X-Yachts Imx-38 Buyer's Guide
The X-Yachts IMX 38 is a Niels Jeppesen-designed Danish performance sailboat built in the early nineties, with fewer than 100 examples produced before the model left production. For a buyer scanning the brokerage market, the boat presents as a low-volume light racer: a masthead-rigged fibreglass sandwich hull with a bulb fin keel and a high ballast fraction. The documented facts about the boat are narrow, so a shopping decision rests on a small set of verified characteristics rather than a deep catalogue of model-year changes.
Layouts on the Used Market
The IMX 38 was offered with different keel alternatives, and the two documented drafts define the practical layout classes on the used market. One variant carries a fin keel with bulb drawing about 2.12 to 2.22 metres dependent on load; the other sits at about 1.99 to 2.09 metres. Both keep the boat to major marinas only. The accommodation record is thin: the boat is equipped with a galley and toilet facility, with no documented berth plan or salon configuration to distinguish one used example from another on layout grounds alone.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
No equipment fitment tiers or owner-upgrade patterns are documented for the IMX 38 in the available material, so nothing can be asserted about commonly fitted versus owner-added gear. The verified rigging spec shows a masthead rig with jib and genoa sheets of 11.4 metres at 14 mm, a mainsheet of 28.4 metres at 14 mm, and a spinnaker sheet of 25.0 metres at 14 mm — useful as a baseline for assessing whether a specific boat's running rigging has been renewed or downsized, but not evidence of any market-wide upgrade trend.
What to Inspect
The source material records no structural defects, flooding paths, or systems failures for the IMX 38, so there is no documented known-issue list to drive a targeted survey beyond the hull type itself. The fibreglass sandwich hull is the one construction fact with maintenance relevance, and its documented low seasonal upkeep demand is the only condition claim. A buyer should still commission a standard survey, but the record supplies no model-specific defect cluster — draft restriction is a usage limit, not a condition item.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
No regional availability data or typical markets are documented for the IMX 38, so no geographic claims can be made about where the boat turns up for sale. With fewer than 100 built and production closed, any purchase is a low-volume transaction. Checklist: confirm keel variant and loaded draft against marina plans; verify masthead rig sheet lengths and diameters; confirm galley and toilet presence; commission survey of the fibreglass sandwich hull; accept that the capsize screening value excludes ocean-race use.
