easy going sailing under all weather conditions.

This model was the first of the Xperformance line to be launched, and was named Sailing World’s ‘Yacht of the Year’ in 2014.

A highly optimised hull shape offers exemplary performance in a range of wind conditions, on all angles of sail, under both ORC and IRC handicap systems. Key elements of the hull design include reduced upright beam and wetted surface area, while the transom shape ensures that as windspeed builds and the boat powers up, the overall waterline length increases for additional speed.

Uncompromised Comfort

Space is luxury, five star outdoor living, safe by design.

Who said that true sailing performance comes only with plain unfriendly interiors. The X-Yachts design superiority hides behind the vacuum infusion technology on the hull construction, the carbon frame over the keel and the right weight distribution of all the fittings which let room -weight wise- to include all the necessary premium materials to create the feeling of a five star hotel, but this time on a boat.

The 3 cabin layout,  with two generously sized WCs/showers on a 44ft yacht is delivering lots of space everywhere, making living on board a truly relaxing experience. Ideally this yacht will comfortably accommodate 6 adults but if wished can sleep another two persons in saloon area and another two children or agile adults at the aft removable sea berths (check Layout & Accommodation details below ).

The well-proportioned saloon gives the yacht a spacious feel, but well positioned hand rails and good furniture placement ensure it is always safe and easy to move around no matter the heel angle.

Everything in the interior is a beautifully crafted in the known all time classic X-yachts way

The standard full teak bathing platform creates a perfect area for relaxing as well as easy access from the water or dinghy. In this way you can take full advantage of the swim stops or the overnight stays on one of the endless safe anchorages of the Greek archipelago.

The  cockpit space on board the Xp44 is not only designed to be functional and safe while at sea but also creates a luxurious outdoor living space. The twin wheels and recessed mainsheet track ensuring that the cockpit area is spacious and uncluttered.

A deck shower is fitted as standard. The high back rests not only offer protection while at sea but also create a comfortable seating area on the fitted cockpit cushions

The Xp44 incorporates 40yrs design experience of the Danish boat yard. A boat you feel sure to spend time on with your friends and family, even when the weather conditions are not ideal.

The vacuum infused epoxy, full sandwich hull saves important weight and it maximises strength and stiffness. All saved weight is used to increase the yachts’ stability enabling the crew to have a more relaxed time and to feel more safe and comfortable.

The carbon frame is glued to the inside of the hull and takes all the loads from the keel and mast. This keeps the yacht stiff, strong and safe. In the same aspect the lead bulb are encapsulated in a reinforced epoxy e-glass shell.

Sailing Performance, on Every Angle

Any boat can go well downwind with a decent sailplan and hull shape. The challenge for the Danish X-Yachts designers was how to achieve a big smile on the face of the skipper any time all directions of sailing are included in the route. And they did a pretty good job as you will realise from the first moments behind helm.

The Xp44 converts the Greek archipelago into a sailing arena waiting for you to explore and the Greek islands as your buoys. Easy you will consistently see two digit numbers in speed over ground when in broad reach with asymmetrical spinnaker and will be pointing incredibly high, with velocity-made-good unimaginable, compared to any other conventional yacht out there.

Flexible Sailplan, Easy to Handle

Taking full advantage of the carbon mast, we have engineered the sailplan of our Xp44 to be a perfect match to the sailing characteristics of the hull, to the different uses for holidays or racing and to the local Greek conditions. So all boats are fitted with:

• Main sail with two reefs, 1 full & 4 mid. battens, cruising laminate taffeta CDX
• Jib nr3.5, cruising laminate taffeta CDX, sheeted to tracks, adjustable from cockpit, with roller battens.
• Optionally asymmetrical spinnaker A2
• Optionally asymmetrical spinnaker A5
• Optionally a Code Zero, to get you going when close reaching in light wind conditions

Ultimate Sail Design

All X-Yachting tri-radial sails have been thoroughly engineered up to every small detail, in order to perfectly match the X-Yachts sailing philosophy and honour the true sailing performance of each boat separately. Countless hours of work have been dedicated locally in Greece, from our globally  recognised partners Quantum Sails and their talented sail designer and race winning sailor Pat Tahtatzis to design, test and execute this important challenge and the result is in one word: “Perfect!”

Accommodation

3 cabins / 2 wcs / sleeps 6 adults + 2 adults + 2 children.

The layout includes the master bow cabin with a double bed and an ensuite WC with shower, the aft starboard cabin with one more double bed and the aft port side cabin with split bed which can be converted (upon request during booking) to full size double bed. The aft head has an independent entry door from the saloon area so that it can be shared from both aft cabins.  So 6 adults can comfortably sleep without any compromise.

