X-Yachts IMX 45

XO is a superb IMX 45 designed by X-Yachts and naval architect Niels Jeppesen. This sailboat combines performance and comfort perfectly. Ideally suited for IRC racing, it was meticulously renovated in 2025 after over 7 years without sailing. It also benefits from a very good IRC rating. Its design and equipment make it an excellent choice for fast cruising and ocean sailing.

The interior of XO was entirely renovated in 2025. It is simple, spacious, and functional, accommodating up to 8 people. It features a comfortable salon, a large chart table on port side, and an U-shaped galley on starboard with a double sink, a new gas stove, and a refrigerator. The woodwork has been renovated and finished with varnish or painted white to enhance brightness inside.

The layout includes three cabins: a forward cabin with a double bed, two aft cabins each with a double bed and a berth frame, and additional sleeping options in the saloon. The saloon table comfortably seats 8 people. A bathroom with a renovated shower and toilet is located at the front of the salon on starboard side.

The mast, boom, and spinnaker pole are carbon, and the standing rigging is rod. The rigging was replaced in 2018 and has covered no more than a hundred miles since then. The mast jack was renovated in 2025. The boat’s wardrobe includes 2 mainsails (1 Dacron, used only one day, and 1 fiber, slightly older), 4 genoas (1 very clean on shackles, 3 others on tracks and currently unusable onboard), 1 staysail (also on track), and 3 spinnakers in very good condition, including 1 asymmetrical.

The electronics are original but tested and operational. They can likely be upgraded depending on the future owner's intended use. The boat currently does not have an anchor windlass but one could be added within negotiations on price and additional services.
