CNB 60 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a CNB 60 means looking at a 2008-launched semi-custom cruiser from CNB, with Philippe Briand’s hull and Couëdel Hugon Design interiors. She is a 61-foot blue-water boat offered in multiple cabin plans, and the used fleet reflects both private and ex-charter histories. Cross-shoppers often weigh her against an Oyster 575 or Oyster 62.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common on the used market, though four- and five-cabin versions appear as well, and ex-charter examples are common. The builder offered three, four, or five cabin versions from new, with the forward owner’s cabin and two aft doubles a frequent plan. The forepeak can be a crew or children’s bunk space with its own head, a double, or a workshop, so buyers should confirm which configuration a specific hull carries.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats on the market carry teak decks, electric winches, air conditioning, an inverter, chartplotter, bimini, autopilot, AIS, life raft, cockpit shower, watermaker, swim platform, freezer, bow thruster, and radar as standard-fitted gear. For power and energy, the inverter and watermaker matter most to liveaboard buyers; for sail handling, electric winches and a bow thruster ease docking and short-handed sailing. Often-seen upgrades include a furling main, dinghy davits, self-tacking jib, and a short-handed setup, while solar and a hardtop are less common owner additions.
What to Inspect
The opening transom doubles as a tender garage door, and a telescopic keel option was offered; both rely on hydraulics and merit careful inspection for seal and fluid condition. The forepeak configuration should be checked for watertight integrity relative to the sail locker or cabin conversion. A survey should focus on the transom mechanism and keel hardware.
Availability and Buyer’s Takeaway
These yachts typically appear in France, Italy, Spain, Malta, Monaco, and the Seychelles. For a buyer, the checklist is simple: confirm the cabin count and forepeak use, verify the transom and keel hydraulics, and check that the commonly fitted systems (watermaker, AIS, autopilot) are operational. A CNB 60 well kept is a capable semi-custom cruiser with real offshore range.
