XBOAT ref: 6011. I am selling my Gilbert Caroff plan, the CHATAM 60, a cruising ketch, an all-aluminum yacht (1.10 m / 3.20 m), built as a one-off.
Owner's words:
"Sturdy, with 16 millimeters of aluminum hull bottom, twin diesel engines, 3 heating systems, everything is designed for long-distance navigation.
The boat underwent a refit in 2017/18.
Thanks to its fully enclosed and insulated wheelhouse (sliding watertight door), the helm station is perfectly protected. With its two rudders and pivoting keel, the CHATAM 60 sits flat and allows for cold ironing with its shallow draft. This CHATAM 60 is a second-hand, fully equipped boat with little use.
A vessel designed for expeditions to the ends of the world."

Reefing and riser operations are performed at the mast foot, in complete safety.
The onboard comfort is exceptional, and night watch from the wheelhouse is incomparable."
