YACHTING PRESS COMMENTS:
“FOR FREEDOM LOVERS”
The Gieffe GY 60 is a sophisticated 18-metre craft which could astonish with its high performance hull and a very powerful sail plan. Both sophisticated and fast, the GY 60 by Gieffe Yachts is an 18-metre craft with a high performance hull and a powerful sail plan conceived for those who enjoy the thrill of speed. It has also been created for owners who enjoy the challenge of solo sailing – the keen bow of this craft, with its distinctive Italian lines, carves through waves with precision, letting you live every moment to the full and experience an unparalleled sense of freedom.
The GY 60 is elegant, minimalist and functional below deck, too. The interior furnishings, predominated by linear forms and the colour white, are in perfect harmony with the glass inserts and the occasional matte black wengé details. At the centre of the hull, the Gieffe Yachts architects have created an ingenious solution with the dinette on the left enclosed by the huge L-shaped galley unit. The deck plan features a minimalist cockpit, dominated by the two wheel pedestals and a control panel.

MANUFACTURER’S HISTORY:
Gieffe Yachts represents a coming together of operators with more than thirty years experience in the yacht construction sector, the yard is run by a young and dynamic team of managers and technicians who strongly desire to bring a breath of fresh air to the sector. The "Gieffe Yachts" team has located its new operating base in an industrial zone south of Bergamo, in the heart of Lombardy.
Inside the shipyard is a high-tech atelier equipped to work with advanced composite materials. Of particular note is a modular drying plant which can accommodate the after-care of manufactures of up to 24 metres in length at temperatures of 120°.
The design projects are entirely developed in a three-dimensional environment in order to benefit from the most modern computer simulation and numerically controlled realization techniques.
