The world is waiting for you Explore it in style aboard the X-65

Photo: Laurant Charpentier The three owners of X-Yachts; Niels Jeppesen, Lars Jeppesen, Birger Hansen.

World Class Since 1979 X-Yachts was established in 1979, when brothers Niels and Lars Jeppesen met Birger Hansen. X-Yachts first model was the X-79, which became very popular as a One Design Class and still is a very active class. International debut The first international X-Yacht, the X-102, won the ¾ Ton Cup in Helsinki, Finland and defended the victory one year later in Denia, Spain. This suddenly established X-Yachts internationally. Throughout the 80’s, X-Yachts’ models won international world championships nine times. In the 90’s, more IMS championship successes followed. The IMX 38,...

Speed and style A performance cruiser that sets new standards The X-65 was conceived as a big sister to the hugely successful X-55; European Yacht of the Year 2007. She is also the little sister of the extremely fast and stylish IMX 70. The result is a sleek yet spacious performance cruiser. At every stage of design and production the focus has been to create a yacht that is easy to sail and utterly reliable. The X-65 embodies elegance and enjoyment in equal measure.

Systems that you can depend on Reliability is crucial. Problems with gear or systems can be frustrating in port and could compromise safety at sea X-Yachts' solution is to use trusted technology and standardised systems. There is push-button control of halyards and sheets, with reliable electric units favoured over high-maintenance hydraulics. This is a yacht for sailors, not engineers.

Beauty in the detail Thoughtful design means simple sailing You do not need to sacrifice beauty to achieve practicality. When creating the X-65 the designers combined their experience with innovative new ideas to keep her lines clean while ensuring she is easy to handle. One of the optional foredeck arrangements typifies this intelligent approach. The anchor and bow roller stow neatly out of sight when berthed or at sea, and are launched on a hinged stainless steel arm, supported by a gas strut. As well as an optional inner forestay and powered genoa furler, the foredeck can also house a...

Hidden Talents Control lines right where you need them The deck and coachroof has been cleverly designed to hide sheets, halyards and control lines out of view. This makes her not only a joy to behold, but also a safer boat to sail.

Control at the helm Innovative tender stowage Whilst steering the X-65 you will find all that you need close at hand. Navigation equipment, auto pilot controls, instruments and gauges mounted on the pedestal are supported by reapeaters at the mast. The communications equipment can be found with the engine control panel on the starboard side. The main and genoa sheets are just a step away, and the port halyard winch can be controlled electrically from the starboard console, as can the in-boom furling if fitted.

A sting in the tail Innovative tender stowage Transom stowage of tenders is an ideal option that has, until now, been reserved for much larger yachts. The X-65 sets a new standard in its class by incorporating a large garage space accessed from the stern. There is room for a 3.2m RIB that is perfect for exploring your new destination or just for some high-octane fun in the sun. Clients can also choose to have a carbon fibre passerelle that, at the touch of a button, extends from a hatch in the port aft deck and allows easy access ashore.

Versatility is a strength A yacht to suit your sailing The X-65 is designed to suit a wide range of demands. Will you opt for the self-tacking jib or the 108% genoa? Should you choose a fixed or removable Kevlar inner forestay? Will you raise the sprayhood from its recessed storage space to deflect the wind or extend one of the biminis to keep the sun off the cockpit or helm? You may be sailing fully crewed or want a boat that is a pleasure to sail shorthanded. Whatever your needs there are options to suit your sailing.

Quality in construction The hidden details The use of heat galvanised steel to create a support structure for the mast and keel stiffness of the hull and ensure that the maximum performance can be achieved from was pioneered by X-Yachts in 1981. Since then the Danish yard has produced more than 6,000 yachts featuring this technology and has won worldwide recognition for the strength of their designs.

Cutting edge design The latest technology State-of-the-art design programmes and 3-D modelling is used to ensure remarkable accuracy and painstaking attention to detail. The use of the latest technology extends to the build of the X-65 with vacuum infusion, sandwich construction and honeycomb core panels and floorboards used throughout. X-Yachts are aware of the special relationship that owners have with their boats. We know that only the best will do and take great pleasure in involving owners with the conception and build of their individual yacht. Computer modelling allows owners to see...

Superyacht maker's CEO: Bayesian's crew made an 'incredible mistake'

T he body of British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch was recovered Thursday from his family's superyacht that sank off the coast of Italy after it encountered a sudden and powerful storm, authorities said.

