Meet an X-Sailor |

Lisa - Xc 38

Gottfried Spitzer - X4.0

I am a racer by nature, and this attitude was pushing us hard in the direction of fast sailing boats. Even in cruising mode, I adore comparing our sailing performance with other yachts at sea.

John Haurum - X4.9E

I have had many great X-Moments, but the most recent one perhaps was when I sailed Flux back home to Skovshoved from Haderslev, singlehanded and where in the middle of a moonlit night I was flying my code 0 across southern Kattegat. That felt so great.

Rikard Roth - Xp44

I enjoy the way the boat accelerates and once the numbers are up it stays there with small manoeuvres on the wheel. I feel very safe in all weather conditions. With the new keel and rudder, I can easily handle 20 knots upwind without reefing.During the 16 years with different X-Yachts, we have been through many.

Per Bergmann - Xc50

Snorkeling with Manta rays or walking hand in hand in the sunset on a palm fringed beach, diving at the wall of sharks on Fakarava or sailing faster that a 75 feet one-of yacht, I could continue with highlight after highlight...
