LAURA Yacht for Sale

Length 60' (18.29m) Builder Reichel/Pugh Build 2007

Guests: 6
Cabins: 3
Crew: 2
Asking Price: $895,000

LAURA, ex PYWACKET V and REEF POINTS, is a 2007 60’ (18.29m) Reichel/Pugh performance-oriented racer/cruiser, built by Westerly Marine to a design by Reichel/Pugh Yacht Design, with the original concept credited to Roy Disney as his family day sailor and cruiser. LAURA is offered under a three-year lease-to-own structure with zero interest.

A Hall Spars carbon three-spreader mast and carbon boom, stainless steel rod rigging, and a Harken hydraulic carbon winch package deliver efficient, push-button sail handling with reduced crew requirements. The original spinnaker pole has been replaced with a custom-engineered, removable carbon fiber bow sprit, supported by a purpose-built downwind inventory. Upwind performance is driven by a fully battened North 3DI RAW mainsail and 3DI RAW furling medium jib, paired with a slab reef Offshore Spars carbon boom for optimized sail shape and durability or shift to the sheep’s clothing set up with her Ocean Furl hydraulic in boom furling and matching North Sails 3DI Marathon furling mainsail and furling jib on Harken hydro furl headstay. A hydraulic lifting keel (minimum draft 9’ to maximum 13’6”) enhances both upwind efficiency and access for cruising.

Deck systems are fully integrated and hydraulically supported, including a hydraulic traveler, a hydraulic-powered disappearing swim step, and a hydraulic-powered disappearing anchor roller. Four Harken carbon fiber #66 three-speed hydraulic winches manage primary and secondary loads, with running rigging led cleanly through Spinlock clutches to maintain a flush, race-ready deck. The push-button mainsheet is controlled by a Harken hydraulic captive winch. Teak weather decks, recessed hatches, and a protected cockpit layout reflect a design that prioritizes both offshore function and crew safety.

Below deck, LAURA accommodates six guests in three cabins, including a forward master stateroom with en-suite head and two aft staterooms, each with private heads and showers doubling as day head style access. Climate and onboard systems are configured for extended use, including Cruise Air air conditioning, Webasto diesel heating, and a Sea Recovery 25 GPH watermaker. The galley is equipped with a Force 10 four-burner stove and oven, Glacier custom refrigeration system with LED controls.

Her sail inventory from North Sails includes multiple 3DI configurations, Code sails, storm inventory, and lightly used genoas and spinnakers, providing a comprehensive program for competitive racing or performance cruising. Combined with her carbon rig, lifting keel, and refined hydraulic systems, LAURA represents a technically advanced 60-foot platform with proven design pedigree and structured purchase flexibility.

Designed by Reichel/Pugh Yacht Design, with the original concept credited to Roy Disney, LAURA is a technically advanced carbon sailing platform that balances race capability with offshore cruising comfort. Her sail plan is supported by a Hall Spars carbon three-spreader mast and carbon boom, stainless steel rod rigging, and a Harken hydraulic carbon winch package. A custom engineered removable carbon fiber bow sprit enhances her downwind configuration, while a fully battened North 3DI RAW mainsail and 3DI RAW furling medium jib, paired with a slab reef Offshore Spars carbon boom, optimize upwind performance and sail control or shift to the sheep’s clothing set up with her Ocean Furl hydraulic in boom furling and matching North Sails 3DI Marathon furling mainsail and furling jib on Harken hydro furl headstay.

Below deck, LAURA accommodates six guests in three cabins, including a forward master stateroom with en-suite head and two aft staterooms, each with private heads.Her comprehensive North Sails inventory includes multiple 3DI configurations, Code sails, storm inventory, and lightly used genoas and spinnakers, offering a complete program for competitive racing or performance cruising.

Broker Overview

The credit of this magnificent design and build concept belongs to the creative mind of Mr. Roy Disney. A truly stunning mix of performance, form and function all wrapped up in the most attractive package imaginable. The team at Reichel /Pugh Yacht Design and Westerly Marine of Southern California and the top-notch project managers and build coordinators from PYWACKET racing rounded out the dream and vison to precise measures.

