The Pilote Saloon 60 is an iconic long-distance cruising sailboat, built in 1992 by the French shipyard Wauquiez, on a design signed by Ed Dubois, a renowned British naval architect known for his powerful and elegant yachts.
This model embodies the deck saloon concept introduced by Wauquiez, featuring a luminous and panoramic interior, offering unmatched comfort underway and at anchor. The sailboat is constructed with a focus on strength and durability, typical of Wauquiez quality.
This sailboat stands out for: Its excellent sea-handling, even in rough waters, a secure and sheltered helm station, spacious interior volumes: elevated saloon with sea view, large owner’s cabin at the stern, ideal for extended cruising or even solo circumnavigation.
