The XOD is a very strong boat, several launched in 1911 are still racing today. The design has proved itself over the years allowing sailors of all ages from Teenager to Octogenarians to race with equal success. Gradually, over the years, modernization has been approved, the biggest changes being Gaff to Bermuda rig and more recently the use of Epoxy. The cost of ownership is not high and with epoxy coated hulls maintenance can be minimal or as much as you like to spend. X's have always out-lived their owners, unlike many modern racing yachts which in less than 10 years lose their competitiveness, mainly due to their light construction. Racing is very competitive throughout the fleet. Our successful sailors are always willing to help those at the back to find more speed and this is helping the fleet. An XOD responds to fine tuning and this tests everyone from time to time even successful owners have days of "go slows". The Division is keen to welcome new members of any age. Sharing is very successful and ensures better usage. Dinghy sailors thinking of moving on to a keel boat and still looking for competitive family sailing at a reasonable cost should try an XOD. After racing everyone meets at the R Lymington YC for tea and buns and the bar is open on Saturdays. If you would like to crew please e-mail by clicking the link embedded in her name and provide her with details of your sailing experience and availability. Liz will either be able to introduce you straight away to a helm looking for crew or will keep your details and match them to any request she may receive later in the season to fill a vacancy. Please submit any articles, photos, news, comments, etc to . For further information about XODs or details of the Class Association, please click Photos by Mark Lloyd and Claude Hamilton |

X One Design Itchenor Division
Come race with us
T he X One Design is a beautiful, classic, wooden racing keelboat first raced in 1911 and still going strong today, providing very competitive racing and giving great pleasure to those who sail them.
Every boat has a history and a story, each XOD is beautifully maintained; we are just custodians of these magnificent boats.
The XOD class at Itchenor Sailing Club runs over 140 competitive races during the season, on weekends as well as Wednesday evenings; where we have a fun race and a meal together afterwards.
Here at Itchenor we are one of six clubs around the Solent sailing XOD's and there is the opportunity to race with all 140 boats.

The XOD's are beautiful 20ft classic wooden keel boats, many painted and some varnished. They sail two or three up from the end of March to the end of October in over 100 races a year using the whole of Chichester Harbour and sometimes the Solent.
The X fleet at Itchenor is one of six Solent clubs that race X's, culminating, if one wants, in racing at Cowes Week and Cowes Classic Week and lots of Solent racing in-between.
We are a very competitive fleet with the winner of Cowes for the last seven years coming from Itchenor!
There are 40 X boats at Itchenor (not all on the water at the same time) and we all race together, giving everyone the impetus to improve. Within the group are three fleets of different standards and success in each is recognised with one of 40 different cups and prizes.
Every Wednesday we sail a fun race in the harbour by ourselves, which is often the highlight of the week, in a beautiful empty harbour, with the setting sun and a glass or two in the bar with dinner afterwards, it's a great way to get to know us and join in the fun.
You can join us - we're very friendly - by being a boat tart (someone who crews on lots of different boats). It's a way of getting to know who we all are, whether you like us, and who you want to race with. Email Gill for more information.
Many boats encourage partnerships where maintenance costs are divided which keeps down the cost of owning an XOD. If you want to helm, this is a good way to get hold of the tiller and have great sailing, learn the tides and shallows of the fast moving water with a regular team as Chichester Harbour can be more challenging than the Solent. The XOD truly is the queen of racing.
If you want, we can arrange training by an XOD sailor or RYA instructor to help you get the best out of an X.
We have lots of news, race results, trophies and lots more information on our XOD website

XOD Boats The XOD was originally designed in 1909 by Alfred Westmacott, and most are still sailing today. The current owners are renowned for their affection to the boat, and most are today in fantastic condition as well as keenly raced.

As specialists in wood restoration, repair and race preparation in conjunction with the 2011 XOD Centenary in Cowes, David Heritage has experienced a huge influx of X Boat owners approaching the yard for work in the form of race preparation and repair all the way through to complete XOD restoration.
David Heritage Racing Yachts are especially pleased with the Centenary Regatta, as one of DHRY’s restorations, Lizz Whizz, won the show piece race that started off the Squadron line on the last day of Cowes Week.

The XOD was originally designed in 1909 by Alfred Westmacott and most are still sailing today. 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.

An X is very affordable to buy with most boats being offered for sale at between £3,000 and £12,000.
” A boat that is crew friendly and affordable”
Maintenance costs will vary, depending upon location and whether the work is done by the owner or by a boatyard. Information on these can be obtained from the local Division or our Suppliers webpage. Boats that have been epoxied, and many have, will require less annual maintenance.
No keel boat is cheap to run, but the X is a lot less expensive than many. And of course multiple ownership allows owners to divide the costs between them.

By Louay Habib. May 22, 2011. 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. XOD entries at Cowes Week are expected to exceed 100 boats for the class centenary.

The XOD is the largest keelboat racing fleet at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club with over 40 active boats. Racing is very competitive throughout the fleet. Our successful sailors are always willing to help those new to the class and those at the back of the fleet to find more speed.
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. Some twenty-five years ago, the Class decided to permit owners to sheath the outside of hulls with epoxy, a decision ...
