Toby Hodges loved the Xc45 first time around. Does this new Next Generation version add anything to the original cruising package?

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

Are rebranded ‘Mk II’ models just an elaborate marketing exercise? Occasionally, yes. But a number of well-respected boatbuilders adopt the practice, including Hallberg-Rassy, Oyster and Discovery – in fact, HR is on to MkIII with some boats.

Sometimes the new model is given a different name, as with the Discovery 58 that replaces the 57 or the new incarnations of Oyster’s 46 and 54, now badged the 475 and 545.

The point to consider with these popular bluewater cruisers is that there is little to be improved upon in terms of hull design that justifies the cost of building a new mould. It is more a case of breathing upon an established product to make it more practical at sea. And of using the lessons learnt from the first batch of owners to improve its liveability.

But are there enough new features on one of these rebadged luxury builds to get excited about? Can tampering actually spoil a well-established product? That was my biggest fear when invited to test X-Yachts’ new ‘Next Generation’ version of its Xc45.

Right first time

Seven years ago we travelled to Denmark to test the Xc45, the first new cruising yacht from X-Yachts. I found then that, on its first attempt, the Danish company that had its heritage rooted in racing designs had managed to create an exemplary cruising yacht. She had a shape that provided a kindly motion and yet plenty of volume, with elegant looks and was rewarding on the helm too.

I was smitten, and I was not alone. The Xc45 went on to win a European Yacht of the Year award, and a full range of cruising Xs were born. Since then an impressive 250 of these have been sold and between them have sailed around one million miles.

So why mess with such a successful design? X-Yachts has decided to go through its Xc range and update it with modifications, starting with the Xc45. ‘Next Generation’ is its slogan for these Mk II versions.

T31A1045

On boarding this new Xc45, I thought she seemed compact, low and narrow compared with today’s shapes – but these are not necessarily criticisms. Indeed it’s rare these days to be able to board a yacht of this size from the dock without needing steps.

Time is cruel though. Park the original X alongside a fleet of modern designs at a boat show and you’ll notice how some features have moved on. So tweaks to this Next Generation model have brought the Xc45 up to date both aesthetically and practically.

Larger hull windows immediately make the revised Xc45 look more contemporary – and they provide more light below to help freshen up a calming and fairly traditional Scandinavian-style interior.

Subtle differences

X Yachts surveyed as many Xc owners as possible about what they would change. These owners are typically couples in their sixties, occasionally sailing with friends or grown-up children. A percentage come from a racing or performance background, hence the desire for a yacht that provides some sailing fulfilment.

The improvements these owners suggested were minor details rather than major changes. It is the smaller practical things that tend to make a big difference when living aboard.

For instance, several reported that there was not enough bin space on the original design. So the galley sink on the new model is located more centrally to create large bins below the worksurface inboard.

T31A1069

There is a lot more stowage and optional stowage throughout. Internal storage space was obviously found wanting on the original design, in fact, as X has now used every nook and cranny possible as potential stowage space. Lockers and drawers now have self-locking, soft-closing mechanisms and the drawers are mounted on hidden runners so they can be pulled out fully.

Another improvement is to be found in the elegant counter transom. Originally X had designed a clever liferaft launching system into this, but it used valuable locker space and resulted in a small bathing platform. Liferaft stowage is now below the cockpit sole, creating a much larger, more practical platform and more stowage space aft in what was the liferaft locker. The liferaft cannot now be launched so efficiently, however, and the quarter lockers remain difficult to access.

T31A1228

The Xc45 has been adapted behind the scenes. X found weight savings throughout the boat in the joiner work and construction (225kg), adding this as ballast into the keel for greater stability. The stainless steel arch that supported the mainsheet has been replaced with carbon fibre, for example, saving weight and space by opening up the headroom below.

Aft cockpit appeal

We originally published a full report on the performance of the Xc45 from our Denmark test in lively conditions. As little has changed with the hull design, it was pointless to repeat the process in terms of performance evaluation. But a Solent sailing trial on the Xc45 Next Generation model, held in a gusty breeze ranging from 8-18 knots, did serve to remind me how rewarding this yacht is at sea. She is a sleek cruiser, slippery yet stable, with a soft, quiet, well-mannered motion.

