About the X 372 Sailboat

Danish builder X Yachts launched the X 372 in 1987 as part of their renowned performance cruiser lineup, producing 120 hulls through 1992. Designed by Niels Jeppesen, this 37-footer exemplifies the X Yachts philosophy of combining serious sailing performance with comfortable cruising accommodations. The X 372's fin keel and spade rudder configuration, paired with a moderate displacement of 11,243 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, creates a responsive boat that excels in both coastal cruising and club racing scenarios. Her masthead sloop rig carries 593 square feet of sail area, providing spirited performance while remaining manageable for short-handed sailing. Built with X Yachts' trademark solid fiberglass construction quality, the X 372 features the refined hull lines and attention to detail that established the Danish yard's reputation among discerning sailors. The comfort ratio of 20.59 indicates good motion at sea, while the capsize screening value of 2.1 suggests reasonable offshore capability for experienced crews. With her 6.6-foot draft and hull speed potential of over seven knots, this design appeals to sailors seeking a well-balanced yacht capable of weekend coastal adventures and longer passage-making, backed by X Yachts' stellar build quality and enduring resale value.
