HOWEVER THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND TEXT ARE COVERED BY COPYRIGHT, AND MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF YACHTSNET LTD.

X-402

Brief details

Builder

X-Yachts, Haderslev, Denmark

The X-402 is a stylish fast cruiser-racer, one of the many such designs from X-Yachts of Denmark. Like all X-Yachts, the 402 is rigged and equipped for racing, which means good quality deck gear that actually works well, yet fitted out as a comfortable but fast cruiser. She has a twin double aft cabin layout. A major factor in price will be how hard the yacht has been raced, and how much damage has been done to finish and hull. Also, sail inventory may incluse very new and expensive sails, or only tired ones.

X-Yachts was established in Denmark in 1979, and quickly developed a reputation for fast cruisers that could also win races. Some models, such as the X99, of which 600 were built, have established themselves as popular club racing one-designs, whilst the larger models such as this 1985 X-402 remain popular as fast cruisers which can still give all-out racers some competition on the racecourse. Designed by Neils Jeppesen in 1984, the X-402 hull was used for a one-off pure racer which won the One Ton Cup in 1986. About 80 X-402s were built between 1984 and 1990, production yachts being offered with a choice of fractional rig (as in the example illustrated here) or masthead rig.

Each of the two mirror-image aft cabins has a double berth and a small locker and seating area

 

The X-402, although with a fully fitted cruising interior, is very definitely a performance yacht on the light displacement side

The three-spreader fractional rig has runners. Standing rigging is rod
