• X-Yachts Xp44

The ideal choice for sport, design, and performance

Our carbon masted Xp44 combines impressive performance with simplicity of handling, appealing to all the family. The comfort and luxury level beats any mainstream charter boat and it is on the same boat that sailors around the world excel in top racing events. Stability is the key principal and by using the most advanced build technology with vacuum infusion, carbon keel frame, hull and rudder design optimization and a unique carbon mast, the result is dynamic and easy going sailing under all weather conditions.

This model was the first of the Xperformance line to be launched, and was named Sailing World’s ‘Yacht of the Year’ in 2014.

A highly optimised hull shape offers exemplary performance in a range of wind conditions, on all angles of sail, under both ORC and IRC handicap systems. Key elements of the hull design include reduced upright beam and wetted surface area, while the transom shape ensures that as windspeed builds and the boat powers up, the overall waterline length increases for additional speed.

Comfort & Safety

Uncompromised Comfort

Space is luxury, five star outdoor living, safe by design.

Who said that true sailing performance comes only with plain unfriendly interiors. The X-Yachts design superiority hides behind the vacuum infusion technology on the hull construction, the carbon frame over the keel and the right weight distribution of all the fittings which let room -weight wise- to include all the necessary premium materials to create the feeling of a five star hotel, but this time on a boat.

The 3 cabin layout,  with two generously sized WCs/showers on a 44ft yacht is delivering lots of space everywhere, making living on board a truly relaxing experience. Ideally this yacht will comfortably accommodate 6 adults but if wished can sleep another two persons in saloon area and another two children or agile adults at the aft removable sea berths (check Layout & Accommodation details below ).

The well-proportioned saloon gives the yacht a spacious feel, but well positioned hand rails and good furniture placement ensure it is always safe and easy to move around no matter the heel angle.

Everything in the interior is a beautifully crafted in the known all time classic X-yachts way

The standard full teak bathing platform creates a perfect area for relaxing as well as easy access from the water or dinghy. In this way you can take full advantage of the swim stops or the overnight stays on one of the endless safe anchorages of the Greek archipelago.

The  cockpit space on board the Xp44 is not only designed to be functional and safe while at sea but also creates a luxurious outdoor living space. The twin wheels and recessed mainsheet track ensuring that the cockpit area is spacious and uncluttered.

A deck shower is fitted as standard. The high back rests not only offer protection while at sea but also create a comfortable seating area on the fitted cockpit cushions

The Xp44 incorporates 40yrs design experience of the Danish boat yard. A boat you feel sure to spend time on with your friends and family, even when the weather conditions are not ideal.

The vacuum infused epoxy, full sandwich hull saves important weight and it maximises strength and stiffness. All saved weight is used to increase the yachts’ stability enabling the crew to have a more relaxed time and to feel more safe and comfortable.

The carbon frame is glued to the inside of the hull and takes all the loads from the keel and mast. This keeps the yacht stiff, strong and safe. In the same aspect the lead bulb are encapsulated in a reinforced epoxy e-glass shell.

Sailing Performance, on Every Angle

Any boat can go well downwind with a decent sailplan and hull shape. The challenge for the Danish X-Yachts designers was how to achieve a big smile on the face of the skipper any time all directions of sailing are included in the route. And they did a pretty good job as you will realise from the first moments behind helm.

The Xp44 converts the Greek archipelago into a sailing arena waiting for you to explore and the Greek islands as your buoys. Easy you will consistently see two digit numbers in speed over ground when in broad reach with asymmetrical spinnaker and will be pointing incredibly high, with velocity-made-good unimaginable, compared to any other conventional yacht out there.

