Description
High spec IMX-45 from 2003 with both racing and cruising inventories for optimum dual-purpose usage making her the ultimate ‘go-faster’ cruising boat, or just perfect for competitive regatta racing campaigns.FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:
Originally launched in July 2003, 78 DE MAYO is configured for both competitive regatta racing and also comfortable family cruising with a large inventory of equipment for both disciplines. Benefitting from annual servicing and plenty of recent expenditure, she is the ideal ‘one boat does all’.
Her specification highlights include:-
• Blue hull
• New Synthetic Flexitec teak deck June 2019
• Carbon fibre mast and boom
• Extensive race and cruise sail wardrobe include North 3DI sails
• Carbon fibre helm wheel
• Harken winches including electric halyard winch
• NKE instruments including 20/20’s at mast and new B&G chart plotter at chart table
• Up to 10-berths in 3 cabins including saloon and fold-out pipecots in twin aft double cabins
BUILDER’S COMMENTS:
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
PRESS REVIEWS:
“I wouldn't buy a boat that I didn't think we could win with," says Richie Shulman, who bought a new IMX-45 last year, won his class at Block Island Race Week, and was the overall winner of the Marblehead Halifax Ocean Race. "I looked at everything before I decided on the IMX-45," he says. Shulman is picky because he's used to winning, and he's used to cruising in comfort, having campaigned and cruised a Swan 44 and 51. Want a stamp of approval for a racer/cruiser? Shulman's buying decision, backed up by two impressive wins, should do…”
…As with all X-Yachts, the IMX-45 has as its backbone an H-frame assembly of galvanized steel girders, glassed into the hull and tying the keel, hull, and mast together. The structure is strong enough to also anchor the single lifting point for the entire boat, which means the IMX-45-all 20,000 pounds of it-can be lifted by a polyester strap, led through a small access hatch in the cabintop. Few boats this size can boast this feature. The hull is a vinylester resin sandwich with biaxial and unidirectional E-glass and a Divinycell foam core, except around the H-frame and the rudder stock, where the laminate is solid glass. Molded into the topsides are the three X-Yacht trademark stripes as well as a marking line to indicate exactly where the bottom paint ends and the topsides begin…
…The interior space belies the IMX-45's racy attributes. It's roomy, feels comfortable, and is put together like a cabinetmaker's dream. The overhead is a solid sheet of fiberglass; all deck-mounted hardware is installed from above into steel plates with tapped screwholes. The main cabin has the nav station to port and a J-shaped galley to starboard. The nav station is far enough away from the companionway to stay dry and sports a drop-down panel designed to hold an opened laptop securely. The electrical panel is top shelf; easy to get at and as cleanly put together as you're likely to see. The engine is accessed by removing the companionway stairs and access panels in each aft cabin…