If the team is up for it, another two adults can sleep in the saloon area in the two sofas. Also in both aft cabins there are sea berths which we can install (as an option), on the sides over the main bed, where another two children or agile adults can sleep (one per sea berth). This feature is often used by couples with one child/teenager or so or young friends.

So in total there can sleep max 10 passengers on board which is also the max nominal capacity of the boat.

If X-Yachts had asked my advice on boat names, I’d have recommended using an uppercase “P” for the Xp 38, since it’s a sailboat that tacks sharply toward the performance end of the cruiser/racer spectrum. After sailing the boat last fall with the Boat of the Year judges in Annapolis, Maryland, I might’ve also suggested an “L” for lively, an “S” for spirited, or simply a “D” for delightful. All would apply to what the company refers to as its “Pocket Rocket.”

X-Yachts has been building fast, well-constructed racing sailboats in Haderslev, Denmark, since 1979, and along the way, the boats have attracted the attention of cruising sailors who appreciate a good turn of speed. Today, the company’s models include one-design racers, the Xc line of cruising boats (with deeper hulls designed to sail well while providing more interior living volume), and the Xp line of performance boats that are loaded with go-fast potential but still offer more than adequate creature comforts.

“It’s going to have to appeal to both sides of the sailing equation,” said BOTY judge Alvah Simon. “So it’s going to have to be awfully competitive under sail and fun to sail and race, and yet it’s going to have to have an interior that for the most part works. It probably will run a little bit more toward the performance side, but they’ve done a good job of putting a coastal-cruising interior into it.”

Indeed. Belowdecks, the layout is simple and functional, albeit smaller feeling than on some comparable boats that trend more toward the pure cruiser lineage. Still, the galley is stocked with all the gadgets you’d look for in a 38-footer. Opposite, a head with stall shower doubles as a handy wet locker for anyone coming off watch. Twin aft cabins each have double bunks and good-size hanging lockers. And forward, the V-berth has plenty of elbow room and storage. Amidships, a full-length settee is to port of a centerline drop-leaf table; to starboard, a sliding nav station can be pushed aft, with the end of a shorter settee forming a seat, or it can be slid forward and a portion of the settee can also be moved so you have a front-facing desk or place to set a drink, with seating to either side. Teak woodwork and white laminate paneling throughout are attractive and low maintenance, a good combination on any boat.

The Xp 38 and its siblings, the Xp 44 and the Xp 50, were designed in-house by Niels Jeppesen to take advantage of new materials and construction methods now available since his last generation of performance cruisers was introduced. The trademark galvanized steel frame, previously used to carry rig and keel loads and to stiffen the hull, has been replaced by a laminated carbon-fiber grid. Hulls are an epoxy-infused sandwich of fiberglass cored with

Divinycell (solid glass at the keel and around the through-hulls) that’s post-production cured for added strength. The Xp 38’s deck, attached to the inward-turning hull flange using adhesives, is hand laid and also foam cored.

The boat we sailed had the standard fractional 7/8ths aluminum rig and rod rigging, and the standard six-foot-10-inch iron keel with a lead bulb. For the racer, a foot-deeper foil is an option, as is a Southern Spars carbon-fiber mast and boom. The boat is powered (though the judges thought perhaps a bit underpowered) with a 29-horsepower Yanmar and saildrive

The cockpit and deck reflect the same simple but purposeful design as the interior. Cockpit benches are shorter than you might find on an all-out cruiser, but they provide comfortable off-watch seats in the shade of a retractable dodger and plenty of room for a competitive crew to trim their way around the cans. A traveler spans the cockpit just forward of the twin helms and anchors a German-style split mainsheet, which runs forward to the mast, then aft through blocks via channels under the teak deck, and finally back to Harken winches that are easily accessible from either wheel. At the bow, an under-the-deck furling drum helps keep clutter to a minimum.

With a high-aspect full-batten main and slightly overlapping jib, the Xp 38 is pure fun to sail. In breeze that wavered in the mid teens, the boat stood up in the puffs and took off like a shot, the plumb bow effortlessly slicing through the chop.

As with a high-end sports car, you pay a premium for a ride as sweet as the Xp 38 delivers. The sailaway price, with decent sails and instruments, is in the $350,000 range. But judging from the grins plastered on all our faces when our sail came to an end, I’d say that in this case, you get what you pay for.

XP 44 is a 45 ′ 6 ″ / 13.9 m monohull sailboat designed by Niels Jeppesen and built by X-Yachts starting in 2011.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Hull length: 13.29m / 43.6ft Deep draft 2.65m/8.69’ Mainsail 59.6 m2/642 ft2 Genoa 106% 47.2/m2 508 ft2 Spinnaker 170 m2/1830 ft2 Taller rig w/carbon mast also available. Spec. from builder brochure (2012). Rig dimensions from sample ORC cert.
