I recently bought a used x-99 (former Tupak) and I wonder if anybody knows what paint is used on the bottom. I think it´s the same as on the bottom of Xpense and many other 99:s (same colour at least). I am sure that it is not an antifouling, but can it be hempels epoxisealer (Gelshield 200)? I would appreciate help, since the bottom needs some fixing and I don´t want to destroy the beautiful finish! Other tips on making the boat fast are also welcome!

Hi! In case we might need a new folding prop I am very much interested in getting any information about your experiences with propellers. Which propellers and what size is the best (or the most bad)(For Volvo-Engine). Thanks a lot :-)

Hello. We are experiencing some problems with the attachment of the kicking strap to the boom. The retaining pin of the car that slides on the rail on the boom has already broken three times, although we take great care not to overtighten the kicking strap. Have other boats experienced the same phenomenon and is there any solution ? Thanks and regards.

Propeller. Jag är ute efter någon som kan lägga en ny vulkning i en foldingpropeller eller någon som ev. har en propeller till salu till en Bukh 10hk. Jag märkte nämligen i höstas att vulkningen mellan propellern och drivaxeln har börjat släppa så propellern glappar i sidled. Om ni vet någon som kan göra liknande jobb skulle jag uppskatta om ni ville höra av er. Eller om ni vet någon som har en gammal propeller till salu. Jag är tacksam för alla svar. Mvh Magnus Leijon

About Cowes Week 2004, there will be at leat one more X-99 than there was last year, as I am planning to do it.(There was only one X-99 this year) They will normally want at least 5 entries to run a one design class, however I was planning to race under IRC anyway. Hope to see you there !!

We all know that halyard tension is critical for the boatspeed with the X99 but the standard sheaves, even on recently produced masts, are crap! Does anyone have a solution for improved sheaves with roller bearings for the main and genua halyards?

Hi, Who has experience with little cracks in mast? It is a mast from 1996 and has this nice little hole at the hight of the through hull. It was adived to strengthen this part of the mast when little cracks occur. Has anyone experience in this procedure? Does the strengthening hold, or will the mast break anyway? greetings willem marsman

Hi, just bought an X-99. The class seems to have died over here so maybe you can help. I understand that the new boats have twin backstays, I assume that it is a single backstay that is split at the bottom - what is the advantage? I have bought a boat with no rig and want to upgrade to the latest spec. Thanks Andy

Thanks to all that replied regarding my previous question. I would like to request for assistance again with 2 major aspects as we are trying to prepare our boat for the coming sailing season here starting Last Sept. 1. Engine: I have a bukh engine, but unfortunately the original manual got wet and now unsusable, can anyone please let me know how I can get replacement owner's manual for Bukh engine? Or can someone scan and send me a copy of the manual? Also how do I know what Bukh engine model does my X99 have? My engine seem underpowered, last time the wind was blowing storng, I couldn't even motor out of the marina! Does anyone have this problem too? 2. Keel Fairing Has anyone faired their X99's keel? If you have faired your X99 before, can you please share information on how you did it? Did you use NACA profiles? What profiles? Any special techniques and tools? Looking forward to your reply! Best regards! ARvin

Hej alle danske medlemmer af X-99 klubben. I det international forum er der dukket to punkter op. Som Thomas - allerede fortalte på general forsamlingen, højde placering af bommen. Denne generelle holdning er at det ikke rigtigt betyder noget om bommen er 2 cm højere eller laver. Det andet punkt der dukkede op - er valg af motor, klassereglerne forskriver dag Volvo eller Bukh - ingen specifike modeller. Diskutionen gå på om man skal tillade andre motorer, hvilket jeg personligt kan se noget problem - men det kræver at vægten på 2.980 kg overholdes - som allerede beskrevet omkring Volvo/Bukh motorene - med andre ord vejer den ny motor mindre skal der monteres ekstra vægt i båden - således at båden overholder kravet på 2.980 kg - den ekstra vægt skal placeres bag/foran motoren - se evt. beskrivelse i klasse reglerne. Kom frem med din mening og evt. agummenter for og imod mit synes punkt. :) Per Formand Dansk X-99 Klub

I am a co-owner of an X99 which we bought used. I am hoping to race her in our local IRC and PY races as well as next years President's cup regatta. I am hoping that some the more experienced X99 skippers and owners can help me. After inspecting our new boat, we found that she only has 1 set of jib halyards and one set of spin halyards, as well as a single luff attachement on the forestay. We are hoping to add a double luff attachement on her to be able to do jib peels as well as add more halyards to be able to do a peel for headsail or spinnaker. Any information on how best to do this would be appreciated. Please give info on what brand, model, etc. of equipment did you use. Thanks in advance. Arvin

FAST GAST I SVANEMØLLEN. Vores faste fordæksgast har glædeligvis fået et nyt spændende job i udlandet. Desværre betyder det, at han ikke får tid til at sejle så meget mere. Derfor søger vi en ny fast mand til fordækket. Vi går op i at båden er "fit-for-fight" og har investeret i meget nyt; mast, sejl (1/4 pr. mand) og andet grej. Så ring, hvis du er en erfaren sejler, der har lyst til at sejle X79-race på en båd, hvor vi "går op i det", men samtidig lægger vægt på, at kemien mellem os er iorden, så fornøjelsen ved at sejle rækker udover sidste måltagning.

