The Xc 45 was praised for her combination of cruising comfort, performance under sail and responsive handling and won the prestigious title of “European Yacht of the Year 2009” in the “Luxury Cruiser” category.
Designed and developed for long-distance cruising, the Xc 45 takes many of the qualities of the performance X-Yachts such as rod rigging and fully encapsulated keels, but also has many features that make it ideal for offshore passage making:
A powerful engine in a well insulated compartment, with a 3-bladed folding propeller
Large fuel and fresh water tanks, all strategically located low and central in the yacht for optimum weight distribution
An immensely strong steel hull girder frame, taking the loads from the composite lead/cast iron keel as well as from the keel stepped mast
Deeper hull sections provide a greater interior volume, giving more storage and space for essential cruising equipment, a feature which also provides smoother sailing in all weathers.
