X-Yachts Xp 44 - 13.30m Sailing yacht

X-Yachts Xp 44 Overview

The XP 44 is the newest model in the XPerformance family: it was not available to dealers until early summer 2012. It replaced the 43rd model in the range, which had lasted in production for nine years. The public interest in the 44th was so great that 22 boats were ordered by customers only on the basis of drawings and announcements - before the appearance of a live yacht at «exhibitions» or from dealers. She has also served as a base for creation of the model Xr 38 - she as a whole repeats the general lines of the 44th, but has no separate sailing locker inside the bow.

The Xr 44 has excellent sailing characteristics with a score that is more advantageous than that of a number of serious competitors - for example, the Swan 45 or Farr 45 - with almost nothing inferior to them either on full or sharp courses. All this has led to her being nominated for Yacht of the Year in 2012.