Use high quality blocks like the Harken Carbo Ariblocks and a thin main sheet (max 10mm) The suggested set-up enables you to add an extra turn via the upper fiddle block under windy conditions.

Martin Bonnen <mbo@x99.dk>
www.x99.dk, Copenhagen Denmark - Friday, March 07, 2003 at 19:53:23 (MET)

Does anyone have a good idea what the best mainsheet block system set-up can be? E.g. I have a triple block at the boom but having the line so close together creates friction. This makes it time- and effort-consuming when rounding (up as well as down). 3 seperate blocks sitting apart should be better. Any ideas?

Ruel 17.2: Int'l Customer Service at Harken Inc has confirmed that the carbo blocks do NOT contain carbon fibres.
Martin Bonnen <mbo@x99.dk>
www.x99.dk, Copenhagen Denmark - Wednesday, September 25, 2002 at 09:29:56 (MET DST)

Rule 17.2 states that carbon fibre is prohibited anywhere on the boat. The intention with this rule is to keep the running cost of the boat as low as possible prohibiting the use of expensive exotic materials. Since 1986 a product like carbon has become a commodity. As an example the Harken Carbo blocks (I don’t know for sure if they include carbon fibers) has become cheaper than the Harken Black Magic Air Blocks and the Frederiksen racing and orbit blocks. It would benefit the class if we could be flexible on this point.

Do you want to rent your X-99 3 weeks in July 2002? I am interested in renting an X-99 in the Scandinavian waters for 3 weeks in July 2002. I am the former owner of DEN 421 "Skyggefaxe" which became 5 in the Worlds (and was subsequently sold). I am also an experienced cruiser/blue water sailer and will treat your boar gently.

Dear X-99ers, The Danish and North European Championship has been arranged as an intensive two day competition. Entry and registration is open until 9 o’clock on the first day of racing. Consequently the normal check on crew and equipment has been replaced by the following procedures: 1. Prior to the first start all boats shall hand in a list identifying all sails onboard during the race series. Danish and German sails are identified by a unique measuring certificate number (sejlknappen). If the measuring certificate number is not available, this may be the case for non-Danish or non-German sails, the production date or the date and stamp of the domestic measures will be accepted. 2. Random inspection according to the “The X-99 International Class Rules and Constitution” will apply through out the race 3. Random control of crew weight and equipment will apply during the race We trust we all will have two days of great sailing Martin Bonnen

New information given by Rob, does not change the Finnish vote "NO". We are still against the kevlar. We have several years' experience of using kevlar-sails. So, we are aware of the pros and cons of the kevlar and not willing to change back to it. Also, it would be difficult to restrict sailcloth to "Kevlar Sportcloth" only (What would be the definition of "Sportcloth"?). Some owners would use more high-tech cloths instead, and that inevitably would increase the differences in our otherwise relatively homogenous one-design class, and also increase the total costs of the racing.

Nye reklameregler fra 1.1.2001 ISAF har vedtaget nye reklameregler – Kapsejladsreglernes tillæg G – som kommer til at betyde en liberalisering på reklameområdet. De væsentligste ændringer betyder i hovedtræk: · Fri reklame på privatejede sejlbåde (generelt som udgangspunkt) · OL-klasser kan ikke lave begrænsninger af nogen art · Andre ISAF godkendte, internationale klasser eller f.eks. nationale klasser kan individuelt beslutte at begrænse reklame eller helt forbyde denne, kategori A (som hidtil) · Nationale sejlunioner kan beslutte specielle regler for deres område og nationale klasser samt respitsystemer DS’ hovedbestyrelse skal i løbet af efteråret drøfte og beslutte evt. specielle tillægsbestemmelser som skal være gældende i Danmark. Hidtidige restriktioner som f.eks. begrænsningen at der ikke kan være reklame i storsejl og genua/fok på nationale éntypeklasser, standardklasser og både der sejler DH/LYS kapsejladser, skal bl.a. revurderes. Den engelske tekst kan findes på ISAF’s hjemmeside og downloades som en pdf-fil: http://www.sailing.org/meetings/2000november/finaladcode.html. Dansk oversættelse er under udarbejdelse, og vil snarligt blive lagt på www.sejlsport.dk under ”kapsejlads”.

