Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 21 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 21
CoastalBluewater

2.04 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.04
LightHeavy

177 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 177
EasygoingPowered-up

20.2 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 20.2
TenderStiff

41% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 41%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

What the fleet has seen

The X Yachts X-332, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The X Yachts X-332 is a fractional sloop designed by Niels Jeppesen and built by X Yachts between 1994 and 2005, with a SPORT model variant also available. It measures 10.1 meters LOA, 3.3 meters beam, 1.8 meters draft, and displaces 4349 kg. The X-332 features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull. While not directly compared, the Elan Yachts 350 is considered a benchmark for modern performance cruisers, and the Beneteau First 36 offers a contemporary design. The X-332's specifications place it among performance-oriented cruisers of its era.