After four bodies were recovered from the wreck Wednesday, Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, remains the only person unaccounted for, Massimo Mariani, of Italy's interior ministry, told Reuters. Her body may have been swept out to sea, Mariani said.

It could take divers more time to find her body because of the difficulties of accessing the sunken ship more than 160 feet down, said Luca Cari, a fire brigade spokesperson. Rescuers faced a challenging task in scouring extremely deep and narrow spaces around the boat.

Giovanni Costantino, the CEO of Italian ship manufacturer Perini, which made the ship in 2008, told Reuters on Thursday, "The boat suffered a series of indescribable, unreasonable errors."

He said the crew made an "incredible mistake" in not preparing for the storm, even though it was announced in a shipping forecast earlier. "This is the mistake that cries out for vengeance," he said.

Lynch, 59, was best known as the co-founder of Britain’s largest enterprise software, Autonomy, which was sold to Hewlett-Packard in 2011. He had invited his friends on the yacht to celebrate his acquittal in June of fraud charges related to the sale of Autonomy.

The Bayesian, a 184-feet-long British-registered sailboat, went down just before sunrise Monday off the coast of Porticello, near Palermo, where it was anchored when a strong storm swept across the area. Of the 22 passengers and crew members on board, 15, including Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, were pulled from the water Monday, and several were hospitalized. Divers then recovered the body of Ricardo Thomas, the yacht's chef, near the ship.

Who were among the missing?

An exhaustive search ensued for six missing people: Lynch and his daughter; Judy and Jonathan Bloomer, a non-executive chair of Morgan Stanley International; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife, Neda Morvillo.

Jonathan Bloomer was a character witness at Lynch’s fraud trial, and Chris Morvillo, an American citizen, was part of the team that represented Lynch.

Hannah, the younger of Lynch's two daughters, was preparing to study English literature at Oxford University, according to the Sunday Times.

Investigation opened into the tragedy

Local prosecutors have opened an investigation into the disaster and will hold a press conference on Saturday.

Costantino said there were no errors in the ship's construction or design. "It went down because it took on water. From where, the investigators will tell," he said.

The ship, owned by Lynch's wife, Bacares, was constructed in accordance with international maritime standards and commercially certified by the U.K.'s Maritime and Coastguard Agency, according to Matthew Schanck, chairman of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council. It was refitted for the second time in 2020.

Experts have pointed to  a waterspout, a tornado over the water that can travel up to 120 mph, that formed during the storm, as well as the weight of the ship's mast, one of the largest in the world, as possible factors in its sinking.

Exclusive details, face of jesus ai recreates stunning likeness of shroud of turin image that many believe to be christ.

New X-ray analysis seems to prove that the Shroud of Turin was indeed from Jesus Christ’s time – allowing artificial intelligence to recreate stunning images of what many believe could be Christ himself.

Christians have long believed that the treasured relic was the burial cloth of Jesus, showing an imprint of their Messiah’s face.

While dating analysis from the 1980s suggested it was actually a painted forgery from the 1300s, new X-ray dating evaluation suggests it was from 2,000 years ago, putting it in Christ’s time, according to a study published in the Heritage journal .

That knowledge has since allowed cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology to creating vivid, eerily lifelike renderings of the facial impression that believers are convinced was left on the cloth at the moment of Christ’s resurrection.

One image drawn from the facial imprint by AI site Midjourney was eerily similar to many classical art historical depictions of Jesus, including the shoulder-length hair and beard. 

The AI image also shows the man with wounds on his bare chest, suggesting that he had just been tortured and killed, noted the Daily Express , which generated the image.

Another version generated by the Daily Mail showed a clothed figure with deep-set blue eyes and a head covering with similar long hair and trimmed facial hair.

An AI rendering of the Shroud of Turin obtained by The Post showed the man with his eyes closed and mouth slightly parted in a more contemplative pose.

Dr. Liberato de Caro, the leader of the Heritage analysis, claimed that the wide-angle X-ray analysis proved that the Shroud of Turin matched a similar fabric sample from Masada, Israel dating between 55 to 74 CE.

“The experimental results are compatible with the hypothesis that the Turin Shroud is a 2000-year-old relic,” the study said, claiming that the previous definitive analysis was flawed due to contamination.

There were also tiny particles of pollen from the Middle East lodged in the linen fibers of the shroud, which seemingly ruled out the idea that the fabric came from Europe, Dr. de Caro added.

