Cruising World – Boat of the Year
Winner 2016
Best Full-Size Cruiser Under 50-Feet
The Xc 45 was the first model in the Xcruising range to be launched, and was named European Yacht of the Year, praised for her combination of cruising comfort, performance under sail and responsive handling. As with all the Xc models which followed, the Xc 45 incorporates the X-Yachts steel hull/keel girder for strength and resistance to grounding, with deck and sail layouts designed for ease of handling when sailing two-up.
Following extensive feedback from a large group of Xc owners, as well as our own experience over the last 10 years, 2019 will see the launch of the ‘X-Yachts 40 Years Anniversary’ edition of the Xc 45. The ‘Anniversary’ edition of the Xc 45 builds upon the success of the Xcruising range with an updated specification implementing improvements from feedback gathered from a fleet of over 300 Xc yachts worldwide.
From this edition of the Xc 45 and onwards, the Xc models are built using epoxy infusion in the hull. X-Yachts hulls are post-cured or “oven-baked” to improve structural properties of the composite. Epoxy resin has higher mechanical and thermal stability than traditional polyester resins. Added value to this production method is weight reduction.
Exterior upgrades include new optional jib self-tacker design, composite bowsprit and new colourways.
Interior upgrades include Nordic oak furniture and new upholstery types, cushion design and new interior fittings throughout.
Systems upgrade highlights include new tank displays showing remaining volume in litres and upgraded ambient lighting.
X-Yachts has developed an online web-configurator for the Xc 45 and the Xc 38, enabling you to design your own version of the yacht. Configure your own dreams.

OCTOBER 2015
MK II modellen zijn vaak marketing tools om dezelfde boot terug in de markt te plaatsen. Toen X-Yachts in 2007 plots de kaart trok van de nieuwe Cruising line in 2007 keken heel wat one-designzeilers en de winnende performance zeilers erg verbaasd op. De Xc 42 en de Xc 45 bleken echter absolute trendsetters die nu, acht jaar later, een update kregen.
