Modello X 412
X-412
Introduced to the public in 1990, the X-412 is the first model in the range of high-performance Cruiser-Racers produced by the famous Danish shipyard X-Yachts. The X-412 has had great success all over the world, especially in Italy, where the cruise-racing category of boats is traditionally very popular.
As with all Xs, the design is designed by Niels Jeppesen and is typical of the transition period between the IOR and Ims regulations: pronounced overhangs, particularly at the bow, centered maximum beam and limited freeboard. The X-412's sail plan is generous, with an overlapping genoa that gives power even in light airs.
The presentation of the X 412 represented a turning point in the history of X-Yachts also for the care with which the interiors were created: a sober and welcoming environment for cruising. The X 412 was built in three versions: MKI from 1990 to 1994, MKII from 1994 to 2000 (with renewed interior design) and MKIII from 2000 to 2003. Fast at all speeds, the X 412 remains a current boat , still able to compete with a good chance against newer boats.
