33 FT INTERNATIONAL ONE DESIGN CLASS FROM X-YACHTS OF DENMARK DESIGNED BY NIELS JEPPESEN

X-99 One Design Class THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SELLING AND MOST ACTIVE 10 M ONE DESIGN CLASS X-Yachts A/S was founded back in 1979, and the first yacht to roll out of the doors of the factory in Haderslev, Denmark was the 8 m One Design »X-79«. The brainchild of young Danish designer, Niels Jeppesen, the X-79 was (and still is) a fast, simple, non type formed yacht that met with instant approval, and strong fleets were quickly established in Denmark, Germany and Sweden.
