Welcome to this new website for the X1 – a revolutionary 21st century dinghy that is perfect for river, estuary and all inland water sailing.

The X1 is lightweight, simple to sail, quick to tack and goes exceptionally well in lower wind speeds. These are the key qualities that make it a joy to sail on those stretches of water closest to where many people live, where the wind can be very light and shifty.

If this is your type of sailing and you want:

  • A modern, high performance one-design
  • Superb build quality and finish
  • Simple rigging and easy sailing
  • A boat for 2 (or 3) crew
  • Amazing performance in even the lightest airs
  • A spinnaker for extra speed and excitement
  • Manoeuvrability in the dinghy park as well as afloat
  • An enjoyable, rewarding experience

Then the X1 is for you!

There’s only one real way to find out how the X1 sails - and that is to try it out for yourself.

Please contact us to arrange a test sail.
