X Yachts 73 Ft - Relocated to Caribbean 2015

ANXA is a very special yacht with many unique features, offering the best of all worlds. She has been maintained by professional, full time crew, for the past 7 years. With her easy sail handling systems, she can be sailed by two. She has a comfortable interior for the owner and two couples, with the possibility of an additional number of guests, along with a separate forward crew cabin with separate entrance and independent bathroom facilities. A pilothouse, where the skipper or owner can helm and communicate with guests - who can choose to be seated in a comfortable U-shaped sofa arrangement with perfect view. The general feel is of space compared to most pilothouse alternatives. The engine room has almost full headroom and holds all necessary equipment and machinery for a well prepared boat. Hull recessed gangway with in built lights. She has a transom garage containing a 3.2m RIB. The fact that she has two engines and a bow thruster gives her exceptional maneuverability under power.

This X 73 ft is very different from any other yacht her size. She is a new combination of a Pilot House and a Deck Saloon yacht, yet with the advantages of both concepts. The feel of air and space is "the thing" about ANXA, as the pilot house is connected directly to the main cabin.

(Note: “not for sale to US citizens while in US waters”)

The X-YACHTS 73 is built in accordance with the European CE Certification.

The “ Aristo Blue” hull is an Isotalic Polyester sandwich construction, with biaxial E-glass fabrics. The Core material is 20-40 mm “Divinycell” of different densities vacuum bagged into the outer skins.

There is solid laminate around the keel steel girders, rudder bearings, and at all "through hull" fittings such as sea cocks and bow thruster exits. There are also heat galvanized TPS steel sections, welded together, to form an extended H frame, to take up the loads from the keel and mast. The keel is an Antimony hardened lead bulb with a cast iron top flange, including a central keel sump. The entire keel is totally encapsulated in GRP and faired with polyester filler.

The hull is laminated with extensive use of biaxial E-glass fabrics, while the structural bulkheads are of a composite sandwich, decorated with 4 - 6 mm teak marine plywood, securely bonded to both hull and deck. Watertight bulkheads separate the sail/crew cabin and the owner's cabin.

The boat has a shoal draft fin keel which is aft swept and features a tail and winglets.

Deck

The teak deck was brand new in Nov 2013, laid in 11mm Burmese teak, along all side decks, the coach roof in front of the steering house, the outer cockpit coamings, all the seats and floors in the cockpit and the aft stern steps, the last meter of the garage and the inside of the transom door.

All windows are mounted into a moulded GRP house, which is laminated as part of the deck
molding and comprise of laminated 16 mm hardened smoke coloured glass.

The deck hatches are chrome polished, Lewmar Ocean series, new in 4/2012, the new forward deck hatch new in 3/2013.

The port lights in the deck house and hull are all chrome polished Lewmar Atlantic series.

All deck hatches except for the companion way sliding hatch have newly refurbished or brand new (master cabin) SKY SCREEN blinds and fly screen units integrated into the headlining.

The cockpit has two seating areas, one situated around a folding dining table under a bimini, the centre of the table housing a generous drinks refrigerator. The other seating area is just aft of the two steering wheels. These operate well as two social areas.

The transom door is a hydraulically operated, chain driven system, operating by switch or newly installed wireless remote.

The transom port when open is a practical bathing platform and has a recessed, folded, stainless steel bathing ladder, along with integrated rollers which continue the length of the door and into the garage to enable the smooth launching and retrieval of a RIB. There is a remotely operated winch new for 2013 which assists with tender launching and retrieval. It is also a convenient place to board the yacht from the dingy.

The gangway is an OPACMARE and is 2.6m when fully extended, it is an extractable, collapsible gangway, made up of three stainless steel telescopic segments with teak grating and recessed lighting, housed in an aluminium container and is completely hidden into the transom when retracted. Hydraulically controlled with a digital control panel, or small wireless remote control.

Steering

The 2 brand new in 2014 rudder blades, each just aft of the propellers, are steered by one of the three steering positions, either the two helm positions in the cockpit, or from the helm station in the pilot house. The system is hydraulic, and designed for safety so that when steering with one wheel, the other wheels are passive and do not turn, there is also an alternate hydraulic system in case of failure of the primary, for added safety.

Mooring and anchoring / rafts

Double U-shaped anchor bow roller, with an attachment eye for a asymmetrical spinnaker/ gennaker.
50kg Bruce anchor, with 100 m long galvanized steel, 12 mm, calibrated chain.
The bow anchor winch is a hydraulic Lewmar 3000 Gypsy/Drum windlass, with a max load of 1591kg.
Anchor controls are at the helm, plus there is a wired remote control at the winch.
Furthermore, there is a 30kg Bruce stern anchor, with 40m, 12 mm stainless steel chain.
The central stern push pits has a quick launching system for the 2 six pax Autoflug life rafts, as well as space for a quick release inflatable dan buoy and EPIRB.
