XBOAT ref :6011.
Based on the design by Gilbert Caroff, this CHATAM 60, a cruising ketch, is an integral aluminum sailboat (1.10 m / 3.20 m draft), built as a one-off.

The owner’s words:

„Solid, with its 16mm 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 helm station is perfectly protected. With its two rudders and pivoting centerboard, the CHATAM 60 sits flat and allows for anchoring in shallow waters with its shallow draft. This CHATAM 60 is a well-equipped second-hand boat that has seen little use.

A boat designed for expeditions to the ends of the earth.“
