MEC Sail are offering this X-35 for skippered racing charters for up to 10 people, but she is also available for fast cruising in the Solent. Expertly tuned for top performance racing, she performs extremely well in close fleet racing, giving those who sail her much pleasure in all conditions.

With the open transom, the large working cockpit in front of the steering wheel and all control lines on hand at both sides, the X-35 is an exciting yacht to race around the buoys.

From the outset the X-35 was meant to be a strict one design class to ensure racing on a high and equal level. In so doing the crews can concentrate on sailing the X-35s and select the best tactics to win races and have fun together with their fellow competitors.

Her hull, keel and rudder configuration gives the helmsman a very light and direct feel of the yacht, and she responds immediately to minor corrections. The sail plan, with the powerful main sail and 106% max jib, has the ability to accelerate the X-35 out of tacks, and keep her in the fast lane upwind. The non-overlapping jib makes it easy for a shorthanded crew or family to sail the X-35, and an optional furling headsail converts the X-35 into a family friendly yacht.

Much attention has been paid to details on deck to make the X-35 easy to handle. Her cockpit is open and functional with a pleasingly clean layout. Her large wheel allows the helmsman to have a good view of the foresail, yet requires very little effort to steer her through the sea.

The X-35 has sleeping accommodation for eight persons and will comfortably take a family of four - six out cruising.