Average boat length has grown significantly since the original Xc45 was launched. But what stood out for me is how ideal a size she remains for a couple or small family. By this I mean that she is easy to manoeuvre and that the loads are manageable. She is only around 14 tonnes on the water, hence the sheets can be relatively narrow in diameter (10-12mm), which is easy to handle. The cockpit is deep and well-protected from the elements, yet compact in size, and with a comparatively narrow beam it is easy to move from one wheel to the other during a tack.

T31A1005

The true pleasure is reserved for helming as this is a real sailor’s yacht. Some bluewater cruisers make you want to engage the autopilot after a few minutes on the helm. The X is the opposite – you won’t want to leave the wheel.

Helming from the quarters provides more pleasure than a centre-cockpit layout because the steering linkage is more direct and the sight lines are clearer. The Xc45 has good balance and enough feedback to feel small gusts yet remind you of her medium displacement. The electric mainsheet winches make handling the main a doddle from the helm, but the jib can’t be trimmed from here unless it is swapped with the mainsheet lead.

The enjoyment on the helm is accentuated further under asymmetric spinnaker – you can feel the wheel load up when the angles are pushed, and she has noticeable acceleration.

AY7Q5216

The creditable performance of the Xc45 is thanks to a design that strictly governs the allocation of weight, and a build that creates a very stiff structure. All tanks are mounted centrally below the sole for improved balance and reduced pitching. The deep immersed sections provide the interior volume needed for this tankage, plus stowage space for other essential cruising equipment.

The Xc45 uses the company’s tried and tested internal steel frame to absorb loads from the mast and encapsulated keel. Two longitudinal girders take the keel load and spread it across three main crossovers.

The words of X-Yachts designer/founder Niels Jeppesen still ring in my ears from our original test: “We design our boats like this so the keel is able to hit a rock at full hull speed.”

Creating space

Little has changed down below, but the Xc45 Next Generation comes across as smart and fresh. She has a practical layout at sea. Grabrails run along both sides of the interior and all surfaces are fiddled, so she feels secure to walk through when heeled.

KA20080330D284.CR2

X-Yachts increasingly uses white vinyl on headlinings and bulkheads in an effort to keep its interiors light and provide contrast to the traditional teak veneer. There is some neat joiner work detailing throughout – for instance, the veneer on the saloon table is set in quarters so the grain runs in four directions.

KA20080330D284.CR2

The only change to the three-cabin layout is the option for a separate shower in the aft heads instead of a permanent chart table. Surprisingly, no owners have yet chosen the former option, indicative perhaps of the traditional client base. Owners would rather crew suffer a slightly cramped heads than sacrifice a proper chart table!

The galley feels roomy and now has extra stowage space. Gone is the vertical grab bar that I appreciated for the bracing it provided by the companionway, however.

The Xc45 was my ideal cruising yacht in 2007. And in truth, very little has changed with this Next Generation model. So it could be argued that the new branding is more a means of bringing the Xcs back into the public eye.

But a more positive line to take is that the original product was complete enough not to warrant large changes, and that this freshened-up version simply serves to remind us that she remains a very current, enjoyable design, one with staying power.

The Xc45 strikes a deft balance between comfort, performance, security and looks. She is a very user-friendly, inviting boat to sail, neither daunting in size nor heavy enough to exert worrying loads on the deck gear. And, for a displacement cruiser, the Xc45 really is a remarkably pleasant yacht to helm.

Could X-Yachts do more? Doubtful. The Xc45 still stands out as the sailor’s choice of production-built bluewater cruiser at this size. She is truly designed by sailors for sailors – and this is the focal element that is just as applicable today as it was when the original model was launched.

The Xc 45 is no longer in production. To see an overview of the current range please visit the Yachts page. You can also visit the overview of Previous X-Yachts Models .

