2011年5月22日 · As a sailboat-racing class, the XOD Class embarks on its centenary year while still enjoying remarkable success. In 1911, Yachting Monthly reported that seven 21-foot keelboats of a newly established one-design class started their first race in the Solent, UK. By 1939, the class had expanded, and 81 X One Design boats had been built.

At 21ft, the X is one of the smaller keel boats to sail in the Solent, but it was specifically designed to cope with the short steep Solent chop. It is a good sea boat and can be raced safely when other classes choose to cancel.

Designed to determine if a boat has blue water capability. The CSF compares beam with displacement since excess beam contributes to capsize and heavy displacement reduces capsize vulnerability. The boat is better suited for ocean passages (vs coastal cruising) if the result of the calculation is 2.0 or less. The lower the better.

Originally with a wooden gaff rig and asymmetric spinnaker this was altered in 1928 to the current spruce bermudan rig with the symmetric spinnaker being adopted in 1969. The class is very popular on the south coast with fleets in Parkstone, Yarmouth, Lymington, Hamble & Itchenor. They are regularly the largest one-design fleet at Cowes Week.

With the main event of the year to still come racing for the Captain’s Cup in the 100th year of the XOD class racing at Cowes we wish X166 and all the Hyde powered boats the best of luck in this iconic regatta.
