About the Sixty Solar Sail

Dixon Yacht Design's latest offering represents a bold step into sustainable luxury cruising with this impressive 62-foot catamaran that made its debut in 2023. Built through a collaboration between Xquisite Yachts and Phoenix Marine, this twin-hulled cruiser showcases modern composite construction utilizing E-Glass, Divinicell PVC foam core, and epoxy vinyl ester resin for optimal strength-to-weight performance. The generous 29-foot beam provides exceptional stability and interior volume, making this catamaran ideally suited for extended offshore cruising and live-aboard applications. Twin 110-horsepower engines offer reliable auxiliary power, while the fractional sloop rig with 2,325 square feet of sail area delivers impressive performance under sail. The SA/Displacement ratio of 24.21 indicates spirited sailing capabilities typical of modern performance cruising catamarans. With its twin keel configuration and moderate 5.4-foot draft, the vessel offers excellent shallow-water access while maintaining directional stability. The substantial displacement of over 60,000 pounds suggests generous payload capacity for extended cruising provisions and equipment. This design appears purpose-built for couples or families seeking comfortable, efficient passage-making with reduced environmental impact, combining contemporary catamaran advantages with sustainable technology integration.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 24.21
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 17.44
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 2.99
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 10.25 kn
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