LAURA has undergone a recent transformation to enhance her performance, ease of handling, and overall enjoyment. The massive over length spinnaker pole handled by three deck crew has been replaced by a custom engineered and fabricated removable carbon fiber bow sprit. A three sail, downwind inventory dimensioned to work with the sprit complete the package. Cuban Fiber Code Zero on a KZ Furler with Future Fibers Cable Luff System plus A-2 and A-3 simply to name a few.

Upwind performance has been enhanced by the conversion from roller reefing to new slab reef carbon boom by Offshore Spars complimented by a fully battened North 3DI Raw mainsail with lazy jacks and 3DI Raw furling medium jib. The yacht is easily converted from racing to cruising sail plan overnight by a crew of two, however it is still easily day sailed in race form with slab reefed boom. Set up either way, all equipment is found in very good condition!

Cockpit

The centerpiece of her design, the large cockpit, can be accessed from either the retractable stern boarding platform or lifeline gates port and starboard. A walk-through between the twin helm stations leads to the lengthy cockpit seats separated by a teak fold-down dining table, with ample storage beneath the center leaf. Protected by full width dodger, this spacious cockpit with down lighting from the boom makes for an ideal entertainment area and al fresco dining.

Both helm stations, feature carbon fiber wheels, are within “finger-tip” reach of all sail handling controls and the windlass, which enables one person to set sail from the helm. Instrumentation displays include repeaters from the navigation station close-by and easy to read 40/40s on the mast.

Deck

It is a delight to walk forward on the uncluttered deck where all the opening deck hatches are recessed.
The sail and chain locker, with independent bilge pump and fresh-water wash-down controls, is well laid out with ample stowage space for sails, fenders, dock lines and cleaning gear.

The anchor and roller are extracted from a recessed well hydraulically, then handled via a Lewmar windlass with a wildcat. Holding gear consists of stainless CQR anchor with an appropriate length of chain and an additional aluminum fortress anchor with chain and rode for race mode.

The stylish raised coach house offers security on deck, a beautiful concentration of light to the main saloon and great protection for the cockpit.

Walkthrough

Entering her interior down wide scooped companionway steps, the first impression is of lightness from the port-lights and opening deck hatches. Combined with Majilite headliner panels and cherry wood interior the results are a tasteful contrast with the teak and holly cabin sole.
Immediately to starboard is the navigation station with a comfortable seat and good size chart table where all the electronics, monitoring displays and hinged electrical panels are easily read and accessed.
Forward on starboard is the gourmet galley with stone counter tops, three refrigeration boxes, double stainless steel sinks and ample storage.

Moving forward of the salon in the hallway is a work counter space and a size able storage pantry.
Forward of the hallway is the large master stateroom with a center line “walk around” queen size bed with opening hatches above providing light and ventilation. There is ample stowage within drawers, cupboards and a full length-hanging locker. The spacious, bright and airy head features a full size stall shower and granite countertops.

Aft of the main salon to port and starboard are mirror image wet heads with shower. Both heads are easily accessed by day guests and also service the addition guest cabins to port and starboard. Guest cabins have single hinged upper berth and fixed lower berths. The port cabin inboard bulkhead door allows access to the very generous and workable machinery space.

Broker Comments

Through two ownership and over the past thirteen years the listing broker has played the role of shore side manager, racing helmsmen, crew boss and most appreciative guest to the cruising and racing program of LAURA. First-hand knowledge of all aspects of this yacht is readily available. This yacht has always delivered as promised and amazed ALL who have sailed aboard her. It would be selfish to not take a moment to thank Lynn Bowser of Westerly Marine for the efforts offered by he and his team in this stunning, uncompromised build and continued support throughout this ownership term… As well, the continued support of Tony Beale and the team at Reichel / Pugh Yacht Design have helped enhance the magnificent attributes of this yacht for racing, cruising and day sailing.

LAURA is a stunning boat; creatively designed, superbly built and meticulously maintained. She is the perfect boat for sailors who appreciate the very best in performance sailing while doing so in comfort with minimal crew. She is a true delight to sail. There are few 60’ yachts where one can feel comfortable and confident, dropping the mooring lines and heading off for a day-sail on your own or with guests unfamiliar to the magnificent sport of sailing.
