Freed from the constraints of racing and rating considerations X-Yachts could explore every avenue in pursuit of their latest and best ever all round high performer

Imagine a yacht that’s thrillingly fast and fun to sail but isn’t shaped and built according to the constraints of a rulebook. A responsive, rewarding yacht that sails and handles brilliantly in a wide variety of wind and sea conditions, on all points of sail, and hasn’t been optimised just for windward-leeward courses. One with more than ample space, comfort and contemporary style inside but without any compromises made at the expense of sailing balance or performance. A yacht that can easily handle the wildest weather you’re ever likely to encounter, but also excels at fair-weather family cruising. That’s the design DNA of X-Yachts’ Pure X range.

The new X5⁶, launched into the icy waters of Baltic Denmark in the depths of December for initial sea trials, is designed, engineered and built to take this ongoing evolution of the perfect all-round performance cruiser to a whole new level. Thomas Mielec, X-Yachts’ director of design and engineering, was on board for the sea trials and sent good news back to the yard.

‘We came back not only cold and with homework to do, but also with a really good feeling and a great deal of pride that the entire organisation behind the development of the X5⁶ has definitely succeeded in creating a magnificent performance cruiser well prepared for providing future owners with superior sailing pleasure,’ he wrote. ‘Even though we’ve only been able to test in fairly light to medium wind conditions, X5⁶ hull number one has already provided us with a distinct big-boat feeling of safety and comfort, where almost everything can be operated by the touch of a button if you want.

‘This of course also means that vast amounts of technical equipment need to be tested, adjusted and calibrated to make sure everything works as designed and engineered. The focus for the first tests has been sail handling, sail balance, rig trim, alignment and tuning the twin rudder steering system.’

‘The idea behind the X5⁶ is to complete the Pure X range,’ explains Kraen Nielsen, the hands-on chief executive of X-Yachts, who was also on board for the sea trials. ‘There was a real demand for a boat of this size. It offers a lot more space so you get a really big, nice cockpit to work in or to enjoy yourself in. You get very spacious aft cabins, so it’s a boat that delivers something different to the previous boats in the range. We’re convinced that the X5⁶ will exceed our expectations.’

One stand-out feature of the X5⁶ (and indeed all X-Yachts) is epoxy infused hull construction. This technique gives very precise control over the glassfibre laminate, allowing it to be optimised for stiffness and strength while saving weight, and the use of epoxy gives a better end result than the polyester or vinylester resins that most builders use: not just stronger but much less prone to distortion in the topsides over time. The entire hull is then cured and baked in precisely controlled conditions to further optimise its material properties. In the X5⁶, all weight saved by this advanced construction technology is used to increase the yacht’s stability.

While many (some would say most) cruising yacht brands are focused on maximising their appeal to novice sailors, X-Yachts is aimed squarely at connoisseurs. The Pure X range offers easy handling, of course, but a great deal of emphasis is placed on delivering the best possible sailing experience. Boatspeed and aesthetics are very important but balance, helm response and ergonomics are paramount – and many small, carefully considered details add up to a more enjoyable time on board not just for the helmsman but for the whole crew.

Some of these design details have been gradually evolved and perfected over many years while others are introduced with every model added to the range. A new one on the X5⁶ is the sprayhood bay, recessed into the coachroof and covered with a pair of front-hinged doors on gas struts that leave the coachroof totally flush – and the hood completely hidden when not in use, subtly but substantially improving the clean, uncluttered aesthetic of the streamlined, lowprofile cabin top, which can be beautifully finished in luxurious laid teak. A large expanse of solar panels can also be recessed into the coachroof, giving enough charging capacity to keep the yacht’s batteries topped up throughout a long-distance ocean passage while preserving the X5⁶’s clean silhouette.

