FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:

The X-Yachts X-43 is a modern cruiser-racer from the design board of Niels Jeppesen, a designer with over 2 decades of experience producing robust, stylish and comfortable performance yachts. A well-proven design, with 169 hulls produced over a 7-year production run, the X-43 has proved immensely capable whether cruising or racing around the cans.

Commissioned by her current owner, the X-43 SEANACHAIDH (meaning Story Teller in Gaelic) has cruised as far as the Spanish Mediterranean coast and is a familiar sight around the West Coast of Scotland.

MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:

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

PRESS REVIEWS:

“There has been a proliferation of new racer/cruisers in the 40-foot range. Some builders have returned to the genre after focusing on more cruising-oriented designs, but the Danish builder X-Yachts has been consistently turning out strong, stylish, comfortable performance boats for 25 years. Drawing from this deep well of experience, Niels Jeppesen’s new X-43 was reported to have all the ingredients—excellent performance, comfortable accommodations, high-quality construction—that people look for in a racer/cruiser.”
