The Xc range is now firmly established in the high-end cruising sector. The manufacturer with the three waterline stripes has therefore not hesitated to go one step further in adapting its new cruiser to long-distance cruising. The Xc 47 is the first of a new generation of cruisers to feature a deep, fully enclosed cockpit with a wide aft bench seat, manoeuvring back to the helm stations and a semblance of a deck saloon – thanks to a raised deckhouse and level floors. Every detail of the 47 has been studied, including the impact of heeling, using a model. Inside, storage space is omnipresent, with a view to long-distance travel. The construction is faithful to the Danish shipyard’s standards: steel structure and carbon reinforcement. More information at xm-marine.ch.