The outboard-mounted wheel pedestals are another nice touch, enhancing the sense of wide-open space in the stern, with integrated foot chocks and elegantly curved teak helm seats. An optional electric mainsheet traveller can be recessed completely below deck, eliminating a trip hazard whilst allowing precise control of mainsail shape. There’s also the option of a two-seater pushpit bench that doubles up as an ideally located liferaft stowage bracket. The coaming-mounted primary and secondary winches (with seven rope clutches on each side) are close enough to the twin helms for easy operation when sailing singlehanded, but with ample elbow room for a trimmer to work comfortably and efficiently when the boat is fully crewed. Capacious rope bins in the aft ends of the cockpit bench seats keep all the rope tails tidy and are almost invisible. Forward of the winches, the whole cockpit is entirely free of ropes and other potential hazards, with plenty of secure, comfortable space for passengers (and off-watch crew) to stretch out and relax.

X-Yachts puts a huge emphasis on designing and refining the sailplans of its boats, believing (and they’re not wrong) that it’s one of the most important design features. The marque’s racing pedigree can be felt as soon as you grab the wheel, but the other key parameter for the sailplan of the X5⁶ and its sisters in the Pure X range is flexibility. Up to three foresails – 88% self-tacking jib, 100% genoa and huge code zero – can be kept furled and ready to go. The self-tacker sheets to a track neatly recessed into the cabin top to preserve the clean, uncluttered aesthetic. The genoa is sheeted to a pair of longitudinal tracks with its sheets and car adjusters led aft and ducted under the coachroof.

The rig itself is 11/12 fractional on a tapered, triple-spreader mast with discontinuous rod rigging, which is deliberately over-specified – a feature common to all X-Yachts – which makes it extremely stiff as well as super strong, promoting good sail shape and trim while reducing stretch and preventing the mast from pumping whilst sailing upwind into a heavy sea.

Below decks, the clean, timeless design aesthetic that you’d expect in a premium Danish yacht is obvious at a glance. A more careful look reveals excellent ergonomics, lots of welldesigned stowage throughout, and the fine craftsmanship in all areas that defines the brand.

One important feature is invisible – and indeed imperceptible, but that’s the point. The engine compartment is sound-insulated to superyacht specification using a heavy 8mm solid rubber layer, 50mm of noise-deadening rockwool and covered with perforated aluminium plating. All openings are sealed to eliminate noise.

‘The design team has focused on Nordic interior styling with a lot of attention to detail like the ambient lighting, small pieces of leather, and in general you get a great atmosphere from the daylight that comes into the saloon,’ Nielsen explains. ‘This is for sure a spacious boat but we would never compromise sailing pleasure so every thought goes in the direction of combining good living on board with good sailing capabilities and this boat is absolutely no compromise.’

X-Yachts X 5.6 : Luxus trifft Leistung – Fotos vom Test der neuen X 5.6

Jochen Rieker

 ·  06.12.2021

X-Yachts hat im Modellprogramm ordentlich aufgeräumt. Am unteren Ende, das vor nicht allzu langer Zeit noch bei 33 Fuß begann, geht's inzwischen erst bei 40 Fuß los. Aber auch oben herum fand eine Bereinigung statt. Das bisherige Flaggschiff, die 2016 erstmals vorgestellte X 6.5, tritt in diesem Jahr ab und macht einem neuen, deutlich kleineren Flaggschiff Platz: der X 5.6.

Die 16,58 Meter lange und 4,90 Meter breite Yacht ist wie alle Modelle der sogenannten Pure-X-Reihe ein Crossover; früher hätte man Cruiser/Racer dazu gesagt. Sie lässt sich je nach Wunsch ihrer Eigner stark individualisieren – vom mehr genussorientierten Langfahrtboot bis zum modernen Performance-Cruiser, den man künftig fraglos auch an der Startlinie zu einigen Hochseeklassikern wie dem Rolex Fastnet oder Middle Sea Race sehen wird.

Nur ein Indikator für die Breitbandigkeit der X 5.6 sind die drei verfügbaren Kielvarianten: Im Standard geht die Dänin 2,90 Meter tief, wahlweise aber auch nur 2,50 oder satte 3,30 Meter. Mit 18 Tonnen verdrängt sie fast sieben Tonnen weniger als die ebenfalls neue, wenngleich längere Swan 58 – bei gleich schwerem Ballast. Sie segelt also steifer und braucht erst später das erste Reff.

