X-37 is a 37 ′ 2 ″ / 11.4 m monohull sailboat designed by Niels Jeppesen and built by X-Yachts between 2004 and 2007.

Drawing of X-37

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Shallow draft: 1.7m/5.58’ Deep draft: 2.3m/7.5’

Blessed with a hot summer northerly and a pedigree European yacht, David Lockwood finds the perfect conditions to test out the latest in performance cruisers

You don't have to be Sherlock Homes to see that the Danish X-Yachts are made from the best ingredients. The gorgeous X37 heaving before me on the outside arm of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron beams in the midday sun. Stealing my gaze are the stainless-steel Anderson winches, polished aluminium deck hatches and matching jammers, teak decks, large leather-bound wheel, rod rigging and hydraulic backstay. Down below I discover a different but no less exclusive world.

Put all this eye-candy on a well-bred hull with pretty lines and pedigree and you have a Euro yacht with poise. Sadly, however, there is no wind to check on the X37's performance. We shoot the breeze, so to speak, and waited on the clubhouse deck.

Was that faintest puff of wind on my face? Or was that the waiter walking past? The Australian flag starts stirring. Then in she comes: a hot, summer northerly to fuel an afternoon of champagne sailing on this Danish blueblood.

In fact, the arrival of this new Danish X-Yacht was as timely as the northerly wind: at the time of writing, Denmark's Crown Prince Frederick and his wife, 'our' Mary, were in Sydney for the best of three matchraces on the harbour.

THE X-FACTOR Back in Denmark, X-Yachts is turning out about 300 yachts a year. This is the first X37, a new model released in July last year and destined to be campaigned in Spain in the IMS 670 Class during the coming Northern Hemisphere season.

The X37 is not the first X-Yacht in Australia, however. Far from it. X-Yachts are a known quantity here (think IMX 40, for example). More recently, in the last Hamilton Island Race Week an X-43, White Satin, came second in IRC. While there wasn't an IRC certificate, the X37 is destined to rate well. The importer expects it will rate similarly to a Beneteau 36.7.

The X-Yachts range spans the 37, a 40, a 43, a 46 and a 50. A special 35OD is on the way to Australia, while the factory works on a bigger 55 and impressive 70.

 There was a big change to X-Yachts about 18 months back when they cleaned up the lineup and released a new range of yachts. Thankfully, the yard's excellent designer, Niels Jeppesen, who is among the 25-year-old company's founders, remained.

The 37 is one of the 'performance cruisers', designed to satisfy owners with racing ambitions. Having said that, the owner of this boat sought nothing more than a beautiful yacht. And that it is. But it is testament to X37's raciness that it still sailed so well in my hands and, moreover, with the furling headsail, lazyjacks and boom bag, teak decks, anchor in the bow, and a load of bits and pieces squirreled away in lockers.

The quest for speed is helped by low stretch, low windage standing rod rigging; light and powerful twin-spreader alloy stick; North sails; weight savings from foam-cored construction; and the amount of sail this yacht can fly. The Sail Area Displacement Ratio is in the racer category.

Yet the yacht is very stiff on the ballast/displacement ratio front. The standard 1.98m keel carries 2715kg of the boat's 6400kg displacement. The wide beam amidships also points to good stability and the angle of vanishing stability comes in at –84.12.

STRONG DANE Along with speed, the X-Yacht touts strength and is built to operate in 7m waves and winds to 55 knots. On the harbour in choppy water the yacht felt stiff thanks to fully glassed-in bulkheads.

Besides Divinycell foam-cored construction, the hand-laminated hull and deck feature biaxial E-glass for strength. The keel-stepped mast, shrounds leading to chain plates, and keel are attached to an internal galvanised-iron grid system that takes their loads and has a central lifting point. While it must weigh a tonne or more, the frame keeps its weight down low in this moderate displacement yacht.

The rudderstock is made from heavy-duty tapered aluminium with needle bearings in the hull and deck. The steering, meanwhile, is a Jefa rack-and-pinion system that is delightfully light and balanced but with feedback should you be overpowered. All through-hull fittings are bronze and flush.

The local agents added some icing of their own by way of the extended teak decks, concealed windlass, an electric primary winch (on a 37-footer, no less) and a big cockpit table, plus electronics. The owner (ex-Bavaria) sails shorthanded with his wife and he didn't want a yacht that was a handful to sail. The X37 is a delight to sail.

