Overview

This Kurt Hughes 60 is a true bluewater passagemaker.

Generous bridgedeck clearance ( 1200 mm) gives a smooth ride even in rough seas.

The beamy hull shapes give excellent load carrying capacity yet still allow 200+nm days with ease.

The central wheelhouse enables a clear view of the boat from a protected vantage point and easy access to the sail controls as well as the saloon.

The selftacking jib allows the helmsman to tack the boat without aid, and short tacking up a channel or through an entrance is a breeze.

Reefing down and sail hoisting and trimming are all done from the safety of the deep cockpit, using the Anderson ST winches (1 electric)

The fully retractable 3 bladed propellers give great performance both when motoring and sailing.

The 2m carbonfibre centerboards make this multihull go to weather and tack like a mono.

The minimum draft of 450mm gives access to lagoons and estuaries that others can only envy, as well as easy beachability.

Equipped for ocean cruising with extensive safety gear, huge captive reel winch for easy anchoring, and a parachute anchor.

Lying in Vanuatu, owner willing to assist with delivery if required.
