XO Sailer XO Classic

FOR SALE – XO Classic REFIT 2025: High-end sailboat, combining performance and comfort

If you are looking for a sailboat that is both high-performing and easy to handle, the XO Classic is the ideal choice. The result of collaboration between builder Alexandre Genoud and designer Paolo Bua, this model combines elegance, durability, and technical innovations. Designed for pleasant inland navigation, this sailboat offers a unique sailing experience, even for less experienced sailors.

Main features:

• Original and high-performance design: a day boat offering the comfort of a cruiser and the responsiveness of a competitive dinghy (505 type).


• High-quality construction: Hull and deck in carbon, manufactured using a vacuum infusion process at the specialized shipyard "Grand Largue Composite" in Caen, combining stiffness, strength, and lightness.


• Excellent performance: Its reverse bow promotes a very good upwind angle close-hauled and good handling against short, steep waves. The wide stern enhances stability and surfing starts on downwind points of sail. The keel weight to total weight ratio (50%) provides excellent rigidity to the sail plan, enhancing the sailboat's responsiveness.


• Simplified handling: The deep rudder, as well as the absence of backstays and shrouds, greatly facilitate maneuvers.


• Cruising comfort: The XO Classic can be sailed in "cruising" mode for a relaxing and comfortable experience. The cabin allows for four berths.


• High-end equipment: top-quality deck hardware including Harken winches and blocks, Dyneema ropes, and premium fittings.


• Hydraulically retractable keel: With a draft of 1.80 m reduced to only 25 cm, this boat is perfect for shallow waters and allows easy beaching. It can be transported (lightweight for its size and width under 2.5 m) and launched at a ramp (no crane needed).


• Customizable: This model was designed to adapt to the navigation projects of its owners on the Arcachon basin.