Xc 45 - 4

DESIGNER’S COMMENTS One of the main differences between the Xperformance and Xcruising ranges is the hull design. The Xc range, with its deeper hull sections, provides a greater interior volume for tanks and other essential cruising equipment. Deeper V-shaped forward hull sections ensure a smooth and comfortable motion when the yacht is sailed into waves (either under sail or engine). The greater displacement allows for a heavier keel to be fitted. The large fuel and freshwater tanks and the heavy battery bank are all strategically located low and central in the yacht for excellent weight...

New Listing – 2016 X-Yachts Xc-45 Mk2

Posted Friday 24th July 2020

xc 45 yacht

Grabau International  is delighted to announce the new listing of the  2016 X-Yachts Xc 45 Mk2 ‘XPLORER OF HAMBLE’.

Very rare to the market, Mk2 ‘Next Generation’ X-Yachts Xc 45 from May 2016. One owner since new and extensively fitted out for trans-Atlantic sailing complete with desirable in-boom furling option. Immediately available at a huge saving over new build price and EU VAT paid.

FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:

XPLORER represents a unique opportunity to acquire an immediately available, EU VAT paid, Mk 2 ‘Next Generation’ example of the European Yacht of the Year winning Niels Jeppesen designed X-Yachts Xc 45. Launched in May 2016, XPLORER was ordered by her experienced owner as a replacement for his Hallberg-Rassy 412 and fitted out specifically to take part in the World Cruising Club’s 2016 ARC where she finished 35th out of circa 150 monohull entrants.

With the equivalent of over Euro 200,000 in additional options and inventory items added to her standard specification, XPLORER is arguably one of the most complete 45ft performance bluewater cruising yachts on the market today. Her specification highlights include:- • Standard 2.20m keel • Epoxy system to hull • 3-cabin, 2-heads classic layout in full teak with dedicated forward-facing chart table and L-shaped • galley • Teak side decks • Hydrovane windvane self-steering • 6kw Fisher Panda generator • Upgraded battery charger with 2kw inverter • Retractable 24vDC bowthruster • Electric main halyard winch • Electric mainsheet winches • Furlerboom in-boom furling system • North sail Norlam battened primary sail package • One Sails furling asymmetric, furling staysail and storm jib • Twin carbon fibre spinnaker poles • Upgraded Raymarine instrument package including radar/chart plotter & AIS • Iridium satellite coms system with Red Box router system • Fusion multimedia centre with Bose speakers • 32” LED TV in saloon • Leather upholstery in saloon • Additional front-opening freezer • Washing machine • 16,000 BTU air-conditioning in saloon • 24vDC ventilation fans • Curved windscreen with sprayhood • Bimini • Dinghy & outboard • Full safety equipment package

Perfectly suited to effortless Med’ cruising or more serious blue water adventures XPLORER is now offered for sale to make way for a larger yacht.

OWNER’S COMMENTS:

We commissioned the build of XPLORER OF HAMBLE because we wanted a very high quality cruising boat with a great sailing capability. As fans of the practicality afforded by aft cockpit boats, we previously owned a Hallberg-Rassy 412, also ordered from new as this was the largest aft cockpit model offered by the brand. We particularly enjoyed her sporty sailing performance, but soon felt the need for more accommodation and storage for longer distances and in particular taking part in the World Cruising Club’s ARC trans-Atlantic rally. The well-proven X-Yachts Xc 45 was the obvious solution, especially as they had just launched the new and improved Mk2 version.

XPLORER OF HAMBLE has fulfilled her brief perfectly and we have enjoyed many miles of fast but comfortable, effortless cruising. Under sail she will easily get to 8 knots very quickly and copes with all sea conditions incredibly well. My wife gets seasick and while XPLORER is not quite a cure, her sea-kindly motion has made things quite a bit easier. Under engine, she effortlessly cruises at 7/7.5 knots at just over 2-2200 revs with her Yanmar 80hp returning impressive fuel consumption at around 4l/hr. If you want to get there more quickly and burn more fuel 8 knots is easily achievable.

