What this video covers

The Xc 47, a 47-foot performance cruiser from X-Yachts, features an epoxy-built hull and a design optimized for long-distance liveaboard sailing. During test sails in 7–8 meters per second of wind, the boat maintains competitive upwind speed, pointing higher than a Bavaria 46 but lower than a Shogun 43.0:46 The helm feels slightly heavy, and the cockpit layout places winches and clutches on the coaming, which restricts seating space for the helmsman.1:20 Below deck, the interior utilizes multiple floor levels to maximize storage and accommodate large windows, with technical systems and tanks located beneath the floorboards to lower the center of gravity.2:55 The galley and saloon prioritize ergonomics, including a modular dining table and a lounge area with adjustable cushions.2:55 The forward master cabin offers a 2.1-meter berth and a large head, while the aft cabins include space for a washing machine and a generator.4:23 The vessel retails for approximately 12 million NOK.5:35
