Overview

Built on a hull that artfully blends performance, moderate heel and all‑weather security, Oceanis 60 introduces an unusually open deck plan that allows even a small crew to manoeuvre with graceful ease. Brushed anthracite linings, glossy woodwork and generously contoured upholstery define interiors conceived for warmth and poise, while the three‑cabin, three‑head layout welcomes friends and family in premium comfort. Under sail or at anchor, her character is unmistakable: the most spacious cockpit ever offered in this class and a magnificent aft deck transform life outdoors into pure pleasure. Construction meets European Directive requirements with CE certification and is executed with a monolithic polyester hull, a monolithic structural counter‑moulding laminated and bonded to the hull, and a balsa and fiberglass sandwich deck; the deck‑to‑hull joint is bonded and screwed with one solid wood toerail, a cast iron shoal keel is fixed with bolts and stainless steel backing plates, the rudder is hung with a glass composite stock, and the hull is finished in Dark Navy Blue. Naval architecture is by Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design and interior design by Nauta Design. Sailplan dimensions are generous and versatile: a furling mainsail 73.00 m² 786 sq/ft, an asymmetrical spinnaker 248.00 m² 2,670 sq/ft and a self‑tacking jib 62.00 m² 667 sq/ft.

On deck, the rig is tuned for control and confidence: a standard 9/10 anodised aluminium mast, keel‑stepped, with three aft‑swept spreaders and Traveller MDS, folding mast steps and an anodised aluminium boom; discontinuous stainless steel standing rigging and a double backstay with bottle screws; a rigid boom vang with tackle; a manual genoa furler with the drum on deck; two stand‑up blocks for the mainsail on the fixed composite arch; two genoa tracks with piston‑adjusted traveller cars and two genoa sheet turning blocks; complete running rigging comprising main halyard, genoa halyard with clutch on mast and cleat, boom topping lift with cleat on mast, mainsheet, two genoa sheets, two automatic reefing lines and one manual; eleven jammers and six jamming cleats; pre‑fitting for a spinnaker with six pad eyes and clutches; and a Windex windvane. Power is at your fingertips with two self‑tailing genoa sheet winches (H70.2 STC), two self‑tailing coachroof winches (H46.2 STC), two Speedgrip winch handles and two winch handle boxes. Ground‑tackle and mooring arrangements are equally robust: a self‑draining chain locker, hatch access to the chain locker from the sail locker/forepeak cabin, a stainless steel bow fitting with two rollers, an asymmetric spinnaker tack point and a stainless steel bobstay, a 24 V 2000 W vertical electric windlass with remote control, and eight aluminium mooring cleats protected by stainless steel deck line guards. The sail locker is reached through a deck hatch and fitted with a stainless steel ladder with solid wood steps and two shelving. Safety flows around the deck via one open stainless steel forward pulpit with step, two stainless steel pushpits, one lifebuoys support bracket, one outboard engine bracket, two rings for a flag welded on the pushpit, a double guardrail with stainless steel stanchions and openings in the guardrail to port and starboard, two stainless steel handrails on deck, two on the fixed arch, two stainless steel grabrails on the cockpit coaming, and two stainless steel handrails at the helm seats.

At the heart of the cockpit, a solid wood table unfolds on two leaves and features guy wash boards, a miscellaneous locker, a bottle holder, a 12 V socket, a lamp with shade, switch and cover; two waterproof loudspeakers and LED lamps sit discreetly beneath the arch. The companionway is secured by a folding door and a PMMA sliding hatch with an electric locking system.
