FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:

XPLORER represents a unique opportunity to acquire an immediately available, EU VAT paid, Mk 2 ‘Next Generation’ example of the European Yacht of the Year winning Niels Jeppesen designed X-Yachts Xc 45. Launched in May 2016, XPLORER was ordered by her experienced owner as a replacement for his Hallberg-Rassy 412 and fitted out specifically to take part in the World Cruising Club’s 2016 ARC where she finished 35th out of circa 150 monohull entrants.

With the equivalent of over Euro 200,000 in additional options and inventory items added to her standard specification, XPLORER is arguably one of the most complete 45ft performance bluewater cruising yachts on the market today. Her specification highlights include:- • Standard 2.20m keel • Epoxy system to hull • 3-cabin, 2-heads classic layout in full teak with dedicated forward-facing chart table and L-shaped • galley • Teak side decks • Hydrovane windvane self-steering • 6kw Fisher Panda generator • Upgraded battery charger with 2kw inverter • Retractable 24vDC bowthruster • Electric main halyard winch • Electric mainsheet winches • Furlerboom in-boom furling system • North sail Norlam battened primary sail package • One Sails furling asymmetric, furling staysail and storm jib • Twin carbon fibre spinnaker poles • Upgraded Raymarine instrument package including radar/chart plotter & AIS • Iridium satellite coms system with Red Box router system • Fusion multimedia centre with Bose speakers • 32” LED TV in saloon • Leather upholstery in saloon • Additional front-opening freezer • Washing machine • 16,000 BTU air-conditioning in saloon • 24vDC ventilation fans • Curved windscreen with sprayhood • Bimini • Dinghy & outboard • Full safety equipment package

Perfectly suited to effortless Med’ cruising or more serious blue water adventures XPLORER is now offered for sale to make way for a larger yacht.

OWNER’S COMMENTS:

We commissioned the build of XPLORER OF HAMBLE because we wanted a very high quality cruising boat with a great sailing capability. As fans of the practicality afforded by aft cockpit boats, we previously owned a Hallberg-Rassy 412, also ordered from new as this was the largest aft cockpit model offered by the brand. We particularly enjoyed her sporty sailing performance, but soon felt the need for more accommodation and storage for longer distances and in particular taking part in the World Cruising Club’s ARC trans-Atlantic rally. The well-proven X-Yachts Xc 45 was the obvious solution, especially as they had just launched the new and improved Mk2 version.

XPLORER OF HAMBLE has fulfilled her brief perfectly and we have enjoyed many miles of fast but comfortable, effortless cruising. Under sail she will easily get to 8 knots very quickly and copes with all sea conditions incredibly well. My wife gets seasick and while XPLORER is not quite a cure, her sea-kindly motion has made things quite a bit easier. Under engine, she effortlessly cruises at 7/7.5 knots at just over 2-2200 revs with her Yanmar 80hp returning impressive fuel consumption at around 4l/hr. If you want to get there more quickly and burn more fuel 8 knots is easily achievable.

We sailed XPLORER OF HAMBLE from the X-Yachts yard in Denmark down to the Med for the summer of 2016. What a shakedown cruise! The Bay of Biscay and the Gibraltar Straights posed some good challenges which she took in her stride. We then left for the Canary Islands to take part in the 2016 ARC. We made the crossing with a crew of four which was perfect. We had lots of light wind days and some big squalls but at no point was her comfort in question, thanks to her sailing capability, bright and airy interior, large and well-protected cockpit and ample water tankage (large enough that we felt no need to take on the complication and potential unreliability of a watermaker). Having arrived in Saint Lucia, we enjoyed a winter season in the Caribbean, where XPLORER’s air-conditioning really paid for itself in keeping the whole boat pleasantly cool.

After her return from the Caribbean (by ship), we have based XPLORER in the Mediterranean and my wife and I have since enjoyed cruising around Spain, the Balearics, Sardinia, Italy and France. XPLORER is extremely easy for the two of us to handle thanks to her multiple foresail options, in-boom furling and electric winches with all the lines led back to the cockpit. The in-boom furling is a fantastic system and we’d never have anything else in future.

We now have our eyes on doing the World ARC in a couple of years time and feel for that trip, where we’d virtually become liveaboards with more crew members and friends joining us along the way, we need something a bit bigger again. If X Yachts made an XC58 it would be perfect!’

MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:

One of the main differences between the Xperformance line and the new Xcruising line is the hull design. The Xc line, with its deeper hull sections, provides a greater interior volume for tanks, and other essential cruising equipment; a feature which also provides smoother sailing in all weathers.