Flexible Sailplan, Easy to Handle

Taking full advantage of the carbon mast, we have engineered the sailplan of our Xp44 to be a perfect match to the sailing characteristics of the hull, to the different uses for holidays or racing and to the local Greek conditions. So all boats are fitted with:

• Main sail with two reefs, 1 full & 4 mid. battens, cruising laminate taffeta CDX
• Jib nr3.5, cruising laminate taffeta CDX, sheeted to tracks, adjustable from cockpit, with roller battens.
• Optionally asymmetrical spinnaker A2
• Optionally asymmetrical spinnaker A5
• Optionally a Code Zero, to get you going when close reaching in light wind conditions

Ultimate Sail Design

All X-Yachting tri-radial sails have been thoroughly engineered up to every small detail, in order to perfectly match the X-Yachts sailing philosophy and honour the true sailing performance of each boat separately. Countless hours of work have been dedicated locally in Greece, from our globally  recognised partners Quantum Sails and their talented sail designer and race winning sailor Pat Tahtatzis to design, test and execute this important challenge and the result is in one word: “Perfect!”

Accommodation

3 cabins / 2 wcs / sleeps 6 adults + 2 adults + 2 children.

The layout includes the master bow cabin with a double bed and an ensuite WC with shower, the aft starboard cabin with one more double bed and the aft port side cabin with split bed which can be converted (upon request during booking) to full size double bed. The aft head has an independent entry door from the saloon area so that it can be shared from both aft cabins.  So 6 adults can comfortably sleep without any compromise.

If the team is up for it, another two adults can sleep in the saloon area in the two sofas. Also in both aft cabins there are sea berths which we can install (as an option), on the sides over the main bed, where another two children or agile adults can sleep (one per sea berth). This feature is often used by couples with one child/teenager or so or young friends.

So in total there can sleep max 10 passengers on board which is also the max nominal capacity of the boat.

• By Mark Pillsbury
• Updated: June 5, 2014

When the breeze is on, just about any sailboat will get up and go, but it’s the light-air days that make you appreciate a well-designed and balanced hull, an efficient sail plan and a responsive rudder. It was the latter conditions that we were dealt the morning after the U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland, when we went for a test sail aboard the new Xp 44 from X-Yachts .

“Sailed beautifully, steered beautifully, everything was executed very, very well,” concluded Boat of the Year judge Mark Schrader afterward. The Xp 44 was the first boat we’d sailed after the show and it set the bar quite high for the remainder of the fleet throughout a week of sea trials.

Indeed, the entire three-judge panel left the Xp 44 that day extolling its looks, construction, gear and, most of all, the time each got to spend on the helm. To add my own two cents, I know I had a noticeable grin as I sat to leeward, leaning against the lifelines and steering with just my fingertips. In 10 knots of wind, the boat heeled slightly when close-hauled, with GPS speeds in the mid 7s. Twenty-four hours at that rate, and you could boast a fairly respectable day’s run.

X-Yachts has been building sailboats in Denmark for nearly four decades. Racing has long been in the company’s design DNA, and principal designer Niels Jeppesen has a long list of winners on his resume. But along the way, X-Yachts has also attracted the attention of a wider community of sailors, both for its Xc line of family cruisers and its Xp performance-oriented racer cruisers.

| | The Xp 44’s companionway hatch can be lowered all the way down, locked in place halfway up to prevent down flooding or be raised all the way to close the boat up. |

The Xp 44 comes standard with an aluminum mast and boom, though the boat we sailed had the optional carbon-fiber rig, sporting a full-batten main and 106 percent jib set on a below-deck Profurl furler. Unlike on some of the boats we saw that week, access to the furler, in case of a jam, was excellent. For sailing off the wind, an asymmetrical sail can be set on the optional carbon bowsprit and anchor roller, which this boat had. While the sprit gives the bow a sporty look, we did have to give the hook a little nudge when launching it.

Under way, I found it was easy to move about the cockpit, both between the twin wheels and forward to the open seating area and companionway. A large table with leaves is stored in a compartment beneath the cockpit sole so it’s out of the way when sailing but easily deployed in port. I appreciated the fact that seated at either of the twin wheels, I could reach out and grab an end of the split German-style mainsheet and the control lines for the traveler, which is embedded in the sole from coaming to coaming. On a blustery day, a short-handed helmsman could depower things quickly.