De Caro’s team conducted their analysis using a small sample from the Shroud, which is currently housed at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy.

The study’s authors were quick to note that the new conclusions only hold up if the fragile artifact was kept at average temperature and a relative humidity of 55 to 75% for the 13 centuries before it entered the historical record in 1354.

Due to the hundreds of years of back-and-forth over authenticity of the shroud the Catholic Church has no official position on its legitimacy. 

Several popes, however, recognized the cloth as a miraculous relic. Pope Francis went on a pilgrimage to Turin in 2015 in order to pray before the shroud.

The Xp 55 raises the bar for performance sailing yachts. This model offers an unbeatable sailing experience combined with luxurious levels of comfort.

The smallest yacht in the range, the Xp 33 is designed for pure sailing enjoyment. This model is a high stability 30-footer which benefits from the same advanced construction techniques as the larger yachts in the Xperformance range for superb sailing performance and build quality.

Production Years: 2012 — 2017 Number Built: 64 Hull Length: 9.99 m

Like the Xp 44, this 50-footer uses epoxy infusion build processes for improved stiffness with reduced weight, a carbon keel structure for maximum safety and ultimate stability, and a precision-moulded composite keel with iron fin and lead bulb giving a high ballast ratio. You steer, she responds. Nothing comes between the wind’s force and the Xp 50's acceleration on the water.

Production Years: 2012 — 2024 Number Built: 25 Hull Length: 14.99 m

The Xp 38 delivers an unrivalled sailing experience in a dual-purpose cruiser-racer.

Production Years: 2007 — 2013 Number Built: 144 Hull Length: 10.36 m

The vision behind the design was to create a sporty and simple yacht to sail, with extremely pleasing lines. Below deck she provides comforts suitable not only for the crew after racing, but also for the active family during a weekend trip or for holiday cruising.

Production Years: 2005 — 2012 Number Built: Hull Length: 10.61 m

Winner of the prestigious “Yacht of the Year” in 2007, as chosen by the 10 largest European yachting magazines. The X-55 is elegant and timeless, yet very fast and comfortable, enabling the owner to specify exactly the sail handling system and details to suit his needs.

Production Years: 2005 — 2012 Number Built: 34 Hull Length: 16.76 m

X-Yachts latest one-off project, sold to an existing X-562 client. The hull and deck was laminated in the UK by Green Marine with Gurit (formerly SP-Systems) supplying laminates and engineering. The creation of this inspirational yacht has led to many new design solutions that will feature on future models.

Production Years: 2005 — 2005 Number Built: 1 Hull Length: 21.40 m

When launched she was highly praised for her stunning looks and great performance. The X-50 was another trendsetter with her flat deck, sprayhood recess and open transom. She is sleek and stylish with a modest beam for her length. Stability comes mainly from a heavy lead bulb. The X-50 is largely sold as a fast cruiser, enabling the owner and his crew to reach far horizons quickly and in comfort.

Production Years: 2004 — 2011 Number Built: 63 Hull Length: 15.24 m

Production Years: 2004 — 2010 Number Built: 148 Hull Length: 11.35 m

A replacement for the exceptionally popular X-412. The X-40 is part of the second generation of X-Yachts’ Performance Cruisers. The hull model was made by extending the IMX 40 by 100mm, modifying the bow rake and adding a cruising oriented deck layout and teak interior. The X-40 has proved to be as competetive as the IMX 40, and rates more favouable in both ORC and IMS. ”Sirena”, owned and sailed by Denmark’s Peter Buhl, has won many major races in Denmark as well as the 2005 X-Yachts Gold Cup in Arendal, Norway.

Production Years: 2004 — 2010 Number Built: 140 Hull Length: 12.19 m

Just two months after the launch of the all new X-43, came the unveiling of the X-46. The hull was developed by adding 30 cm to the stern of the IMX 45 hull model. The X-46 features a large sail storage cabin but otherwise is identical to the concept of the X-43.

Production Years: 2003 — 2010 Number Built: 75 Hull Length: 14.01 m

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 Hull Length: 12.93 m

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 Hull Length: 13.74 m

An X-612 owner wanted X-Yachts to supply his final yacht. X-Yachts 73 took the company’s experience to new levels and integrated as many complex installation systems as possible. Two of these fantastic, true blue water cruisers were built.