Wir konnten sie gemeinsam mit den Kollegen der Jury von Europas Yacht des Jahres vier Tage vor dem spanischen Port Ginesta südlich von Barcelona testen, bei Bedingungen zwischen 5 und 20 Knoten Wind, mal in glattem Wasser, mal bei konfuser See. Dabei gab sie sich bestens kontrollierbar, gutmütig und für einen Luxuskreuzer dieses Formats angemessen hurtig. Mehr über ihre Qualitäten demnächst in der YACHT und auf YACHT TV.

Hier schon mal die ersten Eindrücke vom Test. Und wer danach diesen "Will-ich-unbedingt-haben"-Reflex verspürt: Bei 1,15 Millionen Euro geht der Spaß los. Happig? Nee! Das ist in dieser Liga und Qualität tatsächlich ein fairer Startpreis.

The jaw-dropping X6 from X-Yachts – a super-stylish step up for this Danish builder

• Toby Hodges
• December 12, 2016

Toby Hodges takes the highly customised hull number one of X-Yachts new 65-footer for a test sail and found a yacht with untold potential for idyllic onboard life. Photos Richard Langdon.

The X6 is a bold design: a muscular, small superyacht blessed with powerful lines; a yacht that will place most others of her size firmly in the shade. The flagship of the new X range (the 41ft X4 was launched simultaneously – see full X4 test report ), the X6 is a completely different animal, inside and out, from X-Yachts Xp performance cruiser range , designed to be a semi-custom cruiser with a healthy dose of testosterone and raw contemporary appeal.

“I have never walked into a boat before and fallen straight in love with it like this,” said our veteran photographer Richard Langdon, not one normally prone to exaggeration. The formidable natural light illuminates a mix of finishes including bare teak, clear-coat carbon, stainless steel and walnut – all modern, light, and fresh looking. “It’s sensational,” I agreed.

It should be noted however that this first X6 was built in collaboration with its British owner and is customised with a multitude of optional extras, including the carbon and leather trim, the brushed-stainless galley surfaces and the backlit feature bookshelf. He has also opted for a carbon Hall Spars mast and custom-made roller boom, which, together with features like her large hull portlights and bespoke dinghy stowage – there is room to stow a RIB facing forward on a roller-launching system that hinges down, as the aft deck lifts up – help identify her as very much a scaled-down superyacht.

Twin rudders are unusual for X-Yachts. The X73 in 2001 was the first model to have twin rudders – making room for the tender garage. “We don’t do it on smaller models because of prop walk,” Jeppesen explained. “But at this size you have a stern thruster.”

The X6 has very similar hull lines to the X65 I tested in 2009, seven of which were produced. She has a similar price and specification but her interior design is a quantum leap ahead.

Interior panache

To descend the bare teak steps of the shallow companionway is to witness a new dawn for X-Yachts. Yes we’ve seen a lot of raised saloon models before, but this has lashings of added panache. Stand in the saloon and you are at the perfect height for near-panoramic views, including that most prized angle looking forward over the flush foredeck. The amount of natural light in the saloon and galley is phenomenal.

The interior of the X6 sparkles with natural light, her design and layout outshining all other recent production yachts.

Lift up the floorboards in the saloon and you’ll find high-calibre engineering: X-Yachts’s galvanised steel grid immediately imparts peace of mind; the tanks and batteries are all centrally positioned for optimum weight management and the hoses and wire looms are housed in metal cradles to keep them neatly together and out of the bilges. The plywood soles are thicker than those used in my house. I’m told that matching the walnut veneer in those lengths was somewhat tricky. The predominant trim is light oak Alpi again, but this has been brushed when bare for a more tactile finish.

By providing a modular layout to the three-part accommodation plan, X-Yachts can offer a variety of options. The test boat had a four-cabin format (two Pullmans and two double cabins). The choice of an extra Pullman forward, reduces the size of the sail locker and removes the space for a forepeak crew cabin. The aft Pullman is ideally placed for a professional crew next to the walk-in engine room and galley, although the addition of an en-suite here would make it more practical for crew use.

