X-Yachts director of design and engineering Thomas Mielec hosts a guided video tour of the interior mock-up of the premium yachting brand’s newest Xc cruising model.

“It has been clear from the beginning of the project that the deck layout and the interior was gong to interact in a quite unusual way for us, given that we have this semi-deck saloon layout,” he says.

“The mock-up makes it possible, in a much more straightforward way, to communicate the design intentions of the interior concepts.”

The mock-up is also designed to heel at 20 degrees to either side to simulate how the interior works ergonomically under a heel “which is a quite important aspect for a true blue-water cruiser”.

Find out more details about the new Xc when X-Yachts opens the doors of its Haderslev headquarters for a weekend of private tours next month.
