GALLEY – 8/10
With the galley located amidships, the motion is steadier for cooking underway. The two-burner stove with oven,
double stainless steel sinks, plus top loading fridge all add to the high score.
HEADS - 6/10
The forward head is roomy and well thought-out, with grabrails…
LIVING BELOW – 10/10
Accommodation below is a relaxing vista of soft curves in polished teak and veneers. The grain of her joinery runs in
perpendicular lines to complement the cherry and oak layout of her saloon sole.
TOTAL SCORE – 91/100
Lean and hungry-looking she may be, but there is nothing wanting in her performance, below decks living, or
construction. The spade rudder may put some buyers off, but it has a minimal keel skeg and is so well built it is
unlikely to be a safety issue. Rob cruises her happily with wife Jo and their four-month-old baby Isabella. She’s a
beautiful boat and will inspire, but she’s not for the faint-hearted.
X-Yachts Company profile:
In 1979, one of today’s most successful and quality orientated production yards was established in Denmark. During
the 1980’s, X-Yachts designed, and built, winning IOR yachts for World Class Racing. Their success with this market
attracted the attention of the cruising market, which was now looking for fast, quality, and comfortable sailing yachts.
There appeared nothing more obvious, but to use their boat building experience from the fast racers, and combine
this with building Performance Cruising yachts.
Throughout the 1990’s, X-Yachts’ range of “Performance Cruisers” was born. The X-412 was the first model in the
new line, and was followed by the X-382, X-442, X-362, X-302, X-332, X-612, X-482 and finally in 1999 the X-562.
Many of these models have benefited from evolution over their production life, with updates on styling and interior
layouts, but most significantly, the application of new keel and rudder profiles, in their quest to be progressive. They
achieve this edge with their in-house “Research and Development”, where they discover how to improve and refine
their designs, ensuring X-YACHTS’ position as market leaders.