DECKED OUT The yacht's cockpit is commodious for a cruiser-racer. All lines are fed through Frederiksen blocks back to the cockpit, with 40ST halyard winches and polished-alloy Spinlock clutches on the cabin tops and 46ST primaries mid-cockpit including the optional electric that can also be used to hoist the main. The headsail is a North's polyester furler with belowdeck drum.

 The mainsheet system ahead of the wheel and the button for the electric primary winch are within reach of the skipper if needs be. There are both rough (4:1) and fine (8:1) trim sheets for the 43.7sqm dacron North sail. The hydraulic backstay made flattening the sail plan a snap for beating close hauled.

The Frederiksen genoa tracks are accommodating of an optional self-tacker if you wish. The cars have a control line or puller leading back to the cockpit. Most of the lines and sheets are Spectra, including that for the single-line reefing system.

The solid transom has a handy boarding platform, swim ladder and optional hot/cold handheld shower. Internally, the ergonomics are superb, with comfortable moulded teak bumrests and good support when heeled over.

There is storage in a lazarette for the gas bottle and access to the emergency tiller, and storage in two cockpit lockers including a cavernous area instead of the optional third cabin.

I noted padeyes here and there for hooking up your harnesses when passage-making, a binnacle with compass, moulded facia for mounting electronics over the companionway, and a very, very clever dodger that stows flat to the deck and has complimentary lines when assembled, as we did after just a few minutes, during heavy weather.

The rod rigging means the shrouds are quite a way inboard and, with wide side decks, stainless steel handrails, a good grade of non-skid on the house, and teak toerails, this is an easy yacht to get around. The anodised Lewmar hatch frames and cleats sure look the part.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME The X37 comes in two or three-cabin layouts. This was the two-cabin, single-head version, with that aforesaid extra deep lazarette for storage and a standard satin-finished light mahogany joinery that is a cut above the production pack.

Moulded liners with integrated halogen lights, grabs and fiddles make for a clean but safe interior. The hatches have integrated shade and privacy screens. The pull-off fiddle on the huge dinette lets you fold the table for better thoroughfare.

Opposing sofas/sea berths each measure 200cm long and with the dinette assembled you have the space for entertaining. It is certainly a comfortable yacht for a family complement of, say, four. With the saloons you could sleep six if you had to.

The navigation station is accommodating of electronics and charts with a first-class wiring plan and at-a-glance water, fuel and volt meters. The boat has Shorepower, 240V outlet at the nav station and heat-exchanger/240V hot-water heater.

 There is a 172lt stainless-steel freshwater tank, the option of more water, and 80lt fuel tank for the freshwater-cooled 29hp Yanmar diesel motor with Saildrive. I noted easy access to the dipstick, excellent sound insulation, about 7 knots motorsailing speed and, wow, an extractor fan in the engine room for venting.

An L-shaped space that will work well at sea with a strap, the starboard-side galley boasts a 105lt top-opening fridge with Coolmatic 12V unit under the twin sinks, two-burner gimballed stove/oven, Corian counters, deep fiddle rails and loads of cupboard space and drawers.

Trendy catches, quality hinges, reading and down lights, clock, barometer, storage nooks, cabinetry, and abundant hatches for fresh air add class and comfort. The starboard aft cabin has an offset double bed, only two small hatches for ventilation, but headroom at the foot of the bed. There are shelves and a decent wardrobe with timber vents.

Up front, the spacious master cabin beckons with an even bigger double bed, dresser seat and hanging lockers. Back aft, the head is a moulded white insert on the port side with vanity, manual loo, wet locker and cabinet. The hot/cold mixer doubles as a handheld shower. Watch the 40lt holding tank, however, it won't take long to fill.

SAILING DAZE That the wind had filled in to the point of whistling through the local yacht fleet's rigging was good news, indeed. While the X37 is certainly agile, it relished the breeze. We broad reached to about 8 knots, did 7–7.5 knots upwind and 6.5 knots downwind with the jib poled out as though on a twilight mid-week race to nowhere.

The handling was predictable and, when sailed flat, the little yacht finds its own path. While the X37 wasn't performing in a race sense, it was performing for its owner.

Definitely a premium European product, the unplanned Australian/Danish collaboration looks set for a long future. Performance cruisers are where the market's at and Australians are increasingly looking overseas for inspiration.

X-Yachts X-41 review: from the archive

Yachting World

  • May 2, 2021

First of all, the X-Yachts X-41 is not simply a larger X-35.

x 37 yacht review

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

Although they are clearly from the same stable, Niels Jeppesen has given her a deep T-keel for stability.

But the X-Yachts X-41 carries a comparatively lower sail area than her sister.

