Dimensions/displacement/sail area per Xquisite Yachts' own technical-specifications page (LOA 16.63m, LWL 15.44m, beam 8m, draft 1.35m, displacement 16,500kg, mainsail 105 sqm, total working sail ~209 sqm). Two different headsail options are listed (65 sqm genoa and 39 sqm jib) without a clear single 'standard' designation, so jib area left unsplit and only the directly-published total working-sail figure was used. Hull is 'Quadriaxial stitched fabrics, Divinicell composite PVC foam core and Epoxy Vinyl Ester resin' -- classified as vinylester, the standard marine-industry categorization for this resin chemistry. Mast explicitly 'extruded aluminium'. Fixed twin keels (no daggerboards). Designed by Rudolf Jonker for Phoenix Marine (Cape Town, South Africa), which builds exclusively under the Xquisite Yachts brand; company founded 2014. Verified 2026-07-12. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Rudder type/construction not confirmed in available sources, left null rather than assume. Fuel 209gal, water 227gal (860L rigid polyethylene tanks in the front lockers). No holding-tank or electrical-system data found.
