She holds her line without a hand on the wheel.
Under sail, the Yachts 60 shows real manners. Helm balance is generous enough that she tracked straight through nine knots of breeze with no correction needed, and in a moderate ten to eleven knots she settles into a consistent seven to seven and a half knots upwind, even with an awkward swell running. Reaching under Code 0 in a light six to seven knots of true wind, she still holds just under six knots, proof that hull and rig work together rather than needing a strong breeze to come alive. Under power, engine options from Volvo and Yanmar give a steady 8 knot cruise and a 10 knot top speed, with 825 litres of fuel good for up to 1,000 nautical miles.
Nothing on her side decks will catch a sheet, a foot or a moment’s balance.
Philippe Briand carried the beam almost to the transom and kept the deck level from bow to cockpit, with the shroud chainplates mounted on the coachroof edge rather than out at the rail. The result is a clear, level walking path the length of the boat, backed by high guardrails for real security offshore. The mainsheet runs aft to a bridle near the coachroof rather than across the cockpit, removing one of the more common hazards on a yacht this size. A tender garage set to port swallows a small RIB, and the cockpit itself is broad enough for L shaped seating either side of a central walkway, sheltered from spray and sun alike.
Four cabins, sleeping eight, laid out to feel like far more space than the numbers suggest.
Andrew Winch’s interior favours light and volume over showy detail. Four hull windows and an overhead glazed panel flood the saloon, while a full beam owner’s cabin aft offers a proper double set to starboard with its own heads and generous stowage. The saloon table converts between coffee and dining use, and the galley runs athwartships across the full beam of the boat, giving genuine worktop space rather than the narrow run typical of a sailing yacht this size. Guest cabins forward can be arranged as a single large suite or split into two en suite doubles behind a folding bulkhead, letting an owner tune the layout to family cruising one season and charter guests the next.
The saloon is built for the hours between sailing, not just the crossing itself.
Four opening deck hatches and hull glazing keep the main living space bright and ventilated at anchor, and an 11kW generator tucked beneath the saloon sole runs air conditioning quietly enough to notice its absence rather than its hum. On deck, twin electric winches sit ahead of each helm station, and an optional hardtop with a folding sunroof section extends the sheltered living area aft into the cockpit. It is a yacht designed around a full day on board, from breakfast in the cockpit to a shaded lunch and an evening below, rather than simply getting from one harbour to the next.
A flagship built to be sailed, not just admired at the dock.
The Jeanneau Yachts 60 measures 19.5 metres length overall on a 5.2 metre beam, with a standard draught of 2.6 metres and a displacement of 25 tonnes. Power comes from a standard Volvo D4-180, with a Yanmar 4JH110 or Volvo D3-150 available as alternatives, and the yacht carries 825 litres of fuel for a 1,000 nautical mile range under power. She sleeps eight guests across four cabins with berths for two crew, and naval architecture from Philippe Briand paired with interiors by Andrew Winch gives her a coherent identity across every configuration. Priced from around 1.35 million euros, she is built for an owner who wants a genuine offshore sailer that asks for no compromise below deck.
