¿Qué cubre este video?

The X-Yachts XR41 is a 41-foot performance racer designed to bridge the gap between competitive regatta sailing and shorthanded cruising.Watch Tested in the Netherlands in 8–9 meters per second winds and challenging, sharp current-driven seas, the boat maintains neutral helm balance and achieves speeds reaching double digits.1:46 The hull features a modified keel with added lead ballast to increase stability for shorthanded crews sailing without rail weight.6:20 The deck layout is optimized for two-person operation, featuring a square-top mainsail that simplifies handling by eliminating the need for complex backstay adjustments.6:33 Additional shorthanded modifications include extra clutches on the coachroof and lines led to the cockpit for Cunningham and vang adjustments.3:06 The interior is modular; owners can remove the galley, tables, and cabinetry to shed approximately 350 kilograms for racing.4:42 The layout places the galley and head forward to maximize space, providing 1.9 meters of standing headroom.5:29 While the boat performs well in both configurations, the modular design allows for a transition from a luxury cruiser to a stripped-out racing platform.5:49
