The Xc qualities

Deeper hull sections
High stability
30 Years of know-how
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 weather conditions.
 
The Xc 42 is designed and developed for long-distance cruising, incorporating the most significant X-Yachts qualities: powerful main engine in a well-insulated compartment, 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 classic transom

Retro style classic look
Spacious aft deck
Swimming platform
This is where we have hidden some of the best Xc features. The positively raked transom
makes it different from most other cruising or racing yachts, and gives the Xc yachts a classic look.
Utilizing this classic style allows a spacious aft deck by connecting the side decks.
This is very practical for cruising and ensures safety in heavy seas.
 
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.
With an optional integrated stern anchor davit, you can lower and deploy up to 50 m of warp
with ease using the remote control.

Deck layout

Clean and uncluttered
Flush deck hatches
Mainsail track in front of sprayhood



The prominent design of the deck is a clean, uncluttered layout with flush mounted,
openable deck hatches and stainless steel dorades for optimum ventilation.
The anchor locker provides space for the standard 50 meters of chain.

All sail handling is controlled 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.
Both the standard furling forestay and the optional selftacking jib means sail handling is an easy job.

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 optional stainless steel davits
allow for quick and easy launch of the yacht’s tender from the transom.

Control at the helm

Two steering wheels

The helmsman’s position provides an excellent view forward whilst sailing and manoeuvring in the harbour.
The control instrument console ensures a good view of the navigation instruments and is also a secure
handhold when moving around whilst sailing.
 
The engine lever arm and control panel are mounted in a starboard cockpit recess for safe and reliable control.
 
Every detail is designed to optimize the skipper’s control at the helm and to help a shorthanded crew work safely.
 
A total of four cockpit lockers, two forward and two aft of the steering wheels, provide ample storage for ropes,
fenders and cruising equipment. For halyards and control lines, a dedicated locker is integrated in the cockpit sole
of the companionway. Washboards are spring loaded and are stowed in a cockpit floor recess, requiring
minimum effort to open and close. Stainless steel pushpits are with built-in seats.

INTERIOR


Create your own interior

Standard 3-cabin

The Xc 42 comes in a 2 or a 3-cabin interior layout. The 3-cabin version is standard with
two almost symmetrical aft cabins. Alternatively, there is the 2-cabin version, which features
a huge workstation cabin with access to the deep, enlarged starboard cockpit locker.
 
Two main cabin layouts are offered to suit your needs: a standard version with a dedicated Nav station.
Alternatively, a version with a shower compartment adjacent to, and with access from, the standard

Hand-finished
Exquiste details

The interior of the Xc 42 comes with white surfaced structural bulkheads and recessed teak stripes
for a panel look as standard.
 
The furniture joinery, including the galley; Nav station; sofa fronts; cabinets; shelves;
wardrobe fiddles and grab rails, are all made of high quality varnished and satin finished teak,
hand-finished by our specialist carpenters. White soft vinyl lining is integrated
into the moulded deck headliner, as well as on all visible hull top sides. As an alternative to the modern look,
you may prefer varnished teak bulkheads.
 
The detailed workmanship, the carefully selected teak veneers and the furniture fittings built
to the highest standards, mirror the ambition and attitude of X-Yachts. Eight openable cabin trunk portlights and
two openable deck hatches, as well as the sliding hatch opening, offer excellent and natural ventilation and daylight.

where one of the back rest cushions can be hinged down to form a small "drinks table".
 
On the other hand, we offer a version with a shower compartment adjacent to, and with access from,
the standard head compartment on the starboard side. This version features two comfortable armchair seats,
separated by a fixed Nav table, with ample space for navigational and communication equipment by the aft seat.

DRAWINGS & DIMENSIONS

Sailplan

Discontinuous rod rig
Hydraulic backstay
Selftailing winches

The Xc 42 sail plan has been developed with long distance cruising in mind.
Safe and enjoyable ocean passage requires a very flexible sail plan, utilizing easily
adjustable head sail areas. By incorporating the option for a 140% overlapping Genoa
as well as an optional inner forestay (without the need for additional runners),
and the option for a bow sprit (A-frame), the Xc 42 is seriously ready for making sailing
a memorable and positive experience.


A
Mainsail is either standard conventional “slap reefing” with reefing lines led to cockpit for both luff and leech reef points, or optional “in-boom” furling mainsail.

B
Optional Inner forestay heavy weather jib.

C
Headsails are either 140% overlapping Genoa, 108% overlapping Genoa or 94% selftacking Genoa.

D
An asymmetric spinnaker can be flown from the optional
A-frame, which brings the tack point clear of the forestay.
