X-1 Ton is a 39 ′ 9 ″ / 12.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Niels Jeppesen and built by X-Yachts between 1983 and 1990.

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)

Winner of Int. 1 ton cup in 1986. (30.5’ IOR as of 1983) Production version with more interior amenities is X-402.

Production Years: 2005 — 2012 Number Built: Hull Length: 10.61 m

Winner of the prestigious “Yacht of the Year” in 2007, as chosen by the 10 largest European yachting magazines. The X-55 is elegant and timeless, yet very fast and comfortable, enabling the owner to specify exactly the sail handling system and details to suit his needs.

Production Years: 2005 — 2012 Number Built: 34 Hull Length: 16.76 m

X-Yachts latest one-off project, sold to an existing X-562 client. The hull and deck was laminated in the UK by Green Marine with Gurit (formerly SP-Systems) supplying laminates and engineering. The creation of this inspirational yacht has led to many new design solutions that will feature on future models.

Production Years: 2005 — 2005 Number Built: 1 Hull Length: 21.40 m

When launched she was highly praised for her stunning looks and great performance. The X-50 was another trendsetter with her flat deck, sprayhood recess and open transom. She is sleek and stylish with a modest beam for her length. Stability comes mainly from a heavy lead bulb. The X-50 is largely sold as a fast cruiser, enabling the owner and his crew to reach far horizons quickly and in comfort.

Production Years: 2004 — 2011 Number Built: 63 Hull Length: 15.24 m

A relatively narrow yet stiff 37-footer that has won a number of prestigious regattas and races worldwide. The latest notable result was a third consecutive win in the ORC 670 World Championship, with the 2008 event sailed in Lanzarote, Spain.

Production Years: 2004 — 2010 Number Built: 148 Hull Length: 11.35 m

A replacement for the exceptionally popular X-412. The X-40 is part of the second generation of X-Yachts’ Performance Cruisers. The hull model was made by extending the IMX 40 by 100mm, modifying the bow rake and adding a cruising oriented deck layout and teak interior. The X-40 has proved to be as competetive as the IMX 40, and rates more favouable in both ORC and IMS. ”Sirena”, owned and sailed by Denmark’s Peter Buhl, has won many major races in Denmark as well as the 2005 X-Yachts Gold Cup in Arendal, Norway.

Production Years: 2004 — 2010 Number Built: 140 Hull Length: 12.19 m

Just two months after the launch of the all new X-43, came the unveiling of the X-46. The hull was developed by adding 30 cm to the stern of the IMX 45 hull model. The X-46 features a large sail storage cabin but otherwise is identical to the concept of the X-43.

Production Years: 2003 — 2010 Number Built: 75 Hull Length: 14.01 m

This was another trendsetter for the marine industry and represented the start of a new generation of yacht design. Her hull lines were created by a pure downscaling of the stunning IMX 45. The X-43 was smoother, heavier and stiffer than the competition. All the boats were fractionally rigged and all featured built-in hull portlights.

Production Years: 2003 — 2010 Number Built: 169 Hull Length: 12.93 m

The IMX 45 was introduced on the back of the success of IMX 40, but also incorporated features that made her appeal to a wider audience such as an interior crafted in teak, an optional anchor locker and below deck headsail furler. Production started in the spring of 2002 and 24 yachts were launched, eight of which participated in the “Copa del Rey” in Palma, Mallorca.

Production Years: 2002 — 2004 Number Built: 24 Hull Length: 13.74 m

An X-612 owner wanted X-Yachts to supply his final yacht. X-Yachts 73 took the company’s experience to new levels and integrated as many complex installation systems as possible. Two of these fantastic, true blue water cruisers were built.

Production Years: 2001 — 2001 Number Built: 2 Hull Length: 22.43 m

With the X-412, X-442 and similar models selling in high numbers, the development department found time to maintain the X-Yachts’ reputation in the world of racing. The IMX 40 was introduced as an IMS winner, sporting a carbon mast, boom and wheel as standard and introducing the ‘magic wheel’ backstay adjuster. The design won the European Championship as well as forming two-thirds of the Spanish team that won the Sardinia Cup

Production Years: 2000 — 2004 Number Built: 99 Hull Length: 12.10 m

This design closed the gap between the X-482 and X-612 and was built with the same high standard specification as her bigger and smaller sisters. In effect she was a petite version of the X-612 with the benefit of the very latest detailing. An open transom version was also developed.

