Open 60

Open 60 refers to a type of racing sailboat that is 60 feet (about 18 meters) long. Designed for competitive sailing, these boats are built for speed, agility, and endurance, often used in long-distance races like the Vendée Globe. They feature sleek hulls, advanced materials, and powerful sails to navigate challenging ocean conditions efficiently. Open 60s are considered high-performance yachts that combine cutting-edge design with the skill of their sailors to tackle some of the toughest offshore races. Their size and capabilities make them a popular platform for professional sailors pushing the limits of solo or crewed ocean racing.
