Designed by the renowned Niels Jeppesen, this model launched in 1988 was conceived to offer a perfect balance between speed, maneuverability, and comfort on board. Its hull, equipped with a lead fin keel and a reinforced fiber rudder, ensures stability and agility even in demanding conditions. The X-Yachts 119 has been meticulously maintained; both the interior and exterior are in excellent condition, supported by a thorough maintenance program and recent upgrades, including an antifouling coat applied in June 2024.
The work carried out in 2022 prepared this sailboat to undertake even an Atlantic crossing, which translates into a wide range of equipment focused on safety and autonomy. The navigation electronics, entirely from Raymarine, include an EV-100 autopilot, Axiom 9 chartplotter, I70 instruments, radar, and wind and depth repeaters, offering clear and reliable management both in coastal navigation and offshore. The communication system features a state-of-the-art VHF with ASN, as well as an Iridium GO satellite phone to maintain connectivity in remote areas.
In terms of safety, the X-Yachts 119 is equipped with essential elements for long crossings: EPIRB beacon, Seamaster liferaft for six people, two life jackets with AIS, new fire extinguishers, additional safety equipment, and a floating anchor. Life on board is comfortable and safe thanks to a classic and functional interior layout: a V-berth in the bow, a salon with opposing sofas, a galley to port, two aft cabins, and a bathroom with a shower in the hallway leading to the bow. The interior carpentry, made of fine woods and high-quality veneers, is kept in outstanding condition, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Habitability is guaranteed for six crew members, distributed across two cabins, and the cabin height of 1.85 meters allows for comfortable movement. The cushions, made of high-density foam and upholstered in marine vinyl and acrylic, are in very good condition. The bathroom has been recently updated, including a new cabinet and hot water system. The galley is equipped with a two-burner Opumus gas stove, refrigerator, and a reliable water system, allowing for meal preparation even on long voyages.
Energy autonomy on board is ensured by two 1000-watt solar panels and a Rutlan wind generator, as well as new batteries and renewed wiring. LED lighting throughout the boat and a 12-volt battery charger enhance independence and comfort. For anchoring, there is a stainless steel anchor and new chain, while the windlass has been recently reinforced for added safety.
In terms of sails, the sailboat includes two mainsails (one of them new), a Vermont Sailing Partners genoa in impeccable condition, and two nylon spinnakers, along with a Selden 200S furling system on the forestay. The mast and boom, both made of aluminum, feature an updated navigation light system. The rigging includes six Lewmar winches and Harken deck hardware, known for their reliability and durability. The deck equipment is completed with a swim ladder, cockpit shower, speakers, and an inflatable dinghy with an engine, ideal for landings and explorations in secluded coves.
Below deck, the Volvo Penta 2000 engine with 29 HP, featuring a folding two-blade propeller, has been thoroughly serviced in 2024, ensuring efficient and reliable operation for maneuvers in port and motor sailing. The fuel (70 liters) and water (120 liters) tanks provide good autonomy for medium voyages.
