The first Rota-moulded keel boat and the reason we chose this boat from our range was because of the beautiful hull shape which really suited this concept which was designed for hiking. The incredibly beamy hull, measuring in at 2m wide, makes for a very comfortable, spacious and uncluttered cockpit. This impressive design allows the crew to easily control the XK1, which has a smaller rig from the standard Xenon, for ease of handling with the keel version. The XK1 comes with a smaller rig which uses a Dacron mainsail with built in single-line reefing system, allowing the performance to be changed out on the water to suit a wider variety of skill levels. The unrivalled TRILAM construction is used again here, meaning the boat will stand up to all the stresses of training and racing and is virtually maintenance free. It comes with a weighted keel (45kg), epoxy Rudder blade and the highest specification equipment is fitted as standard.
