X‑41

QuiXotic is an X‑41 performance cruiser‑racer, owned by Andrew Middleton and based at the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria (RYCV). Designed by Niels Jeppesen and built by X‑Yachts, the X‑41 was introduced in 2007 as a yacht capable of both one-design fleet racing and offshore cruising. The design quickly gained an international reputation for its combination of speed, stability, and versatility.

The X‑41 has a strong track record internationally, with class events and regattas demonstrating the design’s speed, responsiveness, and tactical potential. QuiXotic, in particular, has campaigned extensively in Australian waters, participating in both coastal and offshore racing, reinforcing the class’s reputation as a capable and versatile yacht for sailors seeking performance without compromising comfort.
