This Mk2 Xc 38 with shallow draft keel is presented in excellent condition. Significant recent investment in upgrades mean 'Elixir' is comprehensively equipped for extended coastal and offshore cruising. Maintenance by X-Yachts throughout her life both by X-Yachts UK in Hamble and more recently X-Yachts Palma, no expense has been spared in maintaining 'Elixir' to the highest standard. Her shallow draft keel (1.68m) opens up more cruising areas yet still offers the superb, proven performance and sailing experience expected from X-Yachts. She is a fast and capable yacht with cruising comforts and impressive living and storage space for her size. Currently afloat in Palma, Mallorca, 'Elixir' enjoys UK VAT paid status which can be retained for a UK owner. Contact us to discuss your VAT requirements and for viewing arrangements.

I wanted a yacht that I could comfortably manage solo, single-handed or short-handed, while still having the space, comfort and capability for extended cruising.The Xc 38 has proved to be exactly that. She is fast, stable, exceptionally capable and remarkably easy to handle, whether sailing single-handed, short-handed or with family and friends. At anchor and in harbour she is a home from home, with everything needed for extended periods aboard without the additional complexity of a significantly larger yacht.The Xc 38 is, for me, the perfect balance between size, comfort, performance and manageability. Elixir’s shoal keel has also been a real advantage, drawing just 1.68m and opening up anchorages and harbours that would otherwise be unavailable.Elixir has taken me on extensive cruising adventures and has always inspired enormous confidence. She is equally suited to serious passage-making, relaxed coastal cruising and comfortable time aboard.”
