Old-school design meets modern engineering in this new cruiser.
Despite the 60’s old-school-ish lines, however, this yacht performs in a way that might be described as sporty at top end, and could also qualify as efficient in friendly cruise. With the upgrade twin 900-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS1200s, the Eastbay tops out at a very respectable 30 knots. But it also cruises efficiently at 21 knots and goes into hyper-efficient mode at a 10-knot displacement speed.
The woody, light-filled interior has an old-school look for owners who appreciate traditional nautical design.The performance edge comes from combining its V-Warp hull, which Eastbay says delivers a smoother ride and more efficiency than a traditional planing hull, and the all-carbon-fiber superstructure. The carbon fiber’s lower weight offers a big advantage over a typical fiberglass lay-up. Its automatically pushes up performance while also creating a stiffer running surface.
The 60 is designed for three-season cruising, with a relatively small cockpit aft and a sunbed and forward lounge on the long forepeak. Except for cocktail hour and the occasional sunning session, the place to hang will be the interior, which combines retro-sailing influences with modern features. Lots of teak and white upholstery in the salon create a clean, timeless look, with multiple areas for socializing.
Probably one of the most impressive areas is the one that’s most hidden. Thanks to the boat’s 19-foot beam, the engine room has a generous layout with excellent working space. Besides the twin Volvo Penta IPS1200s, owners can also opt for the lower 750 hp IPS950s, or if the owner doesn’t want pod drives, a conventional shaft is also an option.Beyond the engines, the 60’s layout is customizable.