The telescopic coffee table in the saloon is an odd, over-complicated device with four diagonal folding leaf sections to seat a maximum of seven. Combined with a small cockpit table, this restricts the options for hosting any kind of slap-up meal from the wonderfully light and large galley, the size and quality of which is a real selling point of the boat. It has a phenomenal amount of locker space and cold storage, plus space for extras like a trash compactor, coffee machine, dishwasher, and microwave.

The owner’s cabin forward, with over 7ft of headroom, is again well lit and inviting with a distinct impression of luxury. The double aft has a corridor-style entrance that extends under the cockpit sole. It then widens out to reveal a generous cabin with a large hull portlight and private access to the adjoining heads.

More design features: stylish porthole-style barometer and temperature displays

Twin rudder power

Anyone familiar with X-Yachts will not be surprised to read that this is a slippery, powerful beast. In just 5–7 knots of breeze the X6 will almost match the wind speed to windward. Add a couple of knots in a puff and she heels elegantly and clocks 7.5–8 knots. When it piped up to 14 knots we were slicing upwind pointing 30–35º at 8.5 knots, even topping nine if we footed off 5º.

It was a potent and commanding performance. The inhaulers make a notable difference, adding five degrees to her pointing. An X-Yacht is consistently a delight to sail upwind, but the twin rudder grip offered on the X6 encourages you to push a little offwind. In 10–15 knots and with the Code 0 unleashed we maintained a steady 9.5 knots at 55–80º(apparent). This felt to me more steady than exhilarating and I noted excessive drag off the leeward rudder and wash off the windward rudder in this mode. Jeppesen said they had been tuning the rudder angles to get the best orientation. The loaded helm when reaching was probably more down to poor trim, as it was a nicer, more neutral feeling going upwind.

There’s no doubt that the X6 will make a formidable passage-maker. And if the wind does dip below 5 knots, the standard Yanmar 160hp engine with three-blade Flexifold propels her at 7.4 knots at 1,700rpm, consuming just 5.6lt of diesel per hour.

The optional carbon arch keeps mainsheet lines out of the cockpit.

Cockpit arch benefits

For a large, powerful design, she’s a calm yacht to sail, thanks in part to a very smart, well thought-out deck design. The sheets for example disappear below deck aft, reappearing at two Harken 980s abaft the cockpit. The furlers for staysail, genoa and Code 0 are all under the deck and I like the versatility her cutter rig provides. The mainsheet is led from the arch forward through the boom and back to winches.

Personally I’m a fan of the cockpit arch. It’s a look reminiscent of the showpiece spoilers that typified the dream cars of the 1980s, but an arch also helps to create a cockpit enclosure, a sense of privacy and protection, and keeps the boom clear. The custom-made furler boom on the test boat has a manual override so the deck winch can be used in case of any power problems. This UK owner was also having a fixed bimini fitted with solar panels on top.

The lengthy but shallow cockpit has a small table and a dedicated liferaft locker by the companionway. Abaft the benches is a pair of winches either side, with storage beneath the side decks for running rigging tails. A generous sail locker swallows fenders and furling sails, plus there’s a chain locker with a wash-down hose and windlass.

Conclusions

The X6 is right in the sweet spot for this new X range, as the 55-80ft sector is where the interior can shine too. I was excited about the edgy, muscular looks of this new age for X-Yachts, but it was the interior of this yacht that blew me away. It’s a prime example of how, if you’re prepared to pay for the extras, the step up to this size level brings the sort of customisation and systems design more typically associated with the superyacht world.

This mid-60ft sector has traction, so new designs have to stand out. The modern styling of the X6 is certainly backed up with the performance X-Yachts is renowned for, although the increased size, load and power level, can lead to a certain ‘loss of feel’.

X-Yachts has a facility in north Poland with 110 workers where the initial hull and deck lay up for both the X4 and the X6 is done. The rest of the assembly, including quality control, takes place in Haderslev, Denmark.

The owner’s cabin forward has 7ft headroom and plenty of natural light through the hatch and the portlights.

The smart bookshelves on the forward bulkhead have indirect lighting.

Helm controls include a stern-thruster.

A nice mix of contemporary design and semi-custom finishing.

Coming Next Year: Tiara Yachts 56 LS

• By Yachting Staff
• September 9, 2024

Tiara is planning to premiere the 56 LS at the Miami International Boat Show in February 2025.

