Why sailors choose the X-41
The X-41 is X-Yachts' 41-foot one-design and crossover racer, with a deep T-bulb keel. Sailors pick it because it races well in its class and under handicap while still working as a cruiser. Testers found it quick in light air with a sweet, slightly weighted helm.
- One-design class plus handicap racing
- Deep T-bulb keel gives good stability
- Good light-air acceleration
- Balanced helm with mild weather helm
- Works as a crossover racer-cruiser

What sailors and testers say · in our words, from the linked pages
It accelerated well in about six knots of breeze; the deep bulb keel made it stiffer than some rivals, and it suits all-round use.
