For UK X-Yacht Owners

The X-Yachts Owners Association (XYOA) was set up in 2011 by a group of keen and enthusiastic UK X-Yacht Owners to promote rallies, racing, social events and the sharing of information within the fleet.

While mostly based in the UK, the XYOA has a growing overseas membership and a number of owners keep their X-Yacht overseas.  The XYOA now has over 140 members from England, Scotland, Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, USA and Australia.  The XYOA hosts several UK based events throughout the year including sailing and shore based events.  To support owners regardless of home port, the XYOA has developed a new website and has an active members’ WhatsApp group to provide a strong virtual network of owners.  Members support one another in a range of ways including helping to fix technical issues, sharing information on passages, and we hold a crew register of members willing to make passages with fellow members.  The Association also offers its members a range of exclusive offers, with discounts on items such as sails, electronic equipment, winches and insurance.

The Owners Association has a reputation for running fun, friendly events where like-minded X-Yacht owners can share their enjoyment of sailing these wonderful yachts as well has help exchange tips and ideas on everything X-Yacht related.  To find out more and how to become a member, please visit www.x-yachtsowners.co.uk.

For Dutch X-Yacht Owners

The Dutch Owners Association (X-Yachts Club Nederland) was founded in 2013 and has over a hundred members. While most  members are based in the Netherlands, 3 are based in Belgium.

The Club organizes a wide range of activities with a view to increasing your pleasure in sailing and your knowledge of the  X-Yachts. For example:

  • Trimming courses on your own boat
  • Manoeuvring lessons on your own boat
  • MOB training
  • First aid training
  • X-Cup, a regatta accessible for the whole family
  • Project X, members meet in a random port somewhere in the Netherlands
  • Weather course
  • Routing course
  • Splicing modern ropes
  • Biennial visit to the yard of X-Yachts in Haderslev Denmark

Most of these activities are organized in close association with the Dutch dealer.
Apart from being useful and fun, you get the chance to meet other owners and exchange tips and ideas on anything related to  X-Yachts.
