2007 X-Yachts 35

Step aboard and you’ll notice how everything falls to hand: winches exactly where you want them, wide side decks, and solid hardware sized for real breeze, not just marina looks. The helm is light and precise, so threading into a tight slip or surfing down a swell feels equally natural. Below, the cabin strikes that sweet spot between performance and comfort—ample storage, practical sea-going galley, and berths that actually work underway, not just at the dock. Ventilation and natural light are thoughtfully arranged, so longer weekends don’t feel cramped. This is a boat that invites you to tweak trim, chase telltales, then settle in with a good meal and a tired, happy crew.

This design really shines in a mixed sailing area where you might see light morning breezes build into a stiff afternoon chop. The hull shape and deep, efficient keel keep the boat on its feet when the breeze is up, while the generous sail plan rewards active trimming in lighter air. You’ll appreciate the responsive helm when short-tacking along a busy shoreline or threading race starts in crowded waters. Below, the practical layout and multiple sea berths make overnight regattas and coastal hops comfortable for a full crew. It’s an ideal platform for sailors who want to race hard, then cruise the same weekend without changing boats.
