2009 VISMARA V60 Classic

COMMENTS:

Aimed at sailors seeking a fast and technological cruiser with all of the very latest Vismara innovations yet with a classical, elegant style, and features a soft hull profile and a fibreglass carbon construction, two cockpits, a stunning teak bridge and ultra-comfy interiors, made to measure.

The hull is a Vismara design, based on the Vismara – Farr 60’ “Mattone”. The hull profile is modern but not extreme, seeing that it is a classic, and it guarantees better seakeeping, comfort while sailing and excellent performance either under sail or engine power. The whole craft has been built with the standard materials and technology in use at Vismara, i.e., advanced composites, fibreglass, carbon and vacuum epoxy.

With its classical teak bridge in pure Baltic style, the deck has a large sail peak in the bow with interior anchor peak and concealed anchor, flush deck companions, slightly raised deckhouse with panoramic side windows, central cockpit for guests with comfy seating and backrests, a large sun pad amidships, a stern cockpit to which all of the rig has been sent underneath the deck, two stern peaks for storage and a 2.60 m compartment for a tender, plus bathing platform.

The sail plan is complete with carbon mast and all ultra-modern services so that the boat can be skippered by a single person. The main sail furls electrically into the boom, the jib and code zero furlers will be set below deck and, as already mentioned, the rig is sent below deck to the stern cockpit, with main sheet and hydraulic vang control from a power unit controlled from the helm.

Other modern features on this boat are the new 24 V gensets, electric water maker, and computer-controlled electronic air conditioning operated by battery.
