The latest in a long line of winning yachts from the board of Neils Jeppersen is the new X-41 Performance Racer. She has been designed to perform as a One Design class an IRC offshore yacht yet still have sufficient comforts to make her a wonderful family yacht.
Launched in Denmark in late 2006 and now with almost 50 sailing worldwide the X-41 is heading towards ISAF recognition as a one design class, like her smaller sister the X-35OD.
Coming standard with Nordic Carbon mast boom and spinnaker pole a large diameter Carbon wheel and trim lines led to both sides of the yacht she is perfectly set up for racing. The backstay is trimmed by the famous “Magic wheel” system; the mainsheet is led under the deck to winches near the helmsman and main trimmer in the German configuration.
The racing performance of the X-41 is already impressive. The X-41 has had wins or podium results in 10 regattas around the world in 2007 as the list below shows. It’s no wonder she has been turning heads wherever she goes.