Production Years: 2001 — 2001 Number Built: 2 Hull Length: 22.43 m

With the X-412, X-442 and similar models selling in high numbers, the development department found time to maintain the X-Yachts’ reputation in the world of racing. The IMX 40 was introduced as an IMS winner, sporting a carbon mast, boom and wheel as standard and introducing the ‘magic wheel’ backstay adjuster. The design won the European Championship as well as forming two-thirds of the Spanish team that won the Sardinia Cup

Production Years: 2000 — 2004 Number Built: 99 Hull Length: 12.10 m

This design closed the gap between the X-482 and X-612 and was built with the same high standard specification as her bigger and smaller sisters. In effect she was a petite version of the X-612 with the benefit of the very latest detailing. An open transom version was also developed.

Production Years: 1999 — 2004 Number Built: 21 Hull Length: 17.23 m

X-362 Sport

In 1998 the X-362 Sport was introduced. She had a deeper, lighter keel, fractional rig, enlarged wheel and mahogany interior.

Production Years: 1998 — 2004 Number Built: 156 Hull Length: 10.70 m

The X-482 replaced the X-512 and incorporated most of the deck details introduced on the X-612 such as the main sheet systems being led beneath deck and integrated storage for the sprayhood and captive wash boards.

Production Years: 1996 — 2004 Number Built: 156 Hull Length: 14.63 m

In common with the first three models in the new Performance Cruiser range, the X-382 sported a large masthead rig, a large wheel, and a teak interior with moulded teak bulkheads that ensured maximum use of space. The X-382 was mainly focused on the cruising market, but was completely in tune with the new line, offering excellent sailing performance and comfort.

Production Years: 1995 — 2003 Number Built: 141 Hull Length: 11.73 m

The X-612 represented another milestone in the company’s development. The design incorporated honey-comb-cored sandwich bulkheads and floorboards, recessed sprayhood storage and mainsheet led under benrath the deck. There was also a stern garage for a 2.8 m RIB, something never seen before on a yacht of this size. Owners included Hanseatische Yachtschule, the world’s largest sailing school. One example, “Dali”, raced in Scandinavia for several years, under the control of X-Yachts’ world-class sailors, Dan Petersen and Niels Ditmar.

Production Years: 1995 — 2004 Number Built: 12 Hull Length: 18.29 m

Replacing the X-312 using almost the same hull, though with a less raked bow and stern. The first series was delivered with a composite cast iron/lead bulb keel, which made her very stiff. A cheaper cast iron keel version was subsequently introduced with improved light wind performance.

Production Years: 1994 — 2004 Number Built: 117 Hull Length: 9.08 m

Developed in parallel with the X-302 and one of the most successful and popular X-Yachts models ever. The X-332 was unmatched in the way she combined performance and comfort. A composite cast iron/ lead bulb keel and fractional rig with discontinuous rod rigging were standard. Later a Sport version appeared featuring a deeper, lighter keel, to match developments of the IMS rule.

Production Years: 1994 — 2005 Number Built: 432 Hull Length: 10.06 m

The third Performance Cruiser also became a “classic” and remained in production for more than 10 years. She was stiffer than the competition, and soon she became a benchmark for designers and builders of this new breed of performance cruisers.

Production Years: 1993 — 2003 Number Built: 127 Hull Length: 13.51 m

This was an exceptionally stiff yacht and appealed to more conservative sailors who demanded high levels of comfort. First introduced with a masthead rig and a curved mahogany interior. A more traditional teak interior was subsequently offered.

Production Years: 1993 — 2003 Number Built: 249 Hull Length: 10.70 m

The good looks of the X-382 were obvious from the moment she emerged from the production mould. She was so appealing that the idea was born to create a new racer/cruiser that would perform well under the dominant IMS international handicap rule.

Production Years: 1992 — 2000 Number Built: 92 Hull Length: 11.41 m

X-Yachts’ first model in the new “Performance Cruiser” range where the influence of IOR had completely disappeared as IMS became the dominant international handicap rule. The X-412 became another trendsetter and remained in production for more than 10 years.

Production Years: 1990 — 2003 Number Built: 252 Hull Length: 12.90 m

40 ft One Ton

The last X-Yachts model built to win an official World Championship. Greek banker, Yannis Costopoulos was the owner of the 1988 and 1989 “World Champion” X-3/4 Ton yachts (“Okyalos IIX” and “Okyalos IX”) and ordered the best one-off One Ton that could be built. “Okyalos X” duly won the One Ton Cup in Marstrand, Sweden.

