2017 X-Yachts Xp 55
The Xp 55 is the flagship model in the Xp range, and raises the bar for performance sailing yachts. This model offers an unbeatable sailing experience combined with luxurious levels of comfort. Since its launch in 2013 it has impressed reviewers and sailors alike, with test reports praising the boat for its dinghy-like feel, fast pace, and the ability to sail the boat rapidly and easily double-handed.
Utilizing the same hi-tech construction methods as the rest of the Xp range, the Xp 55 has an impressive ballast ratio for her size for controllable, stable high performance sailing.
Although the largest yacht in the range, the Xp 55 is designed for ease of short-handed cruising. Concealed control lines are led aft, placing all sheets, halyards and trim lines to hand. A below-deck furling drum and longitudinal genoa tracks with adjustable cars are fitted as standard. The mainsheet is led aft for ease of handling from the cockpit, while a windward tweaker block system can be deployed when racing for both the main and genoa.
The Xperformance bow options include a carbon sprit of fixed tack point for setting a 2583 sq.ft asymmetric, while the sprit may also neatly house an anchor arm. The helmsmans position may also be customized with a choice of five pedestal options, including an extra-large instrument mount with potential for a dual control throttle.
The electrically operated folding transom can be deployed to create a teak-topped bathing platform with swim ladder, while the aft garage can accommodate tender dinghies approx. 8 ft in length, with dedicated life raft storage under the cockpit sole. There is also a bow locker with electric anchor windlass.
The Xp 55 now comes with a brand new lighter interior option made from Oak-Tech (O-tech) veneer (shown in picture gallery).
The Xp 55 interior offers an exceptional level of customization, with a choice of layouts each with three spacious double cabins and finishes. The master cabin includes an en suite, which may be fitted to port with the double berth central, or the double berth can be fitted to port with the en suite forward, for direct access to the fore peak and sail locker. The aft symmetrical cabins may be fitted with optional pipe berths, and there is a choice of a single second heads and wet room accessible from the main saloon, which also allows for an extra spacious galley, or twin en suite heads for the aft cabins.
Other options include a concealed lifting television in the saloon, and a choice of high quality materials including Corian galley worktop
