X-Yachts

X-Yachts, founded in Denmark in 1979 by Niels Jeppesen and partners, builds performance cruiser-racers and pure racing one-designs, known for a galvanized-steel keel grid laminated into the hull for stiffness. Its X- and Xc-range cruiser-racers and one-designs such as the X-99, X-35, and X-41 built strong owner-driver fleets across northern Europe. The brand sits in the premium cruiser-racer tier alongside builders like Swan and Grand Soleil.