On deck, the optional teak provided excellent nonskid (teak comes standard in the cockpit) and there was no clutter of lines, since the mainsheet is led below deck and the jib sheets are kept tight to the cabin house. My one (minor) gripe would be that the ports in the cabin sides open outward and could snag lines or ankles. Belowdecks, though, they provide lots of ventilation when open.

| |_Belowdecks, the saloon is simple but elegantly finished. The fiddled desktop to starboard can be used as a cocktail table with seats to each side, or can slide aft for use as the nav station. _|

X-Yachts builds 100 to 110 boats a year and its construction methods are top notch. The hull and deck of the 44 are epoxy-infused foam-and-glass sandwiches, reinforced with carbon fiber in high-load areas. A carbon-fiber keel grid is bonded to the hull, as are the hull liner and furniture for added stiffness. The 44 is the first X-Yacht to use the carbon keel grid, which replaces a galvanized steel ring found in other models. The change was made to add strength and reduce weight. Weight savings are also achieved by using foam-cored composites in fabricating some of the furniture. The result is a sailboat that is light, strong and easily driven, but capable of standing to its canvas when conditions kick up. The Xp 44 is a sailor’s boat and the interior reflects this; it’s elegant, but at the same time, simple and functional. White fiberglass panels and light-color upholstery are set off by just enough teak trim to make the cabin seem rich and inviting. There are vented hanging lockers in the twin double aft cabins. A compact but well-outfitted galley sits to port of the companionway stairs, a head and shower (a perfect wet hanging locker) to starboard. Forward of the galley, an L-shaped dinette is big enough to seat a crew but the settee can double as a sea berth. To starboard a long settee can be broken up by a cocktail table or the table can move aft to become the nav station, rendering a second midship sea berth. A generously sized owners’ cabin with head and shower and a hanging locker is forward of the mast.

The boat we sailed was equipped with a 40-horsepower Yanmar engine, saildrive and two-blade Gori prop. Under power the boat backed well and motored smoothly.

The Xp 44 is probably not an entry-level boat. Construction of this caliber and first-rate gear all come at a price. The boat, as we sailed it, delivered to the U.S. East Coast, was north of $500,000. But as Schrader noted, this is likely to be a boat that someone is trading up to, and it would be a buyer who knows what he wants — quality construction and outstanding sailing performance — and who is willing to pay for it.

Turning to his notes, Schrader ticked off his entries in the Xp’s plus column: “Traditional boat using really, really good materials, well executed, fit and finish terrific.”

From a sailor’s perspective, what’s not to love?

X-Yachts XP 44

Flying overnight from the East Coast of the U.S. to Europe always gives me a through-the-looking-glass sense of being dislocated from time and reality. And so it was when I landed at the Billund airport in central Denmark last September after a hop across the pond from Boston and a layover at Amsterdam’s Shiphol airport. The airport, I was told, was built by and for Lego, whose corporate headquarters are nearby. A Lego airport makes perfect sense. I hadn’t slept a wink and was now, by mid-morning, on my fourth cup of coffee.

I was met by my buddy and host Lars Ostergaard who is with Gori Propellers and immediately swept into his car and driven two hours to a small marina somewhere in west central Denmark.  I am sure we talked the whole way, but of what I can’t recall. We found X-Yachts’ CEO Hans Viggaard aboard his XP-44 with his crew Flemming and they were more or less ready to go. They had been in a regatta the day before and had spent a long, amusing evening at the regatta party. They too were on their fourth cups of coffee.

It was a lovely fall afternoon with the promise of a good breeze. We unmoored the 44 from the marina and motored slowly down a narrow channel boarded on both sides by cow pastures and into the arm of a fjord that in turn empties out into the open waters of central Denmark. At one point we passed a herd of cows that was marooned on a small island next to the channel, but they seemed unperturbed when we used them as a turning mark.