For bådklasser, hvor DM er den eneste sejlads, hvor der kan samles over 10-15 både, har det næppe sin berettigelse, at have officiel DM-status i DS regi. Klassebåde, hvor DM blot er et af stævnerne i løbet af sæsonen, og som i løbet af året kan mønstre større deltagerantal til andre klassestævner, bør have officiel DM-status. Når X99-klassen i (officiel) VM-sammenhæng er 70 både, bør der også kunne kåres en officiel national mester. Jeg håber på, der næste år kommer flere til X99 DM end i 1999. Jeg vil som ny i klassen (fra næste år) ikke gå glip af DM år 2000. Venlig hilsen Jesper Sommer

Jeg er i øjeblikket den meget lykkelige ejer af en X-79 som bruges til både kapsejlads og tursejlads. Jeg overvejer pt. at få en større båd, primært for at få mere plads og indenbordsmotor til tursejlads. Som nuværende X-79 ejer er en X-99 selvfølgelig det næste logiske valg i rækken, men hvordan er den til tursejlads ? På tur er vi oftest 2 voksne og 2 (små) børn - men jeg er den eneste om bord der ved noget om at sejle. Kan den sejles singlehanded ? Kan den sejles uden bagstag ? Har den samme egenskaber - på godt og ondt - som X-79 ? Osv. osv. Alle informationer i denne retning modtages med glæde. På forhånd tak.

It depends. If you are very keen at offshore sailing and if you are lucky to stay out of low pressures coming in from the west it could be a challenge to tell your grand children. I would personally take the route through the Nordostsee Kanal and sail inshore from Kiel via Storebaelt to Marstrand. If you get tired of sailing and would like a Danish bear there are a lot of small nice cosy harbours on the route. If you take toe offshore you are on your own until you reach Tyborobn.

Hey! We are the first X-99 in Rostock but the class will be developed step by step also in the eastern part of Germany. There are already ships in Wismar, Rerik, Greifswald, Stralsund, Kröslin and now also in Rostock. Please allow us on this way to make some advertisement for our region an especially for our home race "Warnemünder Woche". The Warnemünder Woche will be held from 3/7/99 - 10/7/99. At the weekend 3-4/7/99 the big boats sails three olpympic races. We have had good discussions with the racing consil, and we get a own start in case we are more then five. Which should be possible. In case you want to sail one time a really long race you can take part on "Rund Bornholm" , about 320 sm. Last year were more than 60 boats on the list (due to the heavy wind conditions only 20 on the start). The start is so calculated that the fastest ships starts at last and the first ship home is also the winner (Yardstick, IMS). The next week-end at the 10th. of July will be the "Bäderregatta Warnemünde-Kühlungsborn-Warnemünde", abt. 25 sm. We hope that also the Warnemünder Woche found their place in the list of events for the X-99. We are discussing in the moment to held the German opens X-99 year 2000 in Warnemünde (may be last weekend in August 2000). So the "Warnemüder Woche" is a good test.

jeg syntes det er en skide god ide at man kan gå ind og se hvem der har tankt sig at deltage i f.eks. DM og WM. Kunne klubben ikke lave et skema over hele sasonens sejladser, hvor man så kunne krydse af, hvad hver båd vil forsøge at deltage i. Så kan man f.eks slå op under Kieler woche eller Fyn rundt og se hvor mange der ca. vil komme. med venlig hilsen Lars Thiellesen DEN 542

Hi there Danish X99 sailors! Ever thought of spending your holiday on board of an X99 in the Netherlands? We have sailed our X99 "Babysitter" to Danish waters last year, and took her back to the Netherlands on the trailer of the Dutch class organisation. This year we would like to explore Denmark a little further. Would it not be much more convenient to just exchange boats? Our home port is Stellendam, near the province of Zeeland which is one of the finest Dutch areas to visit with a boat. Our X99 (#198) is in good condition, fully insured, with bed extensions, heating etc. The period we have in mind is week 29 and/or 30 (17 July - 1 Aug) 1999. If you would like to give this idea a thought, please mail. Erwan Groenendijk

Crew and weight limits: The crew limit today is 5 to 7 and the weight limit is 512Kg. We all know that you need to be as close to the weight limit as possible to build up speed, and if you are not able to sign a full crew you don't stand a chance in to days competition. If we lower the weight limit to e.g. 450Kg you will be able to race with 5 or 6 people instead to 6 to 7. This will free crew for other boats and reduce the stress on the genoa.

