FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:
Delivered to her first owner in 2021 at the X-Yachts shipyard in Denmark, MEDUSA was used for seatrials only before her first owner decided to order a larger X-Yacht. She was then placed back ashore at the X-Yachts shipyard where her current and second owner bought her in 2022 and immediately spent a further Euro 70,000 on additional upgrades including teak decks, vinyl hull wrap, additional genoa tracks, furling Code 0 and gennaker equipment, upgraded charger/inverter and so on. Having sailed MEDUSA down the Mediterranean during the 2022 season, her owner has enjoyed use of the boat through the 2023 season, but now reluctantly offers the boat for sale as he is now focused on other projects.

MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:
Pure Enjoyment.
The X4⁶ is a versatile and fast family cruiser, that helps you to make the most out of every moment. Advanced hull construction, a powerful sail plan and a well proportioned co*ckpit, put you at the centre of an engaging sailing experience. We call this “Superior Sailing Pleasure”.
Down below, Scandinavian style and craftsmanship create a place where you will always enjoy spending time. The X4⁶ exhibits quality and attention to detail, both inside and out, helping to realise its purpose as an excellent sailing yacht. This is Pure X.
Modern Hull Design & Construction.
The hull design of the X4⁶ follows the latest design philosophy, which maximises sailing performance. Designed to excel in all wind conditions, due to a generous sail plan, coupled to a high quality mast and rig, including discontinuous rod rigging as standard.
X4⁶ hulls are built with X-Yachts’ advanced technology, including vacuum epoxy infusion, and incorporating X-Yachts’ famous steel keel grillage to securely hold the composite lead/iron keel, in place for outstanding safety in all conditions.
Intuitive Deck Layout
The deck layout takes a combination of the features from both her siblings; a self-taking jib is standard, with sheet handled by one of the halyard winches, and a mainsheet track is recessed into the co*ckpit sole with an 8:1 purchase traveller control system. Mainsheets are lead up to winches, that are within easy reach of the helmsman.
Large Harken self-tailing winches are standard, and can optionally be electrified along with one of the halyard winches.
Teak Decks
Teak comes as standard in the co*ckpit, on the seats and the sole, and is optional on the sidedeck and coachroof top, as well as on the optional electrical operated bathing platform.
Sailplan.
A hull with powerful lines, a precision moulded composite T keel with a heavy bulb of lead giving a high degree of stability, enables the X4⁶ to sail fast and point high to the wind.
Interior Craftsmanship
The influence of clean Scandinavian design, can be seen throughout the interior. The X4⁶ is being traditional but with a modern appearance. The Danish quality craftsmanship is of a very high standard with finely crafted details, and showcases carpentry at its very best. The wooden veneer will be Nordic Oak as standard, with other options on offer.
Natural Light and Fresh Air
The toughened glass coachroof windows, flood the interior with natural light. In addition to the large flush skylights, sections of the side windows are also open-able to provide excellent ventilation. Each aft cabin has an open-able portlight in the co*ckpit and additionally an outboard facing opening in the coaming windows. Combined with the flush skylight, the aft cabins have optimal ventilation, which is a great benefit in warmer climates.
PRESS REVIEW:
The X46 was conceived as a fast, fun, easy-to-handle cruising yacht – and that’s exactly what she is. Her speed-to-effort ratio is probably among the best you will find in a monohull because she’s small enough to be easily handled by a couple while her race-bred design makes sure she covers the ground at an impressive rate.
She’s not an inexpensive boat and it’s easy to see why. Epoxy-infused, post-cured, cored laminates cost money. So do lead bulbs, flush seaco*cks, internal steel grids, high-quality joinery and accessible systems. As the saying goes, ‘you pays your money…’
It’s reassuring to know that the entire design and construction process is completed by X-Yachts in-house. And British owners will be pleased to know that the design office, headed by X-Yachts’ co-founder Niels Jeppesen, is based on the Hamble.
It’s also good to hear an owner’s thoughts about the boat he or she chose and why. Clemens once owned a sporty version of a 36ft cruiser that proved too powerful for him and his wife to handle. With the FurlerBoom and self-tacking jib he says the X46 is ‘very relaxing to sail but still with good speed and performance’.