Production Years: 1990 — 1990 Number Built: 1 Hull Length: 12.12 m

Entering the 50ft market for the new Performance Cruiser range, sporting twin wheel steering, a large masthead rig and a comfortable teak interior.

Production Years: 1990 — 1995 Number Built: 17 Hull Length: 15.57 m

Designed to replace the X-95 she was kept simple, yet practical. The X-312 sported a fractional rig and tiller steering and was the first X-Yachts model to benefit from a stern integrated bathing platform.

Production Years: 1989 — 1994 Number Built: 64 Hull Length: 9.24 m

Originally sold as a one-off to a Swedish newspaper publisher, with the rights for X-Yachts to put into production. She followed the X-79/X-99 design philosophy, featuring a T-keel and became popular among those who wanted a very fast, non-handicap racer/cruiser.

Production Years: 1988 — 1992 Number Built: 74 Hull Length: 12.00 m

IOR had become less important as handicap rules were more locally based and didn’t take the stability into account. This allowed for the production of a much stiffer yacht than the IOR-designed X-102 and X-95. A masthead version was offered but almost all clients chose the fractional rig.

Production Years: 1988 — 1994 Number Built: 105 Hull Length: 10.21 m

Built in the same hull mould, this luxury version of the X-452 was very much oriented to cruising. A variety of layouts, including three- and four-cabin versions were offered and became popular around the Mediterranean.

Production Years: 1987 — 1991 Number Built: 20 Hull Length: 13.92 m

With the demand for IOR cruiser/racers fading, the X-372 was designed without consideration towards handicap rules. A Sport version was offered with tiller steering and fractional rigging while the popular Prestige version had wheel steering, teak decks and a masthead rig.

Production Years: 1987 — 1992 Number Built: 120 Hull Length: 11.28 m

In 1985 Hull 05 “Maitresse”, together with two other X-One Ton yachts, formed the first ever Danish Admiral’s Cup team and came fifth. X-One Ton “Euro” was the third best scoring individual yacht.

Production Years: 1986 — 1986 Number Built: 12 Hull Length: 12.12 m

X-One Ton Mk 2

The successful modifications made to the X-3/4 Ton were also introduced to the X-One Ton. The prototype was nicknamed “Dolly Parton” as her measurement bumbs were quite impressive! Hull 14 “Andelstanken” won the One Ton Yachts World Championship in Mallorca in 1986, skippered by Henrik Søderlund of North Sails with tactics by Niels Ditmar from X-Yachts. The X-One Ton “Seaways” came fourth.

Production Years: 1986 — 1989 Number Built: 12 Hull Length: 12.12 m

X-3/4 Ton Mk 2

With a modified hull (including added measurement bumps), a new semi-elliptical keel and rudder and increased stability and sail area, this version came first, second, fourth and fifth in the Three Quarter Ton Cup World Championship. A winner was born!

Production Years: 1985 — 1990 Number Built: 51 Hull Length: 10.03 m

Launched in July 1985 as a big sister to the X-79. More than 100 units were presold and initially four yachts had to be built each week to satisfy the hungry market. The X-99 became X-Yachts’ first ISAF recognized class, and still hosts annual World Championships. X-99/155 “Hong Kong X-Press” owned by X-Yachts Hong Kong importer Rick and Inge Strompf, participated in the X-99 World Championship in Copenhagen in 1987 and the following year in Vejle, Denmark, where they won the title with Volvo 70 “PUMA” skipper, Ken Read, at the helm.

Production Years: 1985 — 2004 Number Built: 605 Hull Length: 9.96 m

The first 40ft model was a true trendsetter with Hull 01 “X-Large” having its World Premiere at Copenhagen International Boatshow in January 1984. Sporting a large diameter wheel and rod rigging as standard, she was offered with both masthead and fractional rigs and opened up the more luxury oriented market for X-Yachts. The masthead version proved the most popular.

Production Years: 1984 — 1990 Number Built: 79 Hull Length: 12.09 m

X-3/4 Ton Mk 1

Based on the hull mould of the X-102, with a new deck, keel and rudder, as well as a new interior and sail plan.

In 1982 “Lille du” won the same title and gave X-Yachts a head start in the international yachting arena.

Production Years: 1981 — 1987 Number Built: 173 Hull Length: 10.02 m

Launched on May 9th 1979 and instantly became a successful Northern European one design class that is still active in five countries. See the refurbushing project of the very first X-79 here
