Is this Amel 60 the supreme yacht for shorthanded world cruising?
Спорт
This Amel 60 sloop, the French yard's new flagship, is a seriously impressive luxury cruiser which comes very highly specced for its €1.65m asking price - down to the Dyson vacuum cleaner. Toby gives you the full tour

I'm so impressed with how Amel has continuously refined this design over the decades. Gorgeous boat.
And "Lotto" shall be her name.

I have been waiting for this video for so long and it was much better than I hoped it would be. Thank you
Dream yacht. Literally wouldn't change a thing. Just need to win the lottery now.
I am really glad they showed it sailing . That is my favorite part. Would love to see this boat cruising rough seas under sail.
Mind blowing. Our old 46 foot masthead sloop ocean racer in the day was polar opposite to the comfort and convenience seen here. So many fantastic memories. Can’t wait to go back to sea.
I love the Supermaramu, the 55 was a leap of brilliance, but this thing is other worldly. What a boat.
Beautiful boat,Amel did it again!!!impressed!!!
THE BOOM NEEDS TO BE TIDE UP WHEN IS NOT IN USE AS THE SOUND IT MAKES WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY
Amel have always been a strong option for short handed circs. This vessel is now my first choice for safety and comfort. The interior in this example is beautiful and functional. Thanks for a great review Toby.
That's a beautiful boat, thanks for showing it to us.
Love all the automation. Surprised at the lack of solar panels. Also like to see a much larger coach roof to accommodate those solar panels.

Stunning yacht following a modern interpretation of the Amel philosophy. Wish I could afford one... Kudos to the Amel team!
Back to watch this video for 💯 time just so I can dream
For a semi-disabled person like myself with a prosthetic leg and resultant mobility/stability problems, this yacht seems to be the answer with its enclosed helm. Thank you Toby for the well executed presentation

great sail, big and made it to 1 person from cockpit can easy sail, comfort
That is an awesome design. The fact that the wheel is (mostly) protected from wind/rain has to be a huge selling point. Also, it looks to be very easy to handle single-handedly.

But that's also the problem. If you've never sailed then you couldn't possibly understand. You watch the sails and the waves and how your boat is entering them. You feel the wind on your face and your hands respond with minute movements of the wheel to your whiskers displacement. It's incredible. I was once allowed to helm a J-class for 3 glorious hours. Amel divorces you from the experience. A lot of people love the idea of a wheelhouse but that's what autopilots are for.

Yachts don`t get any better than this. This really is the perfect blue water cruiser.
Toby, as usual spot on review mate. Taking the hydraulic steering out probably saves weight and cost too. You really help to inspire the sailor spirit in the landliest of land lovers. Thanks for having us aboard.

Love the mechanics and functionality. The floor plan is terrific. I’ve yet to see something called modern that I would spend money on. Alas, Amel is no exception. But, I have enough appreciation for modern styling to know this boat will do well in the market. There are many who do not share my aversion to new. They will love this boat. She’s one I could appreciate to the nth degree. But, she’s built for someone else. Great review. Really liked the action shot of the tack. Great to see all the moving parts in action.
I absolutely love this boat. It's gorgeous
What a beautiful boat!
Hot summer day, enjoy the Sunset and then watch some telly, while watching have the AC on, cool down the bedrooms, then fall asleep in a Cold Bed after a crazy-hot day! Utopia
Very, very logically designed boats. Good build. Good layout.
Great review Toby. Thanks. We can all dream.
Thank you for showing it in actually sailing instead of the boring enclosed boat shows :))
Thanks for the video and thanks Amel.
Very impressed, I love the port light for viewing the prop
Great video and beautiful boat. Well Done.

An absolute beauty. A sweet mix of practicality, quality and elegance. Drawn for extended liveaboard cruising by a circumnavigator sailor who've been places. Beat that, Oyster! (even if the last Oyster is not actually too shabby, my friends...😀)
Well “Toby” I am sold on your ship! I won’t feel nervous in heavy seas!
I love this boat! I recently bought a 60 ft sailing yacht, and I'm thinking of basing the interior design styling on parts of this boat. Most large sailing yachts of this size often have a caravan style interior, but this modern design style and simplicity is so much nicer, especially if you're looking for a live-aboard.

Yeah, a great boat for sure but I think the most people doesn't need such high specs as in the Amel 60. The Jeanneau 60 (Briand and Winch) will be fine
Great looking boat. This channel is making me want to go sailing again. Perhaps I'll learn to sail as well, instead of just enjoying the ride.

Lovely interior set out. Perfect. Not sure about that helm position though. Sealed off engine room will be good for future solid state batteries instead of an engine?
I think Amel's are one of the few sailboats with water tight bulkheads. A very important feature for ocean cruising.

You think when you start to sail you'll get seasick, about a year ago while soloing in the Yasawa Group Islands, I had some cyclonic weather also washing machine wave action, not once was I seasick even down below when I was charging my batteries off the diesel. I found that if I was busy enough and really enjoying my self, queasiness was not an issue. Or perhaps that was just me!
This is the sailing equivalent of glamping and I love it

Really nice boat- I don't about all the noises from rigging nor when tacking having all the sheets across the lounges ( at about 4:30). Surely this can be better for the 1.65mil you pay for it ???? Really bright interior and clean lines and lots of storage ( as you would expect for 60')- certainly a boat to consider, and would not knock it back if offered

Yea obviously I’m probably never going to custom order a new boat, but if I were I’d ditch all the electric blinds for manual. While I think I’d feel like less of a sailor using electric winches(never actually used an electric winch) it’s definitely a nice feature to have and even if they electric goes out on the winches and furlers they still work the same. If anything I’d ditch the electric furler for the code since it’s so light and maybe only use electric winch for the main sheet? But hey every boat I sail takes a lot of elbow grease and in some cases actually sweating lines

@@matthewfriske438 from the start, Amel choose this way to sell big bluewater boats for only one hand or a couple. It's their "commercial baseline" in france. In high latitudes you can stay inside and manage your sails too, like a real exploration sailboat. It's a bit between two markets, when you are able to spend 1 M in a yacht... but don't want to have ( or cannot pay for) a full time skipper on board, seducing your wife and drinking your overpriced wine.

Dear Toby, Thank you for the detailed and careful presentation of this exceptional and beautiful yacht. There are so many intelligent and useful detailed solutions on and in the AMEL 60. I particularly like the completely isolated, separate and walk-in engine and technical room. It all looks very well sorted and very cleanly worked. One question - would the davits be capable of supporting a 210 kilogram WILLIAMS minijet? I would be happy if I got an answer. Many thanks and all the best and continued success for the AMEL shipyard. Warm greetings from Germany!
