About the Sixty Solar Sail Sailboat

Dixon Yacht Design's latest offering represents a bold step into sustainable luxury cruising with this impressive 62-foot catamaran that made its debut in 2023. Built through a collaboration between Xquisite Yachts and Phoenix Marine, this twin-hulled cruiser showcases modern composite construction utilizing E-Glass, Divinicell PVC foam core, and epoxy vinyl ester resin for optimal strength-to-weight performance. The generous 29-foot beam provides exceptional stability and interior volume, making this catamaran ideally suited for extended offshore cruising and live-aboard applications. Twin 110-horsepower engines offer reliable auxiliary power, while the fractional sloop rig with 2,325 square feet of sail area delivers impressive performance under sail. The SA/Displacement ratio of 24.21 indicates spirited sailing capabilities typical of modern performance cruising catamarans. With its twin keel configuration and moderate 5.4-foot draft, the vessel offers excellent shallow-water access while maintaining directional stability. The substantial displacement of over 60,000 pounds suggests generous payload capacity for extended cruising provisions and equipment. This design appears purpose-built for couples or families seeking comfortable, efficient passage-making with reduced environmental impact, combining contemporary catamaran advantages with sustainable technology integration.
