Well-maintained Danish performance cruiser with extensive equipment and significant upgrades

A particularly well-maintained X-Yachts X-40, build number 31 from 2005, is offered for sale. Bellatrix combines the classic characteristics of X-Yachts: excellent sailing performance, high build quality, safe construction, and a comfortable layout with three cabins. The boat is suitable for both fast family sailing, longer holiday trips, and racing.

In recent years, the boat has undergone a number of significant investments and upgrades, including professional repainting of the hull, newer sails, updated instruments, a new sprayhood, and a Quick-Pack boom bag.

Bellatrix presents itself as a continuously maintained and upgraded vessel with an attractive combination of speed, balance, and comfort. The large wheel steering, well-designed cockpit, and six Andersen winches provide excellent working conditions while sailing. The bow thruster and electric windlass make harbor maneuvers and anchoring simple.

Below deck is a bright and functional layout with three separate cabins, a spacious saloon, galley, electric toilet, hot water system, and oil heater.
