X-41 Race Results
X-41 Wins the first race of the
Warsash Spring Series in the UK
Racing against strong IRC contenders
With designer and founder of X-Yachts, Niels Jeppesen, on board the crew was keen to show the capacities of the X-41. With a good line up in the first race of the Warsash Spring Series, they were facing the brand new Swan 42 and the custom Reighel/Pugh “Windsong”, both are strong IRC contenders. The J-133 “Jammy Dodger” was also a very worthy opponent.
Pasqua Vela - IRC
Porto Santo Stefano, Italy – April 2007
The X-41”Lady X” made a fantastic debut in Italy
She had only just been launched and measured to IRC when she went to participate in the most vital race of central Italy, the Pasqua Vela. In a fleet of 29 competitors, the X-41 “Lady X”, owned by Italian importer, Piergiorgio Ravaioni, resulted in an impressive second place, after a four race series with one discard.
A boat with an extra gear
Malta – April 2007
The X-41 No 1 wins two races in RMYC Spring Series
Impressive 14 minute lead
The first race started well and the X-41’s upwind performance soon became evident as we out pointed and sailed faster than the top 3 IRC contenders in the series. At the first windward mark we had a good lead on the Prima 38, Beneteau 40.7 and Beneteau 45.5 all very well rated and sailed. Downwind, the X-41 performed just as well and we kept increasing our lead on every leg. We crossed the line with an impressive 14 minute lead ahead of our trailing contenders, who finished within a few seconds of each other. We won the race comfortably on corrected time 7 minutes ahead of second place, the “Maltese Falcon” a Beneteau 40.7.
The first X-41 One Design has been test sailed
The shortest day became one of the best the year 2006
- After the test sail, we motored up the Haderslev Fjord to the yard. It was hard not to smile all the way, in spite of the early darkness. The shortest day was also one of the most thrilling.
We are positive that the X-41 will fulfil our most optimistic expectations. Never have the crew and I had such an enjoyable "cold" day ...