Under power the 44 handled easily. The sail drive unit is far enough ahead of the high aspect spade rudder to provide a steady flow of water without any cavitation. In reverse you can maneuver very precisely, while in forward the boat steers like a sports car. The gearshift and throttle lever is mounted below the instrument panel and near your right foot so you can literally operate it with your toes. Once clear of the narrow channel, we gave the engine full throttle and were pleased to see that the 44 has a top speed under power of just over eight knots and a cruising speed of 6.5 knots at 2400 rpms. The feel on the twin wheels is active but not at all hard to control.

We anchored in the island’s lee for lunch in the cockpit. The cockpit table is easily mountable and demountable and stows away neatly under the cockpit floor while sailing or racing so it is not in the way of sheet trimmers and the afterguard. The cockpit has been designed for performance sailing with the twin wheels aft and the primary and secondary winches positioned for active crew work with both working and downwind sails. On both sides, there are good seats for the helmsman and tactician aft of the helm and the main sheet trimmer can sit right in front of the helmsman to play the sheet and traveler. For a cruising couple, you can have the autopilot steer so you can trim sheets from this same seat. The main sheet is double ended and leads beneath the side decks to the mainsheet winches.

After lunch we hoisted sails again and set off for some windward sailing. The XP 44 lives up to its performance bias by sailing very close to the wind and at good speed. With about 28 knots of apparent wind and one reef tied in, we were able to tack through about 85 degrees and could keep her moving at seven knots or better if I avoided slamming into the rolling waves.

The X-44 handled the gusting breeze and steep chop very well. Playing the traveler we were able to keep the boat fairly flat and that in turn helped to build speed. She felt like a thoroughbred leaping fences as she sailed through the waves.

Once we put the 44 through her paces up wind, we cracked off and ran for home. Again, the 44 showed her pedigree as she pegged 10 knots on a broad reach. This boat would be a lot of fun to race and will be a fine performance cruiser for a couple or family that enjoys sailing higher and faster than the rest of the cruising fleet.

SIMPLE ELEGANCE  X-Yachts has been building modern, fin keel performance boats since brothers Niels and Lars Jeppesen and their partner Birger Hansen founded the company in 1979. Among their successes on the race course include the world ¾-Ton Cup, the One-Ton Cup and the Two-Ton World Cup. Today, the company builds the XC or cruiser line and the XP performance line to serve both sides of the sailing market.

As noted above, the cockpit is set up for a full racing crew yet it is not stripped out or spare. Teak decks are standard in the cockpit and are offered as an option on the decks. The squared off stern is open to the sea but can be fitted with an optional folding swim platform. Two large lockers are built into the aft end of the cockpit.

The side decks are wide and uncluttered with the chain plates mounted outboard and the genoa tracks running along the cabin sides. The cabin top has a low profile so you can see over it easily from the cockpit and this gives the whole boat a sleek and elegant look.

DESIGN RULES I have always admired the Danish design ethic whether it is in modern furniture, architecture or dinnerware since it emphasizes simplicity, natural ingredients and modern trends.

The interior of the X-44, like all of the X-Yachts, has a natural, woody feel yet is thoroughly modern and functional. The boat has a three cabin layout with two quarter cabins aft and the larger master stateroom forward. The forward cabin has a large double V-berth and its own head. The after cabins are set up to be good double berths but the bunks can be split with lee cloths for offshore work and pipe berths can be added above the bunks so the off watch crew can always sleep to windward.

The interior styling uses white surfaces combined with traditional wood trim to achieve a modern “Bristol Fashion” look that provides the warmth you want in a floating home with the simple elegance you expect from a high end, Scandinavian yacht. Certainly, a family of four or five will fit comfortably aboard the 44 for extended cruising and a racing crew will find it serves their needs better than most boats in the fleet.

In the XP-44, form follows function, as it should, but that form is endowed with a distinct X-Yachts flare that beautifully combines the finest boat building techniques and the latest thinking on performance hull and rig design with a comfortable and modern cruising interior. It’s called the X-Factor.

