XBOAT ref: 6011. Designed by Gilbert Caroff, this CHATAM 60, a cruising cutter, is a full aluminium centreboarder (1.10 m / 3.20 m), built as a one-off.
Owner's words:
"Solid, with its 16 millimeter aluminium hull, twin diesel engines, 3 heating systems, everything is designed for navigation to distant destinations.
The boat underwent a refit in 2017/18.
Thanks to its fully enclosed and insulated pilothouse (sliding watertight door), the steering position is perfectly protected. With its two rudders and swinging keel, the CHATAM 60 sits flat and allows bay moorings with its shallow draft. This CHATAM 60 is a second-hand boat, fully equipped, and lightly used.
A boat designed for expeditions to the ends of the earth."
