About the X 332 Sport

Danish builder X Yachts introduced the X 332 Sport in 1994 as part of their performance-oriented lineup, showcasing designer Niels Jeppesen's expertise in creating fast, seaworthy sailing yachts. This 33-footer exemplifies the Scandinavian approach to yacht design, balancing racing performance with cruising capability through thoughtful engineering and quality construction. Built with fiberglass and Divinycell core construction, the X 332 Sport features a modern fin keel with bulb configuration that provides excellent stability and pointing ability. The fractional sloop rig delivers responsive handling, while the substantial sail area to displacement ratio of 21.01 indicates this boat was designed to move quickly in light to moderate conditions. With a comfort ratio of 19.4, the design leans decidedly toward performance rather than pure cruising comfort. The boat's low capsize screening value of 2.08 demonstrates its seaworthy characteristics, making it suitable for coastal sailing and extended offshore passages. X Yachts built their reputation on producing well-engineered boats that appeal to serious sailors who appreciate Scandinavian build quality, and the 332 Sport continues this tradition as a capable performer for both competitive sailing and spirited cruising.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 21.01
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 34.14
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 166.81
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 19.4
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 2.08
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 7.21 kn
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
 3.64
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 1,119.11 pounds/inch
SA/Displacement (Calc) Calculated Sail Area to Displacement ratio using actual measured sail dimensions rather than reported values. More precise than the reported SA/Disp figure. 21
