Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 33 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 33
CoastalBluewater

1.80 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.80
LightHeavy

139 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 139
EasygoingPowered-up

20.8 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 20.8
TenderStiff

29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 29%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

What the fleet has seen

The Beneteau Oceanis 60, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Beneteau Oceanis 60 is a fractional sloop designed by Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design, built by Beneteau from 2015 to the present. It measures 18.2 meters LOA with a 5.0-meter beam, a 2.7-meter draft, and displaces 22,050 kg. Beneteau developed the Oceanis line in the 1980s, prioritizing interior volume, cockpit space, and ease of handling, which established the line as a global standard for charter and cruising boats. The company, founded in 1884, transitioned from wooden fishing boats to fiberglass recreational craft in the 1960s, with models like the Guppy and Fleeton facilitating a move toward semi-industrial production.watch
