We reply within 2-3 days.

The previous X-412 page says production ran from 1990 to 1994, about 141 hulls, and the yard was in Hirtshals. The X-Yachts previous-models page says something else: 1990-2003, 252 hulls, hull length 12.90 m. This was the first boat of their Performance Cruiser range. In the same Wikipedia table, 141 hulls belong to the X-382, not to this one. The yard is in Haderslev.

Sailguide does not use 1994 as the last year. It says the model was updated in 1994, including the keel and the interior, and that production ran until about 2003. A further update in 2000 is marked there as reported, not as a yard line. "Just over 250" on Sailguide sits beside 252. It does not replace it.

Key takeaways

  • Best for: papers that treat 1994 as a keel update, not the last year
  • Common issue: the old page used the X-382 hull count and the wrong town
  • Typical price: no sourced kronor band; 9,500 kg is not on the sheets

Design history

The designer is Niels Jeppesen on sailboatdata and on Sailguide. The rig is masthead. This site's card shows 12.42 m, 3.91 m, and the years 1990-2003. The beam of 3.91 m matches sailboatdata and the standard table on two yard brokerage sheets, hulls 138 and 182. The length does not. The yard and sailboatdata print 12.90 m, which is 42.33 ft. The Sailguide card says 12.9 m. The previous page printed 12.5 m and a beam of 3.75 m. Those figures are not on these sheets. This site's card stays at 12.42 m. The sheets do not say where that length came from.

Weight. sailboatdata: displacement 7,384 kg, which is 16,280 lb, ballast 3,493 kg, which is 7,700 lb, ballast type lead, draft 2.08 m, which is 6.83 ft, reported sail area 77.20 m². The triangle sum on the same page is 77.16 m². The yard's standard table on hulls 138 and 182: light displacement 7,385 kg, ballast 3,493 kg, draft 2.08 m, fuel 129 L, water 216 L. The same 129 L and 216 L are on sailboatdata, and the engine there is a Volvo, with no horsepower. The Sailguide card: weight 7,400 kg, draft 2.1 m, a lead keel of 3,500 kg. 7,384 kg and 16,280 lb are one line. 7,385 kg on the yard table sits beside it. So does 7,400 kg on Sailguide. "About 9,500 kg" from the previous page is not in these sheets. Ballast of 3,493 kg and 3,500 kg stay apart.

The shallow draft in the sailboatdata note is 6.16 ft. Taking a foot as 0.3048 m, that is 1.88 m, and that is a conversion, not a second source. Hull 182's advert text says a 2.10 m keel, while the table on the same page still says 2.08 m. We do not pick one figure from 2.08 m, 2.1 m, 2.10 m, and 6.16 ft. This site's card shows no draft.

Sailguide on the hull: hand layup, a sandwich with 20 mm Divinycell, a galvanised steel frame in the bottom. The series interior is not one plan. Hull 182, year 2001, is described in its advert as three cabins, two heads, and a long galley. That is one boat.

Typical problems

The previous page puts the end of production in 1994 and uses another model's hull count. Until the papers show the year and which keel followed the 1994 update, draft and displacement from a single row do not apply.

Buyer FAQ

Are 141 hulls this boat?

No. 141 hulls and a hull length of 11.73 m belong to the X-382. For the X-412, the yard, sailboatdata, and the Wikipedia table print 252 hulls and a hull length of 12.90 m.

Is 1994 the last year?

That is how the previous page reads. Sailguide says the keel and the interior were changed in 1994, and that production ran until about 2003. The yard prints 2003. The 2000 update on Sailguide is marked as reported. It is not a yard line.

Annual ownership costs

The table of 100,000-230,000 kronor from the previous page stays off this one. It has no source. The asking price of one advert stays off too. That is one boat, not a series.

Calculators for this boat

Indicative figure for weekend use. The country supplies berth and winter. The insurance line stays the Swedish planning band - not a Danish, German, or Dutch premium. Maintenance stays Swedish too. Not a marina quote.

Pre-purchase survey checklist

Before a deposit, read the year and the keel, not the line "1990-1994, 141 hulls".

  • The yard's last year is 2003. On Sailguide, 1994 is a keel and interior update. The year 2000 there is marked as reported.
  • The hull count is 252, not 141. 141 is the X-382.
  • Length. This site's card says 12.42 m. The yard says 12.90 m. The beam of 3.91 m on the card matches sailboatdata.
  • Draft: 2.08 m on sailboatdata and on the yard's standard table, 2.1 m on the Sailguide card, 2.10 m in the text of hull 182's advert, or 6.16 ft in the sailboatdata note. This site's card shows no draft.
  • Ballast: 3,493 kg on sailboatdata and on the yard table, or 3,500 kg on Sailguide. Lead, 20 mm Divinycell, and a steel frame in the bottom are on that Sailguide row.

Neighbouring page: the X-382. Do not paste its hull count onto this one.