MISSION STATEMENT “Hardening up onto the breeze proved a revelation: the mix of balance and speed upwind is impressive” Toby Hodges, Yachting World, August 2011 rowing up on the Danish coast, the brothers Lars and Niels Jeppesen were keen sailors, and inspired to enter the yachting industry by the local boatyard, Nimbus – at that time world leaders in sandwich construction. When X-Yachts was founded in 1979 by the Jeppesen brothers, together with their friend Birger Hansen, sandwich construction was their natural choice, as it offers the lightest construction allowing as high a proportion...

The making of an Xp 44 The Xperformance range has once again seen X-Yachts raise the bar for cruiser-racer design and construction very element of an X-Yacht bears the hallmark of quality. Each detail of our yachts is designed in-house to give the sailor a truly superior sailing experience, and we are proud that every boat to leave our yard in Haderslev, Denmark, carries with it a reputation built on three decades of high manufacturing standards, world-renowned safety credentials, intelligent design, and elegant craftsmanship. The Xp range includes our newest models and most cutting-edge...

The Xp difference The Xp 44 is built using technologically advanced materials and cutting-edge techniques trength, stiffness and a high ballast to weight ratio are key to creating yachts which offer superlative sailing pleasure and performance. X-Yachts is now the biggest production builder of high-tech yachts, using a vacuum infusion process. Every gram of weight saved in the Xp 44’s hull and deck allows a greater amount of ballast to be added to the T-bulb keel for improved stability, which is particularly important when sailing short-handed. It also enables the yacht to carry a higher...

Sandwich construction X-Yachts are formed of a sandwich construction, incorporating carbon into high load areas. The Xp 44 is made up of: a tough, UV and saltwaterresistant gelcoat outer; an outside skin of glassfibre laminated with ultralow viscosity epoxy; a high elongation M-foam core; then an inner glass epoxy skin. X-Yachts work in close co-operation with world-leading composites experts at Gurit (UK). Piet Heydorn, Technical Sales Manager (Strategic Accounts), explains: “Having worked closely with X-Yachts over the last decade on several projects we joined forces again for the...

Stability is a key principle behind the Xp 44’s design and build, resulting in dynamic sailing in all conditions -Yachts are designed by sailors, for sailors. Every X-Yacht is designed to perform superbly in all conditions and in all sail configurations. However, many of the very same factors which make the Xp models race winners, also ensure that they are enjoyable fast cruisers. Ballast ratio During the Xperformance design process Velocity Prediction Programs were utilised to optimise each yacht’s hull shape. This confirmed to the design team that it was key to slightly reduce the overall...

STEERING CONTROLS The steering system translates the Xp 44’s power into a responsive sailing experience. The rudder is fitted with high quality selfaligning roller bearings for reduced friction, maximum ‘feel’ and precise steering. Twin composite wheels are also designed for optimum responsiveness, with reduced moments of inertia compared to conventional steel or aluminium wheels. Heavier metal wheels dampen or reduce the ‘feedback’ felt by the helmsman due to increased inertia of the wheel not in use. The series connected steering cables are linked to the rudderstock via a large quadrant,...

T-BULB The Xp models carry a ‘T’ bulb keel. Until recent years this foil shape was more usually seen on custom racing yachts, but it also offers many benefits to a performance cruiser. Keels work on the same principles as an aeroplane wing: higher pressure on the leeward side generates lift, while the foil also prevents the yacht from slipping sideways. The problem for designers is that at the tip of a keel water escapes around to the low pressure side, creating vortices and turbulence which in turn create drag. A keel bulb reduces this effect. Meanwhile, above decks, the Xp models carry...

The powerhouse The rig, sail plan and deck layout are designed to harness the Xp 44’s easily controllable power he Xp 44 comes with two rig choices, a standard alloy mast or an optional carbon mast and boom. Both are designed in close co-operation with leading rig development companies and sailmakers, for strength, low-windage and exceptional control. Sail plans The Xp 44 greatly benefits from the fact that all Xp models were designed with two versions from the outset. The rigs and sailplans were developed in close association with leading suppliers including Southern Spars, Hall Spars,...

