We reply within 2-3 days.

The card on this site ends the X-442 in 2016. The X-Yachts previous-models page ends it in 2003: 127 hulls, hull length 13.51 m. This was the third boat of their Performance Cruiser range. The previous page put 2002, about 180 hulls, a fractional rig, and the yard in Hirtshals. sailboatdata prints a masthead rig, the same 127 hulls, and the same years 1993-2003. The yard is in Haderslev. The sheets we opened do not say where 2016 on the card comes from. The card keeps that year.

Sailguide says the X-442 Mk II was shown in 1999: compared with the first version, the keel, rudder, and interior were updated. The years on that card are 1999-2003. A brochure on the yard's site also names 1999 as the year that version was introduced. Measurements in the open text of that file do not read cleanly, so length and weight stay with the sheets above.

Key takeaways

  • Best for: papers that stop at 2003, not the 2016 on this card
  • Common issue: the old page called the rig fractional and the hull count about 180
  • Typical price: no sourced kronor band; 7,020 kg is not on the sheets

Design history

The designer is Niels Jeppesen on sailboatdata and on Sailguide. This site's card shows 13.41 m, 4.13 m, and the years 1993-2016. The beam of 4.13 m matches sailboatdata. The length does not. The yard and sailboatdata print 13.51 m, which is 44.33 ft. The Sailguide card for the 1999 version says length 13.5 m and beam 4.15 m. The previous page printed 13.5 m and a beam of 4.32 m. A beam of 4.32 m is not on these sheets. This site's card stays at 13.41 m.

Weight. sailboatdata: displacement 9,662 kg, which is 21,300 lb, ballast 4,300 kg, which is 9,480 lb, draft 2.29 m, which is 7.50 ft, waterline 11.20 m, reported sail area 88.82 m². The triangle sum on the same page is 88.78 m². The engine is a Yanmar 3JH3H, fuel 182 L, water 299 L. Horsepower is not named. The Sailguide card: weight 9,700 kg, draft 2.3 m, a lead keel of 4,300 kg. 9,662 kg and 21,300 lb are one line. 9,700 kg sits beside it, not the same line. "About 7,020 kg" from the previous page is not in these sheets. Ballast of 4,300 kg is the same figure on both sheets. The drafts 2.29 m and 2.3 m stay apart. sailboatdata does not print a shallow draft for this boat. This site's card shows no draft.

The hull on the Sailguide card for the 1999 version: a sandwich, Divinycell 20-25 mm, ABS hull certification, a galvanised steel frame in the bottom. Which hulls received the 1999 update is not a numbered list.

Typical problems

Three end years do not add up to one. This site's card says 2016. The yard, sailboatdata, and the Wikipedia table say 2003. The previous page said 2002. Until the papers show the year and whether the boat is the first version or the 1999 update, a draft from a single row does not apply. sailboatdata does not support the fractional rig from the previous page. The rig there is masthead.

Buyer FAQ

Are 180 hulls this boat?

No. The yard, sailboatdata, and the Wikipedia table print 127. "About 180" is only on the previous page. The X-412 has its own count, 252. Do not paste that count here.

Can 2016 stay as the last year?

It is already on this site's card. On the yard's sheets, on sailboatdata, on Sailguide, and in Wikipedia the last year is 2003. Those sheets do not say where 2016 comes from.

Annual ownership costs

The table of 70,000-180,000 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.

  • Netherlands (annual contract)€6,090 - €9,448
  • Sweden (planning bands)€8,050 - €12,750
  • Denmark (two harbours, season)€6,154 - €9,327

Antifouling

Litres need waterline length and draft. This page only has length overall and beam, so litres are not calculated here.

Pre-purchase survey checklist

Before a deposit, read the year and the rig, not the line "1993-2002, about 180 hulls".

  • The yard's last year is 2003. This site's card says 2016. The previous page put 2002. There is no sheet for 2016 in the sources opened here.
  • The hull count is 127, not about 180.
  • Rig. sailboatdata prints masthead. The fractional rig from the previous page is not taken from there. The 1999 update on Sailguide changes the keel, the rudder, and the interior, not the name of the rig.
  • Length. This site's card says 13.41 m. The yard says 13.51 m. The beam of 4.13 m on the card matches sailboatdata. On the 1999 version Sailguide prints a beam of 4.15 m.
  • Draft: 2.29 m on sailboatdata, or 2.3 m on Sailguide. This site's card shows no draft.
  • The engine on the sailboatdata sheet is a Yanmar 3JH3H. Fuel 182 L, water 299 L. Horsepower is not written there.

Neighbouring page: the X-412. Do not paste its 252 hulls or its 1994 update onto this one.