The reason for this, according to Jeppesen, is that the X-Yachts X-35 was designed specifically to establish a class in the Mediterranean, requiring plenty of sail to cope with light conditions.

Choosing to market her as a one-design has also let X-Yachts fit her with all the toys as standard – carbon spars, wheel and some tidy line handling arrangements.

The deck layout of the X-Yachts X-41 rewards close scrutiny.

There’s an abundance of tweaks to be made, with barber haulers for the head sail and spinnaker sheets and powerful outhaul, cunningham and kicker purchases led to camcleats on both sides of the coach roof.

The mainsheet is led under the side decks to the aft pair of cockpit winches, avoiding any trip or chafe problems for crew sitting out.

A powerful traveller runs the full width of the cockpit within easy reach of the helm or the main trimmer.

Both mainsheet and traveller lines are continuous, the traveller line routed through small blocks clipped to the guard wires to keep it to hand.

Backstay adjustment is through X-­Yachts’ patented Magic Wheel, as fitted to the IMX40, IMX45 and most recently the X-35.

This impressive system uses a huge drum below decks to provide most of the purchase, allowing rapid backstay adjustment simply by pulling a lot of line.

It’s tidy and quicker than hydraulics and is routed conveniently through a small tube which emerges just below the centre of the traveller.

The innovations don’t stop there. X-Yachts have fitted Harken’s dual ­diameter Quattro winches to the coachroof, which allow fast sheeting of the spinnaker sheets via the large ­diameter drum or a lower gear by simply shifting the line up to the main drum and self-tailer.

X-Yachts-X-41-review-helm-credit- X-Yachts

The big carbon wheel was comfy to use from either side of the cockpit and offered a good view forward.

Lifting the GRP cover below the helmsman’s feet reveals another clever detail – the quadrant is immediately abaft the helm and as close to the centre of the wheel as possible, allowing short cables to be used and eliminating slack.

All good in theory, but does it work on the water? In a word, yes.

The X-Yachts X-41 is a thoroughbred racer which is already showing her class – the team won the first race of the Warsash Spring Series by 15 minutes on corrected time.

We sailed the boat twice; once for the second race of the series, then later for a detailed test.

On the first occasion, the wind ranged from 30-38 knots, giving us a fast run to the course and race organisers the jitters.

A stiff performer

They cancelled the race, but skipper Jochem Visser suggested we should go for a sail anyway.

It was a bumpy ride upwind under reefed main and jib, conditions that the hull’s steel reinforcement, which picks up rig and keel load, is designed to counteract.

Turning for the spinnaker run, we drove the boat hard, surfing down waves to reach speeds up to 15 knots.

The 12 crew were necessary to sail and balance the boat in these conditions and proved that the large cockpit could work well when fully crewed.

The second session couldn’t have been more different – bright sunshine and light winds averaging six knots.

X-Yachts-X-41-review-in-action-credit- X-Yachts

The crew of 12 were essential for spinnaker work and helpful weight on the wind.

Sailing upwind and sacrificing a little height for power, the X-Yachts X-41 turned in a more than respectable five to six knots, often matching or exceeding the true wind speed.

She responded well to crew placement, delivering much better helm balance with plenty of weight to leeward.

The big carbon wheel was comfy to use from either side of the cockpit and offered a good view forward, and there were plenty of brace points for the helmsman whatever the steering position.

Helming was finger-light yet positive – the boat responded well to small corrections and the steering system showed no slack.

Even in these light airs, feedback was good and she proved easy to keep in the groove.

X-Yachts-X-41-review-in-action3-credit- X-Yachts

Upwind in 30 knots: the X-41 proved a good all-rounder.

Tacking is fast and straightforward thanks to the non-overlapping rig.

Bearing away and hoisting a symmetric spinnaker, we nudged seven knots, reaching as the wind filled in slightly. Again, she proved positive to handle, rewarding puffs of wind with good acceleration.

Under engine the 41 performed well, cruising at over eight knots and reaching just over nine knots flat out.

As can be expected from her narrow keel. the turning circle was tight – 1.25 boat lengths – and performance astern was secure and positive.

Although primarily a racing boat, the X-Yachts X-41 still offers a few cruiser comforts.

The cockpit is a good width for bracing and deep enough to feel secure, and has two good lockers for fenders and lines plus a large lazarette accessed through the floor behind the helm.

The racing foil on the headstay can be replaced with roller-reefing gear with the drum mounted below deck. But the really neat concession to cruising is the anchor box.

