XBOAT ref: 6011. I am selling my Gilbert Caroff design, this CHATAM 60, a cruising cutter, is a full aluminum keelboat (1.10 m / 3.20 m), built one-off.
Owner's words:
"Solid, with its 16-millimeter aluminum hull, twin diesel engines, 3 heating systems, everything is designed for sailing to distant destinations.
The boat underwent a refit in 2017/18.
Thanks to its fully enclosed and insulated wheelhouse (sliding watertight door), the steering station is perfectly protected. With its two rudders and pivoting keel, the CHATAM 60 sits flat and allows anchorages offshore with its shallow draft. This CHATAM 60 is second-hand, fully equipped, and lightly used.
A boat designed for expeditions to the ends of the earth."

Owner's opinion:
"This CHATAM 60 ready to sail is a unique boat with its insulated wheelhouse and 16mm hull.
It can be handled without difficulty by 2 sailors on board or even single-handed.
Halyard and reefing operations can be done at the mast foot, safely.
The comfort on board is exceptional and watchkeeping from the wheelhouse while underway is unbeatable."
