Cannes, France · world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
Cantiere del Pardo’s largest yacht, a 19.68-metre bluewater cruiser by Matteo Polli and Nauta Design built to cross oceans short-handed.
The largest yacht ever built in Forlì
Cantiere del Pardo calls the 60 its fullest expression of the bluewater cruiser and the largest yacht it has ever built in Forlì. The yard promises genuine autonomy and handling that stays effortless even with a reduced crew.
Race-bred geometry on a cruising hull
Matteo Polli’s naval architecture brings race-bred geometries to a 60-foot cruiser: a pronounced V-shaped bow, flat aft sections and reduced wetted surface. The hull is beamier than the category average, which the yard says gives more usable volume, more form stability and a more liveable deck for the same length. The significantly aft-stepped mast opens a larger foretriangle, giving a more generous jib and a proportionally smaller mainsail.
A double-C cockpit for short-handed sailing
The double-C cockpit creates two independent areas with tables that convert into full-size sunpads, dining eight to ten. All lines run beneath the deck back to the helm, keeping the passage forward clear. The yard describes her as a 60-footer conceived for long passages and for short-handed sailing.
The numbers behind the range
Below deck the yard lists what it calls the numbers behind true bluewater autonomy. Those are 1,140 litres of diesel, a 150 litre-per-hour watermaker, battery banks of up to 1,040 amp hours, a 12.5 kilowatt generator and up to 880 watts of solar.
