The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The hull is a sandwich construction 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 interior is like most other boats made of teak. Teak has the advantage of being naturally very oily and therefore water-repellent, which is suitable on boats.
The boat is equipped with 3 cabins, 6 - 7 berths, a galley and toilet facility.
The boat has more than one rig.
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.
The X-412 has been built with different keel alternatives.
Unknown keel type
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.
Unknown keel type
The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.20 - 2.30 meter (7.22 - 7.52 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
The X-412 has been equipped with different engine alternatives.
Alternative 1:
The boat may be equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta diesel engine
Alternative 2:
X-412 may be equipped with an inboard diesel engine at 39 hp (29 kW).
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.
