About the X 362 Sport

Danish builder X Yachts earned a stellar reputation for producing high-quality performance cruisers, and the X 362 Sport exemplifies this legacy perfectly. Designed by Niels Jeppesen and built from 1993 to 2003, this 35-footer represents the sweet spot between serious cruising capability and competitive racing performance. With 156 hulls produced over its decade-long production run, the X 362 Sport became a popular choice among sailors seeking a well-balanced yacht. The fractional sloop rig and fin keel with bulb configuration deliver excellent sailing characteristics, while the moderate displacement of 10,800 pounds provides stability without sacrificing responsiveness. The generous sail area of 694 square feet and SA/Displacement ratio of 22.8 indicate spirited performance potential. X Yachts' renowned fiberglass construction quality shines through in this model, featuring the solid build standards that made the Danish yard famous. The comfort ratio of 20.47 suggests this boat favors performance over ultimate cruising comfort, making it ideal for coastal cruising, club racing, and weekend sailing. The capsize screening formula of 2.07 indicates reasonable offshore capability for experienced sailors, though coastal waters remain its primary domain. This yacht appeals to sailors who appreciate Scandinavian build quality and balanced sailing characteristics.

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
 22.8
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
 43.89
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
 171.28
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
 20.47
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
 2.07
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. 7.39 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
 3.58
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. 1,241.29 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. 21.06
