The X-43, launched in spring 2003, is spearheading the new
generation of
X-Yachts Performance Cruisers.
She appeals to the cruising family and the racing crew
alike with her high level of standard equipment including
anchor windlass, German mainsheet system, stainless steel
anchor, Andersen winches and gas springs on all cockpit
lockers and sprayhood.
GETTING THE DETAILS RIGHT
The cockpit layout will appeal to the cruising family and
the racing crew alike. The steering system utilising needle
roller bearings, and a direct connection to the rudder,
results in making the X-43 feel smooth and responsive on
the helm.
She accelerates quickly in light airs and remains stiff
in a breeze, making her a comfortable, effortless yacht
to sail. Features that contribute to this include a long
mainsheet traveller which runs low down in the cockpit.
The double-ended mainsheet system is led back to either
side of the cockpit under the side decks, while the halyards
and other associated control lines are led under the coachroof,
which has an integrated recessed sprayhood, and then back
to halyard winches either side of the companionway hatch.
ELEGANT DESIGN FEATURES
X-Yachts design department has spent a great deal of time
working on details that at a first glance are not evident.
Details such as the recessed seals on lockers, clever and
practical door restraints, high-quality seals on the fridge,
stainless steel hinges and non-slip elegant looking flooring
are a few examples.
The interior quality is of usual high X-Yachts standard
using the finest teak veneers and with superior finishing
throughout.
The beautifully designed hull portlights will make the
X-43 stand out, and allow additional natural light into
the aft cabins and the saloon for improved comfort.
COMFORT AND PLEASURE AT SEA
The interior volume and layout will allow a family of up
to eight members to enjoy their cruising. The engine installation
will meet the same requirements as the larger luxury yachts
like the X-Yachts 73, which results in the highest standard
of noise insulation, with forced cooled air ventilation
via sound insulated piping.