Production Years: 1999 — 2004 Number Built: 21 Hull Length: 17.23 m

X-362 Sport

In 1998 the X-362 Sport was introduced. She had a deeper, lighter keel, fractional rig, enlarged wheel and mahogany interior.

Production Years: 1998 — 2004 Number Built: 156 Hull Length: 10.70 m

The X-482 replaced the X-512 and incorporated most of the deck details introduced on the X-612 such as the main sheet systems being led beneath deck and integrated storage for the sprayhood and captive wash boards.

Production Years: 1996 — 2004 Number Built: 156 Hull Length: 14.63 m

In common with the first three models in the new Performance Cruiser range, the X-382 sported a large masthead rig, a large wheel, and a teak interior with moulded teak bulkheads that ensured maximum use of space. The X-382 was mainly focused on the cruising market, but was completely in tune with the new line, offering excellent sailing performance and comfort.

Production Years: 1995 — 2003 Number Built: 141 Hull Length: 11.73 m

The X-612 represented another milestone in the company’s development. The design incorporated honey-comb-cored sandwich bulkheads and floorboards, recessed sprayhood storage and mainsheet led under benrath the deck. There was also a stern garage for a 2.8 m RIB, something never seen before on a yacht of this size. Owners included Hanseatische Yachtschule, the world’s largest sailing school. One example, “Dali”, raced in Scandinavia for several years, under the control of X-Yachts’ world-class sailors, Dan Petersen and Niels Ditmar.

Production Years: 1995 — 2004 Number Built: 12 Hull Length: 18.29 m

Replacing the X-312 using almost the same hull, though with a less raked bow and stern. The first series was delivered with a composite cast iron/lead bulb keel, which made her very stiff. A cheaper cast iron keel version was subsequently introduced with improved light wind performance.

Production Years: 1994 — 2004 Number Built: 117 Hull Length: 9.08 m

Developed in parallel with the X-302 and one of the most successful and popular X-Yachts models ever. The X-332 was unmatched in the way she combined performance and comfort. A composite cast iron/ lead bulb keel and fractional rig with discontinuous rod rigging were standard. Later a Sport version appeared featuring a deeper, lighter keel, to match developments of the IMS rule.

Production Years: 1994 — 2005 Number Built: 432 Hull Length: 10.06 m

The third Performance Cruiser also became a “classic” and remained in production for more than 10 years. She was stiffer than the competition, and soon she became a benchmark for designers and builders of this new breed of performance cruisers.

Production Years: 1993 — 2003 Number Built: 127 Hull Length: 13.51 m

This was an exceptionally stiff yacht and appealed to more conservative sailors who demanded high levels of comfort. First introduced with a masthead rig and a curved mahogany interior. A more traditional teak interior was subsequently offered.

Production Years: 1993 — 2003 Number Built: 249 Hull Length: 10.70 m

The good looks of the X-382 were obvious from the moment she emerged from the production mould. She was so appealing that the idea was born to create a new racer/cruiser that would perform well under the dominant IMS international handicap rule.

Production Years: 1992 — 2000 Number Built: 92 Hull Length: 11.41 m

X-Yachts’ first model in the new “Performance Cruiser” range where the influence of IOR had completely disappeared as IMS became the dominant international handicap rule. The X-412 became another trendsetter and remained in production for more than 10 years.

Production Years: 1990 — 2003 Number Built: 252 Hull Length: 12.90 m

40 ft One Ton

The last X-Yachts model built to win an official World Championship. Greek banker, Yannis Costopoulos was the owner of the 1988 and 1989 “World Champion” X-3/4 Ton yachts (“Okyalos IIX” and “Okyalos IX”) and ordered the best one-off One Ton that could be built. “Okyalos X” duly won the One Ton Cup in Marstrand, Sweden.

Production Years: 1990 — 1990 Number Built: 1 Hull Length: 12.12 m

Entering the 50ft market for the new Performance Cruiser range, sporting twin wheel steering, a large masthead rig and a comfortable teak interior.

Production Years: 1990 — 1995 Number Built: 17 Hull Length: 15.57 m

Designed to replace the X-95 she was kept simple, yet practical. The X-312 sported a fractional rig and tiller steering and was the first X-Yachts model to benefit from a stern integrated bathing platform.

