FOR SALE – XO Classic REFIT 2025: High-end sailing yacht, performance and comfort combined
If you are looking for a sailing yacht that is both high-performing and easy to handle, the XO Classic is the ideal choice. The result of collaboration between builder Alexandre Genoud and designer Paolo Bua, this model combines elegance, robustness, and technical innovations. Designed for a pleasant indoor navigation experience, this sailing yacht offers a unique driving experience, even for the least experienced sailors.
Main features:
- Original and high-performance design: a day boat offering the comfort of a cruiser and the responsiveness of a racing dinghy (type 5o5).
- High-quality construction: Hull and deck in carbon, manufactured using a vacuum infusion process at the specialized yard "Grand Largue Composite" in Caen, combining rigidity, strength, and lightness.
- Excellent performance: Its inverted bow allows for a very good upwind angle and good stability in short, steep waves. The wide stern promotes stability and acceleration in downwind conditions. The ratio of the keel weight to total weight (50%) gives the sail excellent rigidity, enhancing the yacht's responsiveness.
- Simplified maneuverability: The deep rudder and the absence of backstays and shrouds greatly facilitate maneuvers.
- Cruising comfort: The XO Classic can be sailed in "cruise" mode for a relaxing and comfortable experience. The cabin allows for the organization of four berths.
- High-end equipment: First-class fittings with Harken winches and pulleys, Dyneema ropes, and high-quality hardware.
- Hydraulic lift keel: With a draft of 1.80m, which reduces to only 25 cm, this boat is perfect for shallow waters and allows for easy "beaching". It can be transported (lightweight for its size and width less than 2.5m) and launched from a ramp (no crane needed).
- Customization possible: This model has been designed to adapt to the sailing projects of its owners in the Arcachon basin.
