The X-Yachts Xc 45 is a Danish performance cruising sailboat designed by the X-Yachts Design Group and built by X-Yachts in Haderslev from 2008 to 2024 (and continued in a Next Generation version). Winner of "European Yacht of the Year 2009 — Luxury Cruiser," the Xc 45 introduced X-Yachts' cruiser line (the "c") with a relatively narrow hull for fast, well-mannered upwind sailing combined with a quality interior and deck layout aimed at couples who value sailing performance as much as cruising comfort. Solid glass below the waterline, a galvanized steel framework, and premium finishing bring the X-Yachts build standard to the cruiser market. The Xc 45 is a regular ARC and ARC Europe participant.
