The hull is a double hull which improves the indoor climate. Especially when the water is colder than the air in the cabin, then the double hull insulates against cold water and reduce the condense water in the cabin.
The boat is equipped with 3 cabins, 6 - 7 berths, a galley and toilet facility.
One option is a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.
X-412 can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.11 - 2.21 meter (6.92 - 7.22 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta diesel engine.
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for X-412 is 2.02, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level.
The immersion rate for X-412 is about 327 kg/cm, alternatively 1831 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 327 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm.
Alternatively, if you load 1831 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