Production Years: 1989 — 1994 Number Built: 64 Hull Length: 9.24 m

Originally sold as a one-off to a Swedish newspaper publisher, with the rights for X-Yachts to put into production. She followed the X-79/X-99 design philosophy, featuring a T-keel and became popular among those who wanted a very fast, non-handicap racer/cruiser.

Production Years: 1988 — 1992 Number Built: 74 Hull Length: 12.00 m

IOR had become less important as handicap rules were more locally based and didn’t take the stability into account. This allowed for the production of a much stiffer yacht than the IOR-designed X-102 and X-95. A masthead version was offered but almost all clients chose the fractional rig.

Production Years: 1988 — 1994 Number Built: 105 Hull Length: 10.21 m

Built in the same hull mould, this luxury version of the X-452 was very much oriented to cruising. A variety of layouts, including three- and four-cabin versions were offered and became popular around the Mediterranean.

Production Years: 1987 — 1991 Number Built: 20 Hull Length: 13.92 m

With the demand for IOR cruiser/racers fading, the X-372 was designed without consideration towards handicap rules. A Sport version was offered with tiller steering and fractional rigging while the popular Prestige version had wheel steering, teak decks and a masthead rig.

Production Years: 1987 — 1992 Number Built: 120 Hull Length: 11.28 m

X-One Ton Mk1

Based on the same hull as X-402, but with new deck layout, keel and rudder as well as a lighter interior and modified sail plan. The Irish owned “Alliance” finished eighth at the first One Ton Cup, with IOR’s upper rating band of 30.55 ft, sailed in La Trinité, France. In 1985 Hull 05 “Maitresse”, together with two other X-One Ton yachts, formed the first ever Danish Admiral’s Cup team and came fifth. X-One Ton “Euro” was the third best scoring individual yacht.

Production Years: 1986 — 1986 Number Built: 12 Hull Length: 12.12 m

X-One Ton Mk 2

The successful modifications made to the X-3/4 Ton were also introduced to the X-One Ton. The prototype was nicknamed “Dolly Parton” as her measurement bumbs were quite impressive! Hull 14 “Andelstanken” won the One Ton Yachts World Championship in Mallorca in 1986, skippered by Henrik Søderlund of North Sails with tactics by Niels Ditmar from X-Yachts. The X-One Ton “Seaways” came fourth.

Production Years: 1986 — 1989 Number Built: 12 Hull Length: 12.12 m

X-3/4 Ton Mk 2

With a modified hull (including added measurement bumps), a new semi-elliptical keel and rudder and increased stability and sail area, this version came first, second, fourth and fifth in the Three Quarter Ton Cup World Championship. A winner was born!

Production Years: 1985 — 1990 Number Built: 51 Hull Length: 10.03 m

Launched in July 1985 as a big sister to the X-79. More than 100 units were presold and initially four yachts had to be built each week to satisfy the hungry market. The X-99 became X-Yachts’ first ISAF recognized class, and still hosts annual World Championships. X-99/155 “Hong Kong X-Press” owned by X-Yachts Hong Kong importer Rick and Inge Strompf, participated in the X-99 World Championship in Copenhagen in 1987 and the following year in Vejle, Denmark, where they won the title with Volvo 70 “PUMA” skipper, Ken Read, at the helm.

Production Years: 1985 — 2004 Number Built: 605 Hull Length: 9.96 m

The first 40ft model was a true trendsetter with Hull 01 “X-Large” having its World Premiere at Copenhagen International Boatshow in January 1984. Sporting a large diameter wheel and rod rigging as standard, she was offered with both masthead and fractional rigs and opened up the more luxury oriented market for X-Yachts. The masthead version proved the most popular.

Production Years: 1984 — 1990 Number Built: 79 Hull Length: 12.09 m

X-3/4 Ton Mk 1

Based on the hull mould of the X-102, with a new deck, keel and rudder, as well as a new interior and sail plan. Hull lamination was also improved incorporating unidirectional carbon and R-glass fibres in both hull and deck. Came fourth at the official “Three Quarter Ton Cup” in Kiel, Germany, in 1984, beaten by the first Dehler DB2.

Production Years: 1984 — 1990 Number Built: 84 Hull Length: 9.98 m

The third model was a scaled down X-102, and was designed to race in the popular Half Ton class. Won the World Championship for production half tonners in 1983 in Hankö, Norway.

