o access the swimming platform, the transom is hinged down into a horizontal position, whilst the aft deck is lowered to create a walkway. A combination of electronically operated actuators, struts and springs makes the transformation between closed and open cockpit an effortless task.
Also integrated into the platform is a bathing ladder and a shower unit.

The compartment for the liferaft is hidden in the starboard part of the transom. It can hold charter regulation six person canisters, operated by a launch mechanism under the helms seat which, when needed, can be deployed quickly and easily. Good access from aft is also available.

With an optional integrated stern anchor davit, you can lower and deploy up to 50 m of warp with ease, using the remote control.

All sail handling is executed from the cockpit. Halyards, reefing and control lines are led to the
winches on the coach roof; the mainsail sheet is led to dedicated winches at the helm. Both the
standard furling forestay and the optional selftacking jib makes the sail handling an easy job.

The main sail track has been moved out of the cockpit in front of the sprayhood, providing an
uncluttered cockpit with free passage throughout. The optional stainless steel davits allow for
quick and easy launch of the yacht’s tender from the transom.

The helmsman’s position provides an excellent view forward both during sailing
and while manoeuvering in the harbour. The control instrument console ensures a good view
of the navigation instruments and is also a secure handhold when moving around while sailing.

The engine lever arm and control panel is mounted in a starboard cockpit
recess for safe and reliable control.

Every detail is designed to optimize the skipper’s control at the helm, and to help a shorthanded crew work safely.

total of four cockpit lockers, two forward and two aft of the steering wheels,
provide ample storage for ropes, fenders and cruising equipment. For halyards and control lines,
a dedicated locker is integrated in the cockpit sole of the companionway. Washboards are spring
loaded and are stowed in a cockpit floor recess, requiring minimum effort to open and close.
Stainless steel pushpits are with built-in seats. The Xc 45 comes in a 2 or a 3-cabin interior layout. Standard is the 3-cabin version
with two almost symmetrical aft cabins. Alternatively, there is the 2-cabin version, which features
a huge workstation cabin with access to the deep, enlarged starboard cockpit locker.

Two main cabin layouts are offered to suit your needs: a standard version with a dedicated Nav station.
Alternatively, a version with a shower compartment adjacent to, and with access from,
the standard head compartment on the starboard side.
The Xc 45 offers two alternative main cabin layouts: a standard version with a
dedicated Nav station, with ample space for navigational and communication equipment.
In front of this Nav station is a 190 cm sofa, where one of the back rest cushions
can be hinged down to form a small “drinks table”.

Alternatively, we offer a version with a shower compartment adjacent to,
and with access from, the standard head compartment on the starboard side.
This version features two comfortable armchair seats, separated by a fixed Nav table,
and has ample space for navigational and communication equipment by the aft seat.

The flush hatches are all fitted with recessed Oceanair blinds, with roller “blackout” and mosquito blinds;
and all main cabin trunk port lights are equipped with curtains from Oceanair.
