The Xr 41 is a 14.6-meter fractional sloop designed by X-Yachts for both competitive racing and shorthanded cruising, built from 2025. It features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, a 2.4-meter draft, and a displacement of 7150 kg. The Xr 41's hull geometry is AI-optimized for ORC rating advantages, incorporating a high-volume bow and an extreme V-shaped stern for early planing and stability at heel.watch Aboard SEILmagasinet's review, the boat maintained neutral helm balance and achieved double-digit speeds in 8–9 m/s winds and challenging seas off the Netherlands.1:46 The deck layout, optimized for two-person operation, includes eight winches and trim lines accessible from the rail, mirroring TP52 configurations.1:41 For shorthanded sailing, it features a square-top mainsail, extra coachroof clutches, and cockpit-led lines for Cunningham and vang adjustments.3:06 The interior is modular, allowing removal of the galley, tables, and cabinetry to shed approximately 350 kg for racing, with the galley and head placed forward to maximize 1.9 meters of standing headroom.6:24 The base price for the Xr 41, including a carbon mast but excluding sails, is 438,000 euros, with fully equipped versions reaching up to 10 million NOK.6:24
