Remarks

This ocean 60’ was designed for chartering and in this capacity is suitable for families
and groups. The present owners have used the boat successfully for chartering since
they purchased it in 2006.

However it is a strong blue water sailing yacht and will be ideal for a family or group
to use for sailing around the world for pleasure or for carrying out marine research etc.

The schooner rig is exceptionally easy to handle. The boat cuts smoothly through
the water.
The cockpit is deep and sheltered with good backrest height provided by the coamings.
It makes a great area for dining. There is also a large dining table in the salon which
Is accessible from the cockpit by only 2 steps!
