Designed for competitive edge, the Composite Works German Frers 60 is a masterclass in performance engineering. Built in 2001 and subjected to a rigorous refit in 2024, the vessel utilizes full carbon construction for the hull, mast, and boom. The 18.3-meter yacht features a sophisticated canting keel and canard system, complemented by a new 2024 carbon rigging package and a 2024 carbon sail inventory, ensuring top-tier responsiveness on the water.
Powering this vessel is a 75 hp Yanmar engine paired with a hydraulic telescopic bow thruster for precise maneuverability. The 2024 refit was comprehensive, including a full mechanical service, hydraulic system overhaul for the keel and mast jack, and the installation of a new B&G electronics suite featuring five jumbo displays at the mast, dual GPS, and AIS. The deck layout is optimized for efficiency with eight winches, four of which are electric, and a retractable carbon anchor arm.
Below deck, the German Frers 60 balances racing utility with functional living space. The interior utilizes a lightweight composite finish accented with teak, housing two cabins and two bathrooms. The layout accommodates between 8 and 10 berths, supported by a fully equipped galley featuring a gas stove, microwave, and refrigerator. Comfort is maintained via an integrated Hi-Fi system with external speakers and a sprayhood for protection in varying conditions.
This yacht is ideally suited for sailors seeking a proven competitive platform that has been modernized to current standards. The focus on weight reduction—from the carbon passarelle and ladder to the hull wrapping performed in 2020—demonstrates a commitment to performance integrity.
