The new X-34

FROM X-YACHTS OF DENMARK

A baby sister to the X-37 and X-40

The X-34 is being designed, developed and specified to reach a high level of quality for the enjoyment of the performance oriented sailor and his crew or family. She is the smallest member of the Performance Cruising range, enabling us to offer a “baby sister” for the X-37 and X-40. The philosophy behind the X-34 Performance Cruiser Hull design Great attention is paid to constructing smooth and harmonious hull lines; a stylish and fine entry; a relatively wider waterline beam than the X-35 One Design, to increase the hull stability and to locate the centre of buoyancy relatively further aft, to enable the sail plan to include an "under deck furler system"; as well as the heavy cruising oriented items, which often are located in the aft lockers. Deck design The cockpit has been carefully designed to incorporate “an easy to launch” life raft, resting under the floor behind the helmsman’s position. The X-34 has a large diameter wheel steering, with room for a magnetic steering compass, as well as for a stainless steel "grab rail”, which can accommodate instruments such as a chart plotter screen. On each side of the companionway, the halyards and control lines are operated by self-tailing winches and held by robe jammers. The halyards and control lines are deck recessed. For optimum ventilation below deck, all the coach roof port lights are openable, as well as the openable port lights facing the cockpit, from both the head compartment and the port aft cabin. Stainless steel handrails are fitted to the coach roof. The anchor box holds up to 50 m of chain or anchor warp and a deck integrated bench can accommodate a 700 W electrical anchor winch (optional), hidden below the deck hatch.
