The Xc 47 was in September, nominated for European Yacht of the Year 2024.
Last week the jury test sailed the boat in Barcelona and today we can proudly announce that we have been selected for the “Luxury Cruiser” category.
The Xc 47 will be up against the Contest 50CS, Jeanneau Yachts 55 and the Arcona 50.
The reactions we got from the many dealers and clients that flew to Barcelona/Port Ginesta for the Xc 47 sea trials this week, were remarkably positive!
“With the Xc 47, you seem to have created an all-new category named ‘Bluewater Performance Yacht’. The boat performs better than any other luxury cruiser I have ever sailed”
“The Xc47 is like a piece of art in every detail. There is a very strong design story standing behind it. And I am blown away by the build quality as well.”
“Until I sailed the Xc47 in Barcelona I have never in my 40 years with sailing gone out in 28 knots of wind and rough seas with the full wardrope up – and feeling safe.”
“The interior. The generous amounts of space, natural light and fresh air. The unlimited lookout no matter where you are in the boat. The enormous and easily accessible storage space. The beautiful kitchen. The well protected cockpit and much more. My husband says it performs better than any other cruiser, and I’m sure he is right, but first of all it’s a yacht we can handle as a couple - and live in for years!”