X-Yachts’ system lets you fit an anchor well and windlass which can be entirely removed when racing, using a fully sealed hatch to prevent water ingress. It’s not a quick job, admittedly, but impressive nonetheless.

Light and welcoming

The interior layout is similar to that of the X-35, but the extra length has allowed a few welcome changes, notably a larger galley, forward-facing nav station and doors and lockers for the aft cabins.

Yet the first impression below is of simplicity – there’s a light, welcoming feel thanks to teak being restricted to necessary joiner work, a generous use of white and lots of opening lights and hatches.

Starting at the bow, there’s a zippered, mesh panel which opens into an empty bow cavity suitable for sail stowage, but would be filled with the anchor box when cruising.

The forecabin has a conventional triangular berth, its split mattress easily moved to allow access beneath the berth.

The hatches which offer access to this stowage space are too narrow to accept anything but the smallest sails, but provide plenty of stowage for other objects.

Other stowage is provided by a large locker with hanging and shelving space. Both aft cabins feature a similar locker.

X-Yachts-X-41-review-heads-credit- X-Yachts

The heads and shower are basic, but practical.

Forward and accessed through the saloon, the heads is large enough for showering and has a large locker behind the usual mirrored doors ­ the space below the sink is left open.

The saloon has two long settees either side of a drop-leaf table.

As on the X-35, the seat backs hinge upwards, giving access to the full width of the cushions when sleeping.

It’s a shame no extra cushion is provided, so that the hinged section can double as an upper berth.

That said, because the boat is able to sleep ten, few people are likely to find this restricting.

X-Yachts-X-41-review-saloon-credit- X-Yachts

Plenty of white makes a bright interior.

The settee cushions and their plywood bases also hinge up to allow access to the water tank to port and diesel tank to starboard, plus limited stowage. Grab handles below the portlights run throughout the saloon.

A large nav station is at the foot of the companionway, with plenty of space for paper and electronic navigation.

Stowage is in a stack of four drawers in the pedestal and there’s even a handy pen box under a flap in the chart table top.

Opposite, the galley is large enough for standard cooking and has good stowage above the stove.

However, less successful is the stack of four drawers adjacent to the stove – with an inside width of only 9cm, you have to wonder how useful they will be.

The simple aft cabins have a large locker each and berths that are mounted low in the boat, with little space beneath.

A pipecot is also fitted should you need to squeeze three people into each cabin.

The engine box, which protrudes into both cabins, can be readily removed, as can the companionway steps, to provide superb all-round engine access.

For sheer adrenalin, the X-Yachts X-41 takes the honours. She’s fast and fun, and rewards careful trim and handling with clear returns of speed.

The big rig, deep draught and high sail area/displacement creates a stiff, responsive yacht that can put a smile on your face and some results on the board.

My guess is that X-Yachts X-41’s will spend most of their time in racing mode.

That said, just as many a sports car driver has never been near a track, several owners of the 40 or so boats already pre-sold admitted that they never plan to race at all.

First look: X-Yachts X 4.3

Toby Heppell

  • Toby Heppell
  • September 29, 2022

The first, second generation X-Yacht in the 'Pure' range, the X 4.3, has big boots to fill following a universally loved predecessor.

x 37 yacht review

Product Overview

The new version of the X 4.3 has some pretty big boots to fill. Not only had X-Yachts sold more than 100 of the yachts, she impressed many on launch, with Yachting Monthly’s own Graham Snook stating that she was ‘One of the best boats I’ve ever sailed’.

That is not a huge surprise from the Danish yard, which has always had an impressive reputation when it comes to the sailing characteristics of their yachts.

Back in 2016 when that boat was launched it was one of the first in a new line of models in the X-Yacht’s ‘Pure’ range. Over the years that range has expanded to several models. But, significantly, this is the first second generation of a ‘Pure’ X-Yachts boat.

The hull shape has been redesigned to carry max beam further aft, which provides a wider transom and cockpit. The cines running aft finish much higher than previously, which should help increase stability when heeled but keep wetted area down when in lighter winds.

There have been tweaks on deck too and the rig is slightly taller than the previous generation. Layout below remains relatively unchanged, however.

X 4.3 specifications

COMMENTS

  1. X-Yachts X-37: Little Sister with Attitude

    The X-37 joins her new family of X-Yachts' Performance Cruiser range. Many of the new design features already introduced into the X-40, X-43 and X-46 are also part of the X-37 specification, filling the gap between the X-362 and the X-40. X-37 will be available in two interior classic layouts: - 2 cabin version with 1 or 2 heads. - 3 cabin ...

  2. X37 or J109, this is the question
