Ocean 60 For Sale In South Africa

The OCEAN 60, crafted by Southern Ocean Shipyard in Poole, UK, exemplifies enduring craftsmanship, remaining in excellent condition. Built in 1983, this vessel measures 18.29 meters in length, with a waterline length of 14.33 meters, a beam of 4.72 meters, and a draft of 2.39 meters, all constructed from robust G.R.P. material.

Designed with extended voyages in mind, the OCEAN 60 features a spacious layout with 4 cabins and 3 heads, providing comfortable accommodations. The aft-positioned cockpit offers the crew optimal visibility and maneuverability.

Constructed to Loyds A1 specifications by a distinguished shipyard, this yacht is built for extensive ocean cruising across diverse latitudes. In 2020, the standing rigging underwent a thorough overhaul by a professional rigger, though the exact age of the wires and terminals is unknown. A comprehensive rigging inspection and insurance report by Warren Fraser of Action Rigging in Cape Town, conducted in September 2023, confirmed the vessel’s structural integrity, with no signs of abnormal wear and tear observed during a visual inspection at deck level.
