42' X-Yachts Xc 42 2018

The Xc 42 offers true flexibility. The adaptable sail plan ensures superb pace on all angles, with options including an inner fore stay (without runners). The Xc 42 may fly either a 140% overlapping genoa or smaller 108% genoa, 90% self-tacking jib, or asymmetric spinnaker, for relaxing sailing on long blue water passages and short stopovers, sailing with two crew or a full complement of guests.

Sail area may be easily adjusted thanks to a furling fore stay and slab-reefing mainsail, or optional in-boom furling. Anchoring and mooring are also stress-free, thanks to a bow thruster, electric windlass, large bow locker, and optional stern davits for a tender.

The exterior of the Xc 42 also benefits from some updates for 2015, including optional teak on the side decks and coach roofs, as well as new hull and canvas color choices. The bathing platform has increased in size, and the standard wheels now incorporate ‘crashbars’ with an option for integrating the throttle and bow-thruster controls. 

Interior - multiple options. The Xc 42 is offered in two spacious three-cabin layouts, with either a forward-facing or central navigation station, and either a compact WC or extra-generous wet room-style heads, both accessible from the main saloon. 

New interior styling points for 2015 include full LED lighting, both above and below decks. Thanks to new larger hull port lights there is also increased natural light in the saloon and cabins. The galley features new fixtures and fittings, including automatic soft-close drawers, and space for appliances such as a microwave and Nespresso machines.
