X-Yachts A/S, which is one of the largest boat
yards in Northern Europe, produces about 200 yachts from 30
to 73 ft annually. The yard was founded back in 1979 and is
still run by the 3 founders.
A constant increase in
quality and ambitions has made X-Yachts A/S one of the
leading yards of sailboats in the world, and the demand for
X-Yachts has increased considerably over the
years.
X-Yachts A/S has 22 importers spread all over the
world, and the export makes a total of about 95%.
Today X-Yachts Performance Cruising Line
consists of 15 models between 30 and 73 feet which all
share the same design and construction philosophy. That is,
to have the most comfortable, easily handled yacht possible
which, in the right hands and with the right sails and crew
is capable of winning the most prestigious regattas against
the toughest competition. Proof of this philosophy lies in
the victory of X-Yachts (IMX 38 and X-332) in the European
IMS Championships 3 times in the last 5 years, beating in
the process custom one-off IMS racing machines.
X-Yachts' passion for supplying the market
with yachts of remarkable design and quality remains
unchanged since the earliest days of the X-79 and X-102.
What has changed is the yard's experience and know how in
management and application of appropriate technology -
clients buying their 5th or 6th X-Yacht bear testament to
the consistency of design philosophy matched with
refinements in production techniques and materiels.
