A transom of its own | | | | Swimming platform
Easy life raft deployment
Stern anchor | | |
To access the swimming platform, the transom is hinged down into a horizontal position, whilst the aft deck is lowered to create a walkway. A combination of electronically operated actuators, struts and springs makes the transformation between closed and open cockpit an effortless task.
Also integrated into the platform is a bathing ladder and a shower unit. The compartment for the liferaft is hidden in the starboard part of the transom. It can hold charter regulation six person canisters, operated by a launch mechanism under the helms seat which, when needed, can be deployed quickly and easily. Good access from aft is also available.
With an optional integrated stern anchor davit, you can lower and deploy up to 50 m of warp with ease, using the remote control. | | |

The prominent feature of the deck is a clean, uncluttered layout with flush mounted, openable deck hatches and stainless steel dorades for optimum ventilation. The sail cabin on the foredeck accommodates space for the asymmetric spinnaker, fenders and the optional bow ladder, and provides good access to the anchor locker, which easily holds the standard 50 meters of chain.

All sail handling is executed from the cockpit. Halyards, reefing and control lines are led to the
winches on the coach roof; the mainsail sheet is led to dedicated winches at the helm. Both the
standard furling forestay and the optional selftacking jib makes the sail handling an easy job. The main sail track has been moved out of the cockpit in front of the sprayhood, providing an
uncluttered cockpit with free passage throughout. The optional stainless steel davits allow for
quick and easy launch of the yacht’s tender from the transom. All halyards and control lines led under deck to cockpit. |

The helmsman’s position provides an excellent view forward both during sailing
and while manoeuvering in the harbour. The control instrument console ensures a good view
of the navigation instruments and is also a secure handhold when moving around while sailing.
The engine lever arm and control panel is mounted in a starboard cockpit
recess for safe and reliable control.
Every detail is designed to optimize the skipper’s control at the helm, and to help a shorthanded crew work safely.

The Xc 45 comes in a 2 or a 3-cabin interior layout. Standard is the 3-cabin version
with two almost symmetrical aft cabins. Alternatively, there is the 2-cabin version, which features
a huge workstation cabin with access to the deep, enlarged starboard cockpit locker. Two main cabin layouts are offered to suit your needs: a standard version with a dedicated Nav station.
Alternatively, a version with a shower compartment adjacent to, and with access from,
the standard head compartment on the starboard side.
The modern look
The interior of the Xc 45 comes standard with white surfaced structural bulkheads,
with recessed teak stripes for panel look.
The furniture joinery, such as galley; Nav station; sofa fronts; cabinets; shelves;
wardrobe fiddles and grab rails, are all made of high quality varnished and satin finished teak,
hand-finished by our specialist carpenters.
White soft vinyl lining is integrated into the moulded deck headliner,
as well as on all visible hull top sides.
The classic look
As an alternative to the modern look, you may prefer varnished teak bulkheads.
The detailed workmanship, the carefully selected teak veneers and the furniture fittings
built to the highest standards, all mirror the ambitions and attitude of X-Yachts.
Eight openable cabin trunk portlights and two openable deck hatches as well as the
sliding hatch opening, offer excellent and natural ventilation and daylight.
Standard version with dedicated Nav station. |
Main cabin in two versions
The Xc 45 offers two alternative main cabin layouts: a standard version with a dedicated Nav station, with ample space for navigational and communication equipment. In front of this Nav station is a 190 cm sofa, where one of the back rest cushions
can be hinged down to form a small “drinks table”. Alternatively, we offer a version with a shower compartment adjacent to,
and with access from, the standard head compartment on the starboard side.
This version features two comfortable armchair seats, separated by a fixed Nav table,
and has ample space for navigational and communication equipment by the aft seat.
The flush hatches are all fitted with recessed Oceanair blinds, with roller “blackout” and mosquito blinds;
and all main cabin trunk port lights are equipped with curtains from Oceanair.
En-suite shower version with fixed Nav table. |
A functional galley
The galley is spacious and has all the facilities positioned within easy reach.
The Corian table top, green tinted splashboard and plenty of handholds make
it a functional and seaworthy galley.
Further equipment includes a 140 litre top-loaded standard cooling box,
which can be converted into a deep freezer. Space is provided for an optional
front-opening fridge, a dishwasher and a microwave oven.
Owners Cabin
The front cabin is very spacious, with plenty of wardrobe space, drawers, freeboard
cabinets and shelves. The standard spring mattresses are supported by flexible
laminated battens for optimum comfort and ventilation. Plenty of openable deck
hatches, and the cabin trunk port light, give maximum ventilation and light. The owner’s head is located to port and contains a separate shower unit, with room for
a washing machine.
Aft cabins to suit your needs
The Xc 45 comes standard in the 3-cabin version. This has two almost symmetrical aft cabins; both with ample wardrobe and locker space; and both with maximum ventilation from three openable port lights/deck hatches.
The alternative 2-cabin version features a huge workstation cabin on the starboard aft side. A workbench, with cabinets and drawers for tools and spare parts, provides an ideal solution for the sailors who want to go on a long-distance exploration/voyage. The deep and spacious starboard cockpit seat locker is also accessible from the workstation, as is the engine room, where the optional generator and plenty of the yacht’s additional technical equipment is found. “Workstation cabin” on the starboard aft side. |

Technically advanced
The Xc 45 is designed using the latest and most advanced 3D design programmes,
allowing X-Yachts engineers and technicians to deliver the optimum solutions.
The engine compartment (1), which also holds the hot water tank, is well insulated and ventilated.
The 24V electrical system ensures efficient cabling and reduced transmission losses.
All cabling terminates in a “dry” GRP box fitted behind the main electrical panel in the saloon
for added safety. Piping for all the water systems on board run in dedicated service trays and channels.
The optional heating system (2) is mounted aft, near the transom and dedicated piping (3) runs
throughout the entire yacht. When sailing under warmer skies the optional air con system
offers a comforting extra.
The steering system has two independent quadrants (4) for added safety.
An autopilot (5) has a direct link to the rudder stock.
Sailplan
The Xc 45 sail plan has been developed with long distance cruising in mind. Safe and enjoyable ocean passage requires a very flexible sail plan, utilizing easily adjustable head sail areas. By incorporating the option for a 140% overlapping Genoa as well as an optional inner forestay (without the need for additional runners),
and the option for a bow sprit (A-frame), the Xc 45 is seriously ready for making sailing
a memorable and positive experience.