Sønderborg Denmark - Thursday, January 08, 1998 at 13:42:58 (GMT+1)

It's very satisfying to see the interest in our boat and the rules. Generally, all wants as many boats as possible to compete. It is therefore in the interest of all, that we keep the costs as low as possible, and to keep older boats competetive by not allowing a lot of expensive gear. It is stimulating the enthusiasm of owners that one of the earliest examples shows ability to go first in DM and worlds. If we allow expensive hi-tech sails some will still change sails very often and force the prices up. The class has become faster in the recent years probably beacause of a lot of enthusiam of the owners, not so much because of expensive gear, and this has increased the competition and made a wider range in the skills of the competitors maybe keeping some from participating. The weight/crew limit has been an issue of a lot of debate in DK. The international rules, allowing 5-7 on a fixed weight limit seems fair and give the widest possibility to adjust the individual crew to a maximal performance. Can "Jens Kjærsgaard" give some comments on how far we have reached in changing the danish rules. Maybe we should dicuss the possibility of allowing an asymmetrical spinnaker (not so costly) which could incrase speed on reaching..

Alice II, Skovshoved Denmark - Sunday, January 04, 1998 at 22:09:28 (GMT+1)

My opinion is that simpleness and costefficinies must be the guide in loking on changes in the rules. If kevlar sails is more cost effective than they might be allowed. But if it open up for special designed sails and that money instead of sailing skill have an impact on the results I dont whant them. What attracted me to bee an X99 sailor mas the simple one design rules. Dont start making them complicated.

The majority of the active danish 99'ers don't want any changes at all in the Class Rules. We totally are against any costly changes of the Class rules. So that was all from the Danish X-99 Club.
Jens Kjærsgaard, Danish X-99 Club < jk@pka.dk >
Alice II, Skovshoved Denmark - Wednesday, December 24, 1997 at 14:36:36 (GMT+1)

One of the key elements of the further success of the X-99 class is, in my opinion, the total cost. Today it is quite frustrating to have to invest in new sails (genua; main) practically every year, and in addition the sails (main) are extremely sensitive (brittle) towards handling. We have experience in using kevlar sails from IMS sailing with X-99 starting with the season -94. Of course these sails are 50% more expensive but, for instance, our kevlar main is still in excellent condition despite heavy handling during all these seasons. Due to the nature of the kevla fiber the shape is still the same. Moreover it can be handled with ease, since folding is of no problem - this make the sail much more convenient also for family sailing since it has not to be rolled. The benefit with the kevlar genua is also its superiour strength which means that it can be used several seasons. Since we have very positive experience (i.e. mainly economical!) of using kevlar sails in X-99 sailing, I like to start a debate whether it is time to allow these type of sails, and under what conditions, in X-99 one design races. A good way of keeping the economy in control would be with complemantary rules of (strict!) minimum cloth weight and maybe in addition a total sailweight which would be very easy to check. Very light and exotic constructions should of course not be allowed.

We have used a sail batten mounted in the top of the mast to keep the aft stay free from the main sail. Does this infringe the class rules and do we need a clarification?
Martin Bonnen <mbo@x99.dk>
www.x99.dk, Copenhagen Denmark - Tuesday, November 25, 1997 at 16:04:50 (GMT+1)

Andrew McIrvine, Secretary of the International Class Association, has opened the discussion concerning our Class rules and I approve the initiative. My contribution to the debate is that we should concentrate on the equipment where the current use has developed far beyond the initial idea by Niels Jeppesen. This means I have no problem with the genoa track as it is, but I am very annoyed with the check stay. The use of the check stay has moved from being a passive device only used in rough sees to an active trim facility controlling the shape of the main sail. With the restriction that the check stays shall only be adjusted by block and tackle system mounted on the genoa tracks, all kind of more or less successful implementations have been tried. I propose that we remove the paragraph to se if the use of this trim facility will develop into some thing more practical in the future.

I have just been told of this site, (by Tony Rayer who set up the UK site). As the Secretary of the International Class Association I am very keen to try and get points about the rules as widely discussed as possible. At the next AGM we will be talking about a number of important issues, but what do other owners think. Should we allow tape-drive sails? Should we have fully adjustable genoa tracks. Should we add inclining tests as well as weight measurement. All new ideas would be very welcome and this seems an excellent potential International forum for these discussions. Best wishes, Andrew

What is a fast X-99 under water surface ? Hard or soft anti fowling ? and is it realy necessary to sand it down to 800 ? In my opinion soft anti fowling and a kitchen sponge does the trick.

Nå - spøg til side Det var et ret begrændset antal deltagere til fyn-rundt 97. Vi er nu nede 8 deltagere. Hele fyn-rundt er nede på 288 (tror jeg nok), og Bogense sejlklubs Fyn-Cup er nu større. Kunne bestyrelsen forsøge rejse en debat om x99 klubben evt. kunne anbefale at x99erne i stedet for fyn-rundt at sejle Fyn-Cup til næste år ? MVH Torben Høiby (torben_hoeiby@hp.com)
