The Sundeer 60 is a bluewater performance cruiser designed by Steve Dashew and built by TPI Composites in Warren, Rhode Island, from 1994 to 1997. Only 17 hulls were built using TPI''s SCRIMP resin infusion process, making them lightweight yet extremely strong. At nearly 60 feet LOA with a narrow 13.5-foot beam (a 4.4:1 length-to-beam ratio), the Sundeer 60 is optimized for speed offshore rather than harbor living. Dashew''s trademark fine entry, large mainsail, and center-cockpit layout give the boat exceptional passage-making capability — several Sundeers have logged multiple circumnavigations. The Sundeer 60 is one of the most respected bluewater designs of the 1990s and commands strong prices on the used market.
