The Evolution of Excellence
The SIXTY SOLAR SAIL represents the pinnacle of Xquisite’s sailing catamaran evolution. Beginning with the acclaimed X5, which saw 16 hulls produced, the company progressed to the enhanced X5 Plus. Now, Xquisite presents two new sailing models: the 54 E-Plus and their sailing flagship. This strategic evolution demonstrates Xquisite’s commitment to continuous innovation in the sailing catamaran sector. As the company expands its range to include power catamarans, she stands as the flagship of their sailing line, embodying their expertise in performance sailing yacht design.

The development journey involved a complete rethinking of catamaran design. The Xquisite team spent a year analyzing every component’s weight, leading to a revolutionary approach: expanding to a 60-foot platform while maintaining the equipment package of a smaller vessel. This innovative solution, combined with naval architecture by Bill Dixon of Dixon Yacht Design, delivers superior performance without compromising luxury.
