Slightly inverted stem, narrow knife-edge hull, double hull, superstructure “of your choice”, outboard drive… With the arrival of the new 29 XC Cross Cabin, the Finnish shipyard remains true to its concept of a versatile cruiser. Axopar offers a more open “Sun Top” version of this 29-footer (solarium and outside saloon) for milder weather cruising. But let’s get back to the Cross Cabin, with its false airs of a coastal patrol boat… Just like the keel. The look is eye-catching, and performance should live up to expectations, with a top speed of 48 knots and a cruising speed of 36 knots, without calling on an insane amount of horsepower. Maximum power (dual engine possible) peaks at 400 hp, which, for the size of this boat, remains quite modest. And its range, claimed at over 200 miles, correlates with the identity of this “sport helmsman”, designed above all for sailing. The forward cabin (with optional toilet and washbasin) is also designed with this in mind. Several options are available for fitting out the stern with an additional double cabin. In this case, the deckhouse is fitted with a sunbathing mattress.
