The X-Yacht Owners Association was set up in 2011 to promote rallies, racing, social events and the sharing of information for X-Yachts owners. They typically hold yearly events in the UK including summer and autumn rallies, Solent Cup racing, fitting out and laying up suppers and more. The XYOA has expanded, and now has members around the world. The organization connects X-Yacht owners and enthusiasts, and aims to strengthen and build the X-Yacht community.