Production Years: 1982 — 1988 Number Built: 153 Hull Length: 9.25 m

The second X-Yachts model launched was a true cruiser/racer sporting a centre cockpit. It was designed for IOR’s 3/4 Ton upper rating limit of 24.55ft. Hull 07, “Soldier Blue”, won the 3/4 Ton World Championship in 1981 and was skippered by Ib Ussing Andersen, helmed by Jens Christensen with tactics by Lars Bo Ive, all now of North Sails fame. In 1982 “Lille du” won the same title and gave X-Yachts a head start in the international yachting arena.

Production Years: 1981 — 1987 Number Built: 173 Hull Length: 10.02 m

Launched on May 9th 1979 and instantly became a successful Northern European one design class that is still active in five countries. See the refurbushing project of the very first X-79 here

Production Years: 1979 — 1994 Number Built: 468 Hull Length: 7.96 m

X-Yacht 3/4 and 1 ton

• Add to quote

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask if any of you guys have any experience racing or cruising with either an X-Yacht 3/4 ton or an X-Yacht 1 ton. What do you think about the boats and their performance? Have you ever raced any of them? When I contacted X-Yachts in Europe they didn’t have any information to send me on either boat. All responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks  

Both boats are older, IOR designs that did well in Europe, racing IOR. Because of the IOR underwater shapes, they can be tricky to sail fast. I believe they are fractional sloops with pretty small jibs, so mainsail trim is VERY important. Hearsay relates that they are hard to sail to their PHRF ratings. This may be because they need to be sailed like a 420, at 110% from each of the 8 crew, all the ttime. Their beam and relatively small ballast (I believe they have cast iron keels, rather than lead) make crew weight necessary to hold them flat in any breeze. That said, the sail handling systems and rigging on X-yachts that I have seen have all been excellent . They''ve been given enough sail area to be able to move if properly attended to. They appear to hold up well and be well put-together. Layout and finish below have also been quite nice, though some of the earlier models (such as these) may be more stripped out below than others. You could do a lot worse, but line up a big list of good crew if you want to race and do well.  

I am quite familiar with the X Yachts 3/4 tonners. They were very well constructed and actually do reasonably well under PHRF. They were pretty spartan down below but so are most race boats. Like most IOR race boats they respond to tweaking up to a point and are quick to loose speed and slow to get it back. These were better mannered boats than many of their contemporaries. They are not the best light air boats but they seem to hold their own when a breeze fills in. I have always like the deck layout on these boats. An Annapolis based X-34 ton won the 3/4 ton worlds when these were comparatively new boats. I would also look at the Farr 33''s and the J-34 both of which are moderately competitive under PHRF. As to the One tonner, I looked at one of these when I was searching for my current boat. I thought that these were far more crudely constructed than the high quality X-boats that I had previously encountered. This particular boat was a real mess. There problems with the connections between the steel frame and the hull, and large sections of the boat showed stress cracking and other forms of distress. The hardware layout was a bit strange and really seemed to rely on a large skilled crew. I would suggest staying away the One tonners as they seem to be not as robust and not as competitive as the 3/4 tonners. If you feel that you must go the one tonner route, the two designs that seem to have remained competitive and held up pretty well are the Farr one tonners like the Garratt 40 and the Soverel 39''s. Respectfully, Jeff  

Thanks a lot Paul and Jeff for your very informative responses. I got more information from you guys than I got from months of researching on internet and contacting X-Yachts. I saw an X 3/4 ton and I liked the boat immediately. What stood out for me as well were the deck layout and the open transom. I really liked the way it was designed. I have never sailed either one to know how they sail. I have sailed a Soling, a J24, a J29, and a Frers 33. I think they might be more similar to the J24 sailing characteristics, but I might be mistaken. As for the One Ton I haven’t seen one from up close yet to be able to form an opinion. Thank you Paul for all your details regarding sailing the X 3/4 ton. I don’t think I will ever have 8 people as crew, I think we will be at most 5. I am fairly new to racing so I wanted an inexpensive boat as a first boat, but also a boat that I can take out with three people for a day sail. I also agree with you Jeff on the Farr 33. I saw one boat and I really liked the design and deck layout. They are a bit pricier though, around 10K more than the X-Yacht (YachtWorld website prices and listings) so that moved me away from the Farr 33. Any other boats that you guys might think of that fall in the same category as the X 3/4 ton, performance and price, that I should be considering? Do you also know of a different place other than YachtWorld that I could look for boat listings? Your responses are as always greatly appreciated. Spiros.  

