Sailed by Rodrigo Sanz and David Madrazo, Formula X secured an impressive silver medal at the 2026 ORC Double‑Handed European Championship, reinforcing its reputation as one of the most competitive yachts in the offshore arena.

A Strong Result in a Highly Tactical Championship

This year’s championship unfolded over two challenging races: a 37‑mile short offshore race, and the iconic 200‑mile long offshore race around Ibiza and Formentera.

With heavy rain at the long‑race start, light patches mid‑course, and a rapid final run toward the finish, teams faced conditions that demanded endurance, smart routing, and deep offshore experience.

In this complex environment, Formula X showed exceptional consistency—hallmark performance for a boat already proven on the world stage.

A highlight for the entire X‑Yachts family:
Rodrigo Sanz, co‑skipper of Formula X, is also one of our official X‑Yachts dealers in Spain.

His second‑place finish is not only a sporting achievement but a celebration of X‑Yachts expertise both on and off the water.

A Proud Moment for the X‑Yachts Community

We are immensely proud to see Formula X—an XR 41 with a world‑championship pedigree—continue to excel at the highest levels of offshore racing. Its success in Altea adds another remarkable chapter to the yacht’s story, now carried forward by a talented team deeply connected to the X‑Yachts network.
