About the Xc 47

X-Yachts launched their Xc 47 in 2023 as part of their celebrated cruising line, bringing Danish precision engineering to the performance cruising market. This 49.90-foot sailboat strikes an impressive balance between spirited sailing characteristics and long-distance comfort, making it equally suited for competitive coastal racing and extended offshore passages. The hull features X-Yachts' signature fin keel with bulb configuration paired with a spade rudder, delivering responsive handling and excellent windward performance. At 31,967 pounds displacement with 12,103 pounds of ballast, the boat carries enough weight for stability in challenging conditions while maintaining the relatively light feel that X-Yachts is renowned for. The fractional sloop rig provides versatile sail handling options and reduces weather helm in heavy air. Built with high-quality GRP construction in Denmark, the Xc 47 reflects X-Yachts' reputation for meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. The comfort ratio of 29.77 indicates a moderate motion at sea, while the capsize screening formula of 1.89 suggests good stability for offshore work. With an 80-horsepower engine and theoretical hull speed of 8.81 knots, this yacht appeals to sailors seeking performance-oriented cruising with racing pedigree.

Performance Ratios
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
 37.86
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
 176.89
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
 29.77
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
 1.89
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. 8.81 kn
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. 2,309.74 pounds/inch