When you start talking about older IOR style boats you are generally talking about boats that need pretty large crews for thier size. If they are set up where they can be end for end jibed they can be raced with as little as five people but to race them successfully they require a quite a bit of rail meat. Some of the better 33-34 IOR boats might include the J-34, Dehler DB-2 & DB-4 and besides the Farr 33, Farr also did a number of nice custom and semi-custom 3/4 tonners. Ericson also built a pretty quick Ron Holland designed 3/4 tonner. You see these boats through a very wide range of prices. When you talk about good older 33 foot PHRF race boats, the first boat that comes to mind would be the Soverel 33. Tartan 10''s are reasonable PHRF boats that do not need a huge amount of crew weight. Tripp 33''s are a bit fragile but they tend to be a little more expensive. If you can find a Soverel 30 they are bargain phrf racers. S2 9.1''s are good PHRF and MORC boats. If you want to get by with a 5 person crew Laser 28''s are very good boats. Jeff  

A couple other good PHRF boats in that size range would be the J-29, Kirby 30 (both ideally masthead rig) and J-30. Jeff  

Raced on an X3/4 ton and got destroyed in heavy air by both the Frers 33 and J29.  

I own a X-yachts 3/4 ton. Last year one of our sister ships from the club won the Western Lake Erie champion ships in one. We placed 3rd in our class. The previous owner of my boat has won in the Chicago NOOD, and twice in Key West, the second time with a reduced rating. This boat can sail with 5 crew no problem up to about 12 knots. After that you need the 8 or 9 you are allowed to hold the boat down. You still only need 4 or 5 who know what they are doing to sail it well. I our local races we race agianst a couple of j-33s, a Soveral 39 and a Henderson 30. The one boat is always in the 3. The other boat is generally mid way or better. I would also not that these boats are fast in heavy air. I can easily do 10+ knots dead down wind in 20 knots of breaze. That said, I really think it depends on the people sailing the boat. There are alot of good boats out there. The Soveral 33 and 30''s, Evelyn 32, J-33 and others. I have done an extensive search on race results. It turns out you can win with any boat. Some boats win more often. Some never seem to win. I have beaten boats that rate as low as 81 in PHRF with my 3/4 tonner boat for baot. I have had other owners of the same boat beat me quite soundly on handicap. My advice, find something you can win in, that you like the layout of, and practice, practice, practice.  

The MK II displaces 7260 and has 4840lbs of balast. The beam is 11ft. Main trim is important. 4 or 5 core crew needed. Total 8-9 when it blows but the rest are ballast. On the old boat we could not get 5 to come out all the time. On this boat I have rarely sailed with less than 6. We do twice as many races and still have crew for all of the races.  

Thanks to all of you for the great detail of information you have provided me with. Thanks!  

I own an old IOC 3/4 ton Camper nichiolson 33'' It wins lots of races here in the Carribean with minimal crew--Sometimes just me (a girl) and my 9 year old son! If you could find one of these boats i would snap it up. It also has a great cabin-we live aboard! Good luck in your search.  

From what aspect of the design is the term "one tonner" derived? There is a S&S 38'' aluminum one tonner offered for sale in my area and I was planned on having a look at her this weekend. She was built by Minnefords Yard in NY and won the admirals cup in ''73.  

It is a measurement formula for racing classes(like formula 1 with cars or 12meter boats with Americas cup race yachts). It has nothing to do with the weight or footage of the boat (or at least not in a clear and logical way) but takes about twenty + different and obscure measurments into acount in order to generate an overall rating. Go take a look at the boat. Sasha  

Hola buenas soy nuevo por aqui, soy propietario de un X one tonner MKII que sigue en carrera a dia de hoy, estoy muy contento ya que el año pasado hemos echo 1° 2° y 3° puestos en todas las regatas que participamos de orc3 , el barco tuvo un refit en el 2005 donde se reconfiguro la geometria del casco y se actualizo, por ese motivo sigue siendo competitivo. Si quieren verlo en accion en instagram @rasslimitone. Saludos [Translation by Moderator] Hello, good, I'm new here, I own an X one tonner MKII that is still in the race today, I am very happy since last year we have achieved 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in all the regattas that we participate in orc3 , the boat had a refit in 2005 where the geometry of the hull was reconfigured and updated, for that reason it is still competitive. If you want to see it in action on instagram @rasslimitone. Greetings