Tiara Yachts in Holland, Michigan, is planning for the debut of its 56 LS at the Miami International Boat Show that’s scheduled to take place February 12-16, 2025.

The Tiara 56 LS is the largest, most ambitious of Tiara’s outboard models to date—the brand’s first quad-outboard model, with four 600-horsepower Mercury Verado V-12 engines. Top speed, according to Tiara, will be about 50 knots, also making the 56 LS one of the fastest boats that Tiara has ever built.

“The Luxury Sport formula has been a successful one for Tiara, elevating the day yachting experience with versatile social zones and luxurious amenities. The 56 LS builds upon that foundation. Everything is amplified on this boat,” Tiara Yachts CEO Tom Slikkers stated in a press release. “I’m confident our customers are going to be just as excited as we are about this addition to our portfolio.”

Exterior spaces on the 56 LS include a galley overlooking the cockpit, where two module options—for entertaining or fishing—are available as the owner’s choice. Port and starboard hullside terraces expand the beam by more than 6 feet. At the helm, the integrated electronics package includes Garmin systems.

Belowdecks, two staterooms and two heads can sleep five people for overnight or extended stays.

“Our LS line has been a favorite of our customers, and we’re eager to showcase this new addition to our portfolio,” Andrew Bartlett, director of design at Tiara, stated in the press release. “Our customers will find multiple features on board that allow them to enjoy the water, entertain family and friends, and comfortably stay overnight. As outboard models continue to have a resurgence in the boating industry, we’re excited to introduce another Tiara to the market.”

How many other models are in Tiara’s Luxury Sport line? The 56 is the fifth. The four other LS models range from 34 to 48 feet length overall. The Luxury Sport line is one of four series the builder offers. The other three are the LX, LE and EX.

Test af X-Yachts sexede X5.6: Vild luksus og sejlglæde

X-Yachts flagskib inden for Pure X-serien, X5.6, testede vi i op til 10 m/sek. Vi skulle nok have rebet det gigantiske storsejl, men med to ror i vandet var der styr på båden i hårde pust. Dét, som slog os, var, hvor lydløst der var i den 4,9 meter brede kahyt under sejladsen.

En 56-fods drømmebåd. Det vil de fleste kunne skrive under på. Chefdesigner Niels Jeppesen og X-Yachts har skabt noget af en turbåd med X5.6'eren, der er den største i turserien Pure-X, der kom til i 2016.

Det blæser, da jeg træder om bord ud for Årøsund, hvor den 17,25 meter lange båd er sejlet til fra Haderslev.

Med Andersens gigantiske el-spil får vi med tryk på en knap hevet det eksklusive North Sails 3Di-storsejl ud af danske Mainfurls rullebom.

Et par minutter senere er det grå sejl i top på Exxon-kulfibermasten på langt over 20 meters højde. En af X5.6-bådene, der er i ordre, leveres også med en alu-mast fra John Mast i Greve.

Bommen sidder højt og sikkert over det flade, indbydende teakdæk, hvor de mange luger naturligvis er flushmonteret.

Så lydløs i selv hårdt vejr

Så kommer regnen. Jeg lader de finske bådjournalister komme til først, og går under dæk med en italiener, der er stærkt interesseret i X5.6'eren. Han spørger smilende, hvad jeg synes om den danske luksusbåd, der nu krænger, så vi skal holde fast, så vi ikke rutsjer ned i læen af den 4,9 meter brede båd.

- Dét, som slår mig, er, hvor lydløs den er, forklarer jeg, mens jeg kan se, at vandet slår på skrogvinduerne.

De små bølger skærer den 18,1 tons båd let. Vi er om bord på en stor båd, hvor man kan fornemme, at der er kontrol over tingene. Der er da også en blykøl, der stikker 2,9 meter som standarddybde.

Masten giver sig heller ikke, den er nemlig spændt fast med rodrig. Heller ikke skroget giver sig, da det er vakuumstøbt i epoxy. Det kan siges med et ord: Kvalitet.