The Xc 45 is designed and developed for long-distance cruising, incorporating the most significant X-Yachts qualities: powerful main engine in a well-insulated compartment, with a 3-bladed folding propeller; large fuel and fresh water tankage, all strategically located low and central in the yacht for optimum weight distribution; an immensely strong steel hull girder frame, taking the loads from the composite lead/cast iron keel as well as from the keel stepped mast.

The prominent feature of the deck is a clean, uncluttered layout with flush mounted, openable deck hatches and stainless steel dorades for optimum ventilation. The sail cabin on the foredeck accommodates space for the asymmetric spinnaker, fenders and the optional bow ladder, and provides good access to the anchor locker.

To access the swimming platform, the transom is hinged down into a horizontal position, whilst the aft deck is lowered to create a walkway. A combination of electronically operated actuators, struts and springs makes the transformation between closed and open cockpit an effortless task. Also integrated into the platform is a bathing ladder and a shower unit.

All sail handling is executed from the cockpit. Halyards, reefing and control lines are led to the winches on the coach roof; the mainsail sheet is led to dedicated winches at the helm. The main sail track has been moved out of the cockpit in front of the sprayhood, providing an uncluttered cockpit with free passage throughout.

The helmsman’s position provides an excellent view forward both during sailing and while manoeuvering in the harbour. The control instrument console ensures a good view of the navigation instruments and is also a secure handhold when moving around while sailing.

YACHTING PRESS REMARKS:

”If you thought this was just going to be another X-Yachts branded performance cruiser, think again. This is an impressive, genuine long-distance passagemaker” … “Seasoned sailors… looking to hang up their racing boots and sail with wives and families, need look no further.” Yachting World – UK

“Even though she is a true cruiser she can’t deny her roots. And exactly therefore the visual, attractive boat has got its best scores from the jury as it is seldom you see the compromise between comfort, security and performance succeed so well – and this already in the first attempt.” Yacht – Germany

Niels Jeppesen hits the target again. Born from the X-Yachts, the market leader for performance cruisers, this elegant and fast cruiser matches her goals. She is spacious on deck and inside and she offers ample storage space for your needs for long distance cruising maintaining the pleasure and the performance of a true sailing yacht. Yacht & Sail- Italy

“She is timeless and attractive with her retro-stern, classical high coachroof and old good looking sheerline. The aft cockpit solution and adequate hull beam have the advantage of creating fine interior volume plus a roomy cockpit. Interior styling in teak is inspired by theX-55 and feels fresh and modern.” Båtnytt – Sweden

History of Krasnoyarsk Krai

The first state in the territory of southern Siberia appeared in the 4th-3rd centuries BC. Ancient Chinese chronicles called it Dinlin. Around 201 BC, Dinlin state was defeated by the Hunnu (the ancestors of the Huns) - an ancient Turkic nomadic people who inhabited the steppes to the north of China from 220 BC until the 2nd century AD. To protect the country against their raids Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall of China.

After the defeat of Dinlin, the Turkic tribe of the Kyrgyz settled in Khakass-Minusinsk depression. In 840, Kyrgyz state destroyed Uighur Khanate and extended its power in Tuva and Mongolia. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Kyrgyz were conquered by the Mongols.

Since that time, the Kyrgyz ceased to play an independent role in the Asian international politics. But in the Minusinsk Hollow, the surrounding area of Krasnoyarsk and other northern territories, the Kyrgyz were the most powerful force and resisted the Russian Cossacks who were engaged in the conquest of Siberia. In the end they could not prevent the incorporation of these territories into Russia.

More historical facts…

Until 1629, the territory of present Krasnoyarsk krai was part of a vast region with its center in the town of Tobolsk. In the 1760s-1780s, Siberia began to be used as the main place of exile. In 1822, Yenisei gubernia (province) was established after the separation of Siberia into Western and Eastern. In 1863, 44,994 exiles lived in the Yenisei province representing 1/7 of the total population of the province. According to the 1897 census, 570,200 people lived in the province.

On December 7, 1934, Krasnoyarsk Krai was formed. The borders of the region were almost the same as of Yenisei gubernia of the Russian Empire. In 1991, Khakassia Autonomous Oblast being originally part of the region became a separate subject of Russia - the Republic of Khakassia.

On January 1, 2007, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenetsky) Autonomous Okrug and Evenky Autonomous Okrug were united in a single region called Krasnoyarsk Krai, the autonomous okrugs became Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenetsky) and Evenky districts.
