2017 X-Yachts Xp 50
The Xp 50 is a high-performance cruiser-racer which offers impressive pace and ease of handling. The longer waterline length of this model allows additional cruising features to be incorporated, as well as increased straight-line speed. In line with the rest of the Xp range, the 50-footer utilizes epoxy infusion build processes for improved stiffness with reduced weight, a carbon keel structure for maximum safety and ultimate stability, and a precision-molded composite keel with iron fin and lead bulb giving a high ballast ratio.
A choice of standard aluminium or optional carbon rig packages, and standard or deep draft keels, allows Xp 50 owners to optimize their yacht for cruising or racing, short-handed or fully crewed, inshore, offshore or blue water sailing.
The Xp 50 bowsprit features a removable stainless steel anchor fitting, neatly integrated as standard below a removable GRP cowling. Alternative options include a carbon bowsprit with or without integrated anchor fitting, for setting large asymmetric and code sails with ease, or a flush cowling.
A flush anchor deck hatch conceals a large 1500W anchor winch and also provides access to a separate sail locker with optional crew berth.
Concealed control lines run aft with a Maxi-style main sheet system for a clutter-free, functional and comfortable cockpit area. There is a choice of biminis and two-pole spray hood with opening window, together with the Xp folding cockpit table for flexible entertaining space. Life raft storage is integrated under the cockpit sole, while the transom garage accommodates a small inflatable tender. An electrically operated transom door also forms a teak-topped bathing platform with stainless steel swim ladder.
The Xp 50 interior is dominated by a feel of light and space, thanks to an additional skylight and unique opening coach roof window. There is ample storage (with underfloor tanks freeing up the concealed sofa storage), and 21 ft of easily accessible overhead lockers. A large U-shaped galley features an optional 22 gal front-opening fridge, larger top-loading fridge-freezer, slot for a microwave and indented worktop for safe cooking at sea. The saloon offers nearly 8 ft of extra-deep sofas in a sociable U-shape, plus an additional two-person seat.
The three-cabin, twin-heads layout creates a particularly spacious forward double cabin, with the option of additional pipe berths in the aft double cabins, or fore peak crew berth.
