										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><b>OCEAN 60 Schooner</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, built in 1983 by Southern Ocean Shipyard, is a robust and proven </span><b>bluewater cruiser</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> constructed to Lloyds of London A1 specification. She features a solid G.R.P. hull, modified fin keel, and semi-skeg-mounted rudder, delivering both strength and stability for unrestricted ocean passages. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The vessel benefits from </span><b>recent upgrades</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> including </span><b>polyurethane paint finishes</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, refreshed </span><b>antifouling</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and a </span><b>fully overhauled windlass and rigging inspections</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, ensuring she is ready for extended cruising. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Her schooner rig, complete with </span><b>new and recently serviced sails</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, offers versatility and balanced sail handling ideal for passagemaking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On deck and below, the yacht is thoughtfully </span><b>equipped for comfortable long-distance living</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. A spacious aft cockpit features modern </span><b>Garmin navigation electronics (2024-2025)</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, autopilot, and a </span><b>refurbished bimini</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with additional awnings, while deck gear includes dual anchors, extensive stainless steel fittings, and a </span><b>new BBQ</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><b>solar array system</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Below deck, the vessel accommodates up to 10 guests across</span><b> four cabins plus crew quarters</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, with a practical layout including a well-equipped galley, generous saloon, and dedicated navigation station. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Powered by a </span><b>110 Hp Yanmar</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> engine and supported by a </span><b>6 kW generator</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><b>water maker</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and substantial tankage, this schooner is exceptionally well-prepared for self-sufficient global cruising, combining classic design with modern reliability and equipment.</span></p>
