Xiphias of Dee – my boat

Description

Xiphias of Dee (aka Xippy)  is a boat built by X-Yachts of Denmark in 1999 to the X-332 design that errs more on performance. The keel is a deep fin design with a lead bulb at the end. She is tiller steered and the mainsheet traveller runs across the cockpit. The cockpit is surrounded by angled coamings where the main winches are placed. All very conventional and there is nothing special about the layout, until you set sail!