EXTERIOR FEATURES Dual-mode options Adaptability and a high degree of personalisation characterise the Xp models, with their unique multi-purpose bowsprit ustom options are commonly found on Maxi or Superyachts, but X-Yachts set new standards for production cruiser-racers with the Xp 44’s bowsprit and pedestal choices. Innovative bowsprit The Xp models were conceived as true dualpurpose yachts. The guiding principle is that the Xp 44 should be highly competitive when sailed with a full crew and also easily handled by a couple or family. It should be optimised for racing under major handicap...

EXTERIOR FEATURES On deck Every detail of the Xp 44 deck layout has been carefully considered for perfect ergonomics and style orm meets function with the Xp 44 deck layout, which balances clean lines and minimalist style, with usability, safety and security. Attractive teak decking is fitted as standard, with the option to extend the teak to include side decks and coach roof. The stylish finish is complemented by concealed passages for halyards, sheets and trim lines, together with flush fittings and details such as the folding Nomen mooring cleats.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

The Xp 44 interior is offered in a three cabin layout, which benefits from exemplary use of light and space. Ample natural light from the flush-mounted hatches and opening portlights creates a welcoming space throughout. A choice of high quality interior finishes allow owners to create an interior that is both elegant and practical, with high quality fittings. The secure galley is arranged in an L-shaped configuration for safe working at sea. A gimballed two-jet gas cooker and cool box are fitted as standard. Options include a three-jet cooker with oven and grill, 65-litre fridge and microwave oven. The saloon table also incorporates concealed storage for bottles and similar items, and is completely removable to facilitate crew movement and sail storage whilst racing.

Standard Layout:

The Xp 44 also introduced the Xp range’s adaptable new sliding navigation station, supplied as standard, which allows for additional seating or a forward-facing chart table. It is also offered with a fixed chart table option and wooden galley. The three-cabin layout includes symmetrical double aft cabins, a forward cabin with en-suite heads, L-shaped galley (now available in a new wooden finish option as shown above), additional heads accessible from the saloon, and spacious seating area around a removable saloon table. Flush-mounted hatches and stylish LED lighting creates a light and welcoming space, day or night.

The Xp 44 deck layout has been designed for ease of sail handling and manoeuvres whether racing or cruising. Standard features include a below deck furling drum (with furling line led back to halyard winch), low friction racing blocks, large self-tailing winches, and adjustable jib cars and tracks, while there is also the option of powered winches. All halyards and trim lines are concealed below deck and led aft to self-tailing coachroof winches. The main-sheet is led along the boom to the gooseneck, down to deck-recessed blocks, then below the side decks to dedicated winches within easy reach of the helmsman for safe, stress-free short-handed sailing.

Innovative Bowsprit:

The Xp models were conceived as true dual-purpose yachts. The guiding principle is that the Xp 44 should be highly competitive when sailed with a full crew and also easily handled by a couple or family. It should be optimised for racing under major handicap rating systems, but equally suited to a relaxed weekend cruise or a longer blue-water passage. Key to this adaptability is the multi-functional bowsprit, which offers four variations. The standard fixture is a GRP cowl with integrated anchor fitting. This allows for asymmetric ‘Code’ sails and similar to be flown from a fixed tack point, whilst ensuring the steel anchor roller with electric windlass are easily accessible. Two other popular options are a carbon bowsprit in either white painted finish or clearcoat black, with the additional option of an integrated anchor fitting. The sprit enables a full sail wardrobe of asymmetric spinnakers and reaching Code Zeros to be carried, particularly when racing under IRC. The anchor fitting is neatly concealed under the sprit. A fourth option of a plain GRP cowl is offered, particularly for boats which may race under ORC. In addition to all of the above, a symmetric spinnaker pole can be carried for further flexibility.