We sailed XPLORER OF HAMBLE from the X-Yachts yard in Denmark down to the Med for the summer of 2016. What a shakedown cruise! The Bay of Biscay and the Gibraltar Straights posed some good challenges which she took in her stride. We then left for the Canary Islands to take part in the 2016 ARC. We made the crossing with a crew of four which was perfect. We had lots of light wind days and some big squalls but at no point was her comfort in question, thanks to her sailing capability, bright and airy interior, large and well-protected cockpit and ample water tankage (large enough that we felt no need to take on the complication and potential unreliability of a watermaker). Having arrived in Saint Lucia, we enjoyed a winter season in the Caribbean, where XPLORER’s air-conditioning really paid for itself in keeping the whole boat pleasantly cool.

After her return from the Caribbean (by ship), we have based XPLORER in the Mediterranean and my wife and I have since enjoyed cruising around Spain, the Balearics, Sardinia, Italy and France. XPLORER is extremely easy for the two of us to handle thanks to her multiple foresail options, in-boom furling and electric winches with all the lines led back to the cockpit. The in-boom furling is a fantastic system and we’d never have anything else in future.

We now have our eyes on doing the World ARC in a couple of years time and feel for that trip, where we’d virtually become liveaboards with more crew members and friends joining us along the way, we need something a bit bigger again. If X Yachts made an XC58 it would be perfect!’

MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:

One of the main differences between the Xperformance line and the new Xcruising line is the hull design. The Xc line, with its deeper hull sections, provides a greater interior volume for tanks, and other essential cruising equipment; a feature which also provides smoother sailing in all weathers.

The Xc 45 is designed and developed for long-distance cruising, incorporating the most significant X-Yachts qualities: powerful main engine in a well-insulated compartment, with a 3-bladed folding propeller; large fuel and fresh water tankage, all strategically located low and central in the yacht for optimum weight distribution; an immensely strong steel hull girder frame, taking the loads from the composite lead/cast iron keel as well as from the keel stepped mast.

The prominent feature of the deck is a clean, uncluttered layout with flush mounted, openable deck hatches and stainless steel dorades for optimum ventilation. The sail cabin on the foredeck accommodates space for the asymmetric spinnaker, fenders and the optional bow ladder, and provides good access to the anchor locker.

To access the swimming platform, the transom is hinged down into a horizontal position, whilst the aft deck is lowered to create a walkway. A combination of electronically operated actuators, struts and springs makes the transformation between closed and open cockpit an effortless task. Also integrated into the platform is a bathing ladder and a shower unit.

All sail handling is executed from the cockpit. Halyards, reefing and control lines are led to the winches on the coach roof; the mainsail sheet is led to dedicated winches at the helm. The main sail track has been moved out of the cockpit in front of the sprayhood, providing an uncluttered cockpit with free passage throughout.

The helmsman’s position provides an excellent view forward both during sailing and while manoeuvering in the harbour. The control instrument console ensures a good view of the navigation instruments and is also a secure handhold when moving around while sailing.

YACHTING PRESS REMARKS:

”If you thought this was just going to be another X-Yachts branded performance cruiser, think again. This is an impressive, genuine long-distance passagemaker” … “Seasoned sailors… looking to hang up their racing boots and sail with wives and families, need look no further.” Yachting World – UK

“Even though she is a true cruiser she can’t deny her roots. And exactly therefore the visual, attractive boat has got its best scores from the jury as it is seldom you see the compromise between comfort, security and performance succeed so well – and this already in the first attempt.” Yacht – Germany

Niels Jeppesen hits the target again. Born from the X-Yachts, the market leader for performance cruisers, this elegant and fast cruiser matches her goals. She is spacious on deck and inside and she offers ample storage space for your needs for long distance cruising maintaining the pleasure and the performance of a true sailing yacht. Yacht & Sail- Italy

“She is timeless and attractive with her retro-stern, classical high coachroof and old good looking sheerline. The aft cockpit solution and adequate hull beam have the advantage of creating fine interior volume plus a roomy cockpit. Interior styling in teak is inspired by theX-55 and feels fresh and modern.” Båtnytt – Sweden
