The Pilot Saloon 60 is an iconic long-distance cruising sailboat, built in 1992 by the French yard Wauquiez, based on a design by Ed Dubois, a renowned British naval architect famous for his powerful and elegant cruising yachts.
This model embodies the deck saloon concept introduced by Wauquiez, with a bright and panoramic interior offering unparalleled comfort while sailing or at anchor. The sailboat is built with a focus on strength and durability, typical of Wauquiez quality.
This sailboat is distinguished by: its excellent seaworthiness even in rough seas, a secure and sheltered steering station, large interior volumes: raised saloon with sea view, spacious owner's cabin at the aft, ideal for extended cruising or even a circumnavigation with a small crew.
Fully air-conditioned, very well maintained,
