Class 6 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a used O Yachts Class 6 means looking at a 63-foot semi-custom catamaran from the Latvian builder O Yachts, founded by Frenchman Dan Lévy in 2014 and building northeast of Riga. The boat is a world-cruising platform conceived for families and short-handed pairs going long distances. Because the boat is semi-custom, no two will carry identical equipment, but the central spine molded into the nacelle is common to every hull and shapes both the living space and what you should look at before buying.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The spine removes the forward crossbeam and opens a 44 m² nacelle with wide aft island berths from the chines and athwartships forward berths set high to clear the performance bows. A sliding saloon window gives the Open+ layout. Expect an enormous galley and a saloon-cockpit floor of roughly 475 square feet regardless of cabin count.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Used Class 6 boats commonly carry a bimini, a short-handed setup, lithium batteries, a gennaker, a furling main, a cockpit shower, radar, AIS and autopilot. For a buyer, the lithium batteries and short-handed rigging matter most: they speak to a boat set up for extended off-grid cruising and single- or couple-handed control of the hydraulic furling and winches. The gennaker and furling main are the sail-handling core, while radar and AIS belong to the navigation cluster that any offshore buyer should verify is operational.
What to Inspect
Inspection centers on confirming the spine and sandwich construction are intact. Press on the nacelle sides and look for hairline gelcoat crazing where the central spine meets the molded hull, since this suspended third hull carries mast and forestay loads and any localised softening or repair patching there is a red flag anchor. Check the Kevlar-reinforced impact zones in the hulls for prior collision or grounding repair, and confirm the foam-sandwich furniture shows no water staining that would hint at a leaked fitting. Verify the hydraulic furling for main, genoa, staysail and gennaker operates smoothly at the helm, as a seized hydraulic winch or ram is a costly correction on a short-handed boat.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Class 6 are Mauritius and Guatemala. Before committing, run this short checklist:
- Confirm the spine-to-nacelle joint is free of crazing or repair.
- Test every hydraulic furling function from the helm.
- Inspect Kevlar impact zones for grounding or collision work.
- Check foam-sandwich furniture for water ingress stains.
- Verify lithium bank and short-handed rigging are operational.
