The mast and rig design X-34 will sport a non-overlapping headsail configuration which makes life easier for the cruising oriented sailor; and, secondly, a modest
sail plan seems to give the best performance compared to the IRC or IMS rating. The calculation of the sail plan is taking account of the lack of overlapping headsails and is largely compensated for. Furthermore, it makes it possible to choose a lighter mast section, which adds to the yacht’s stability. As with all other X-Yachts designs, the spar maker will be carefully chosen - and each detail will be analysed and engineered to a degree, which will set the X-34 apart. Keel stepped spar, custom designed section, discontinued
rod rigging, tapered masthead and Spectra halyards are the most important key words relating to any X-Yachts model and will also apply to the new X-34. The interior design The interior layout is very traditional: two double cabins; a large main cabin with L-shaped galley; plenty of room for crockery, pots and pans; a dedicated nav. station, with room for
navigational and electronic equipment. Throughout the interior, only the best marine materials will be chosen. In designing the interior, considerable attention has been paid to creating a feeling of space and light. The two double-berthed cabins have been given white surfaced wardrobes and bulkheads. Engine and electrical specification The standard engine will be a 3 cylinder diesel 20 HP S-drive, and will be housed in an entirely sound-insulated engine compartment. An engine of 29 HP will be optional. Long-lasting cell batteries, automatic fuses and tinned cabling will be part of the comprehensive electrical specification. Launch - and delivery The launch and the first tests will take place early in autumn 2007; and a limited number of X-34s, mainly targeted towards the International Boat Shows this coming autumn, will be built in Haderslev. Series production is expected to begin in November 2007. Please feel free to contact your local dealer or X-Yachts in Denmark for further information. >
