X-yachting 2014 edition

Snygg broschyr/magazin från X-yachts. Reklamig så klart, men snygga bilder och hyfsade reportage från de olika X-regattorna. Proffsigt.

The year 2013 was just an amazing 12 months, the year we had all been waiting for. It saw the launch of our newest additions to the family with the Xp 33 and Xp 55 completing the Xperformance range, one at each end of the scale.

For those of us in Northern Europe it also brought such a lovely long summer, that we could all remember just why we want and need to go yachting, and why sailing with friends and family is such an enjoyable thing to do.

In the Southern Hemisphere we celebrated the Australian region becoming the biggest X-Yachts market, as X-Yachts also successfully broke into new markets worldwide, including China, Chile, New Zealand and Canada.

Finally, it was the year when the X-Yachts Gold Cup returned to the prestigious Royal Yacht Club of Denmark (KDY), as more than 1,000 sailors celebrated and competed over three long days, in the most fantastic weather. You can read all about the memorable Gold Cup on page 108, along with tales from X-Yachts owners around the world.

We hope this edition of X-Yachting will help inspire memories of a truly great sailing year, as well as demonstrate just what X-Yachts and the X-Yachts
global community is all about. There is comprehensive information on the core X-Yacht ranges, the Xperformance and Xcruising lines, and a special focus on the latest models – including the introduction of an all-new baby Xc 35 (see page 64).

We’re also proud to release preliminary details of a new ‘super cruiser’ currently in development. The 60-footer will be a performance cruiser built utilising the best of contemporary race boat technology to guarantee superb sailing qualities, offered with every facility you’d expect from a luxurious bluewater yacht.

We hope you enjoy this edition of X-Yachting and another superb year of sailing.
