Which boat?

At around the same time when I was trying to obtain financing, I gave the idea of "which boat?" some serious thought. Granted, it was more a fantasy than anything else but you do need something to keep you on your toes as the days and weeks in the office pass by. I looked around at a whole range of sailing yachts, finally stumbling on....
.... X-Yachts. I always thought these were mainly high performance racing yachts so I had not given X-Yachts much thought due to the fact that I wasn't looking for a racing machine. But then, during one weekend in May which we spent in Italy, we met Julie, who together with her husband owned an X-50. It looked very impressive. But I was quickly taken aback by the looks of some of her sister ships, the X-412, 442 and 482 cruiser-racers. I looked no further. I had found the yacht design and constructor of my dreams.
