These dimensions make the XR350 ideal for accommodating large sails while ensuring a secure and seamless fit on your deck.

2. Superior Material Composition

The XR350 is crafted using an advanced alloy that outperforms traditional materials in every way:

3. Double Frame, Fully Cast Construction

The XR350 features a double frame, fully cast design, offering unmatched rigidity and strength. This construction not only ensures the hatch’s durability but also actively strengthens your deck, providing additional structural support for large sail handling operations.

5. Lightweight Yet Incredibly Durable

Despite its size and robust construction, the XR350 is designed to be lightweight at only 42 lbs. This ensures ease of installation and handling without compromising on strength or reliability.