Tre solgt til Danmark

Og kvalitet koster. X5.6'eren har da også en startpris på lidt over 9 mio. kroner. Det er ikke ligefrem et beløb, som en lønmodtager kan præstere, men man har vel lov at drømme. Faktisk er der solgt tre X5.6'ere til Danmark ud af et totalsalg på syv både i maj, hvor vi testede båden.

Køberne, også dem i Israel, Tyskland og Norge, har alle planer om at sejle langt. Krydse Atlanterhavet, cruise rundt i Middelhavet og bade. Hive den lille RIB ud fra det store agterrum og sejle ind til kysten, mens båden ligger for anker.

Mange af køberne får derfor installeret aircondition og generator i bådene. Men det er jo oppe, man helst vil være, ikke mindst hvis solen skinner. Cockpittet er dejligt bredt, og helt agter er placeret en bænk i midten, hvor to personer kan sidde. En god detalje.

Der er to forstag på X5.6'eren, og vi ruller heavy-fokken ud, da det blæser op. Vi skulle nok også have rullet storsejlet ned, da der er pres på roret i pustene, og båden krænger pænt, men der er helt styr på båden, da der er to ror i vandet.

Vi mister derfor aldrig kontrollen på roret. Farten på halvvind i 8-9 meter per sekund nærmer sig de 10 knob, og krydsfarten er lige omkring 8 knob. Det er en turbåd, men med stor sejlglæde, hvilket er X-Yachts' DNA gennem over 40 år.

Kogeø med Quooker

Om læ er der selvfølgelig virkelig god plads. Du kan få båden i otte forskellige indretninger og med forskelligt trævalg. Testbåden, der er solgt til en nordmand, er med lys eg, som bliver mere og mere populært. Den er med to agterkahytter. Et toilet agter og et toilet fremme ved forkahytten ses også.

Båden mangler ikke noget, hvis man er på langtur, eksempelvis er der opvaske- og vaskemaskine.

Båden fås med kogeø eller et lukket pantry. Kogeøen virker som en rigtig god idé, ikke mindst når båden krænger, så er der noget at støtte sig til, men naturligvis er det primært smart, når der skal laves mad. I vasken i kogeøen kan man få kogende vand med en Quooker, og fryserummet hæves elektrisk.

Præcis tankmåling med Victron

Den tekniske medarbejder John Morsing fortæller, at der i det hele taget er utroligt meget elektronik i X-Yachts' både i dag i forhold til for 20-30 år siden.

Og nu har man på X5.6'eren, sammen med Victron, udviklet et powermanagement-system. Et system, hvor skærmen er med touch som på en moderne mobiltelefon.

- Tank-monitoreringen tager højde for tankenes facon, den er kalibreret i ti steps på vand- og dieseltanke, så visningeb er meget præcis, forklarer John Morsing, der også demonstrerede lysdæmpning otte forskellige steder på X5.6'eren.

Konklusion: Tjekket og destinkt storbåds-følelse

Vi giver Thomas Mielec, chef for Design og Engineering hos X-Yachts, ret om den nye X5⁶:

- Båden giver en destinkt storbåds-følelse med sikkerhed og komfort. Næsten alt er muligt at arbejde med ved et tryk på en knap, hvis du ønsker det, forklarer Mielec.

Hvis du vil bestille én, kan vi oplyse, at en X5⁶ sejlklar koster 9,29 mio. kroner med dansk moms. Fuldt udstyret med al tænkeligt udstyr vil prisen ryge op på 12 mio. kroner sejklar.

Tiara’s Newest 56-Foot, 2400 HP Boat Is a Speed Demon in a Full-Feature Package

Tiara just joined a small club of builders that make center consoles over 55 feet. but this new boat distinguishes itself from competitors through luxurious details and smart design., michael verdon, michael verdon's most recent stories, this new 72-foot yacht’s new hybrid propulsion system is the first of its kind.

These larger models have become status symbols, partly for their impressive speeds, but also for the luxurious details—at least insofar as sportfish boat makers view luxury—across the boats. But many don’t quite understand the definition of luxury on a boat, at least not the same level that brands from Italy understand and implement it, which explains the significant increase in imports over the last ten years.

