Owner's Comments

"Having raced dinghies all my life, yet had a father who had a heavy cruising yacht, I knew I wanted a yacht that was very responsive, quick and brought a smile to my face when under sail. I had also heard of X-Yachts reputation for producing very high quality cruiser racers. When I heard of a very highly specified X-34 in excellent condition that was available I booked an immediate test sail. Having only sailed "Merlin" on her for a short time, in light airs, I knew she was a perfect fit for us. "Merlin" performs beautifully in gentle winds yet is completely exhilarating to sail when powered up. She is very responsive on the helm. Accommodation is as you would expect of a yachts built by X-Yachts. All the woodwork is beautifully finished and even after 11 years she looks in excellent condition down below.
One aspect of X-Yachts ownership that has delighted me is how very welcome I have been made to feel by the X-Yachts team down in the Solent even though I purchased "Merlin" second hand; albeit from an owner who was trading up to an Xc 45. The team has always been on hand with advice and help throughout. They treat owners as an extended family and will make every effort to ensure you are happy with the brand. To my mind X-Yachts live up to their formidable reputation in all respects."