Tiara is one of the few US boat brands that gets luxury is more than expensive looking gadgets, but about the whole package.

Its new 56 LS, standing for luxury sport, strikes a nice balance between the two words in its name, without going to extremes on either end. “We want to have the performance, but offer a true luxury experience,” Tom Slikkers, Tiara CEO told Robb Report , bristling a bit when his new boat is compared to competitors.  “We see luxury as not just being able to get from point a to point b in record time, but enjoying the whole day aboard. Our competitors aren’t necessarily thinking that way.”

The 56 LS also has some distinctive features from its smaller 48LS and 43LS siblings. “We realized it was time for the next generation,” says Andrew Bartlett, Tiara’s director of design. “We wanted to keep the DNA of our center console design, but provide more enclosure behind the helm station, so owners can seal it during bad weather.”

A disappearing bulkhead, a feature taken from its EX60 inboard model, proved a viable solution. “That let us keep the boat’s main characteristic of openness in good weather, but provides protection so owners don’t have to go below-decks in bad,” adds Bartlett.

The aft cockpit has a modular design that allows movement of the seating, inclusion of the dining table and connection to the outdoor galley for different social occasions. Both rear sides fold down to expand the cockpit size by about a third.

The cabin is a two-stateroom design, with two heads and a shower. The foredeck also has a settee and table, more in line with a cruiser than a center console. Fit and finish throughout promises to be as luxurious as Tiara’s other models.

The new 56 LS may not be able to claim the title for speed or size—Scout is building a new 67-foot center console for release later this year—but it could well be the most luxurious center console on the water when it debuts at the Miami International Boat Show next February.

2024 X-Yachts 56'

Specifications

56'7" (17.25 Meters)

Full Details

Light, strong, and stiff.

With the introduction of the X-65 in 2007, X-Yachts started to infuse hulls for performance yachts utilising epoxy resin. Epoxy infusion construction offers fantastic control over the laminate allowing it to be optimised to maximise strength and stiffness, whilst saving weight.

In the X56 all weight saved, is used to increase the yacht’s stability, enabling the crew to have a more relaxed time and to feel safer and more comfortable. The fact, that the hull is cured, baked at high temperatures for almost 24 hours, not only optimises the hull material properties, but also minimises the risk of the darker coloured hull surfaces to suddenly start posturing, losing the surface finish.

With over 10 years of experience building epoxy infused yachts, X-Yachts took the decision in 2018 to build all models using this technology, one of the only yacht builders to do so.

Interior Craftsmanship

Danish design and architecture is famous for its clean, timeless style. The X56 is a showcase of luxury interior design; the yacht has a great sense of light and space, whilst maintaining practicality and functionality, with a design that works out on the open seas as well as moored in a harbour.

The flush deck hatches and coachroof side windows allows a lot of light into the boat and offers great ventilation. Large hull windows offers fantastic views from the spacious saloon.

Quality Interior Materials

The X56 is offered in a range of finishes: Nordic Oak veneer is standard on all furniture, or optional teak can be chosen.

All veneers are hand-selected in Italy by our specialists, from one of the most exclusive suppliers for the marine market for high quality yachts.

When combined with the top-quality craftsmanship X-Yachts is famous for, this translates to affordable luxury. As with all models in the range, there are a large number of options for soft furnishings;

Interior Layout Options

Four different interior layouts are offered for this model. Please see photos for details.

The standard mast is an aluminium 3 spreader mast with discontinued rod rigging and racing turnbuckles. Option is a carbon mast, and a Furler Boom with carbon mandrel.

It could be argued that the sailplan for any yacht is one of its most important features. From the inception of the Pure X Range, flexibility has been key. X-Yachts took the best from our performance and cruising ranges, which is why you’ll find the X56 can be specced with a self-tacking jib for ease of handling when short handed and longitudinal genoa tracks to maximise sailing performance - the choice is yours.

The X56 has a large moulded bowsprit as standard allowing asymmetric spinnakers to be flown from the front and has space for a Code-0 furler in front of the main forestay, the innovative new shape of the bow allows both the furlers to be pushed further forward maximising the J measurement to improve upwind performance.
