ICE 60

ICE 62 MODERN CLASSIC FAST CRUISER
The Ice Yachts presents in the market the new ICE 60, a fast cruise dedicated to passionate and competent owners that seek enjoyment and strong emotions at the helm. Built with highly innovative materials and advanced construction techniques the ICE 60 is in a league of its own in all that regards performance, comfort on board and ability to take on even the toughest conditions at sea. Excellent for demanding cruises and regattas.
The project has been realized by Felci Yacht Design and the production is done in the historic site of Yacht 2000, the yard that has had over thirty years of experience and has completed more than 80 prestigious maxi-yachts.
The hydrodynamics are nothing less than impressive. The waterlines allow the ICE 60 to glide at very high speeds due to its max beam of 5.20 m and the carefully studied appendages also grant the yacht great upwind capabilities: the ICE 60 shows no problem in beating with extremely narrow angles.
To guarantee this level of performance the advanced technologies are used in the construction process and the elevated skill of the artisans which have great experience and expertise in their field.

TECHNICAL DATA TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS
The boat weighs 18 tons, 25% less than the average boat in the same category; has almost 220 m2 of sail surface when going downwind and great stability thanks to the shape and the weigh/keel ratio. Hull and deck of the boat are laminated with a sandwich infusion technique using a glass-carbon fiber composite material with an epoxy resin and PVC foam core with different density and thickness which has been chosen chosen as it allows to sustain several strains.
The localized reinforcements are made with unidirectional and biaxial carbon fiber beams. The structures (bulkheads and floors) are either longitudinal or traverse and are made of glass-carbon fiber with PVC foam cores at various densities all entirely vacuum sandwich laminated in epoxy. The chainplates of shrouds, forestay and backstay are composite and steel made.

INTERIOR
Offered in two versions, the interiors are our interpretation of how the enjoyment of living on board and the Italian style can be combined making it pleasurable to spend a long time offshore. All the cabins are comfortable and refined, with the right ventilation and equipped with large lockers to stow personal belongings. All this executed in a clean and modern style with extensive use of solid wood. The design of the furniture and the orientation of the wood veneer provides a luxurious and refined interior.

DECK
The deck combines simplicity and style with technology and efficiency. The steering wheel is in a forward position for an optimal view and the sails and direct control over the mainsheet even when the boat is under the heel. The large area at the stern is clear of any equipment and can be fitted with cushions for extra comfort.
The transom can be opened and converted into a platform for sea bathing and provides access to a large garage where it is possible to stow a 10,82 ft tender without deflating it.
The cockpit is characterized by large benches and backrests plus the possibility of having a dining table.
The wide but discrete hatches of the coach roof along with the large portholes provide unrivaled interior lighting giving it a pleasant brightness. The low freeboards make the hull elegant and slender.
The boat deck is completely clean and is equipped with electric jib furler, fitted below the deck and fixed bowsprit with anchor and gennaker tack point.

Great performances are guaranteed by the advanced technologies used in construction and the quality of the craftsmanship. These are the qualities that have allowed the famous FELCI 61, from which the ICE 60 derives directly, to win the most important offshore races such as: ARC Atlantic Rally, Giraglia, L'Antigua, Sailing Week, 500x 2 and many others. The ICE 60 also is a wonderful and relaxing family cruiser at the same time.
Years of experience in advanced composites and offshore sailing led us to select the best materials and the most refined construction techniques. Ice Yachts are entirely manufactured in our facilities to ensure the highest quality and everything, from the laying of the carbon skin to tightening the last bolt, building process is carefully controlled by our experts.

CONSTRUCTION: TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS
Hull and deck of the boat are laminated with a sandwich infusion technique using a glass-carbon fiber composite material with epoxy resin and PVC foam core with different density and thickness. The use of 3-step infusion process (infusion on the outer skin, vacuum bonded core, infusion on the inner skin) has been chosen because it allows to obtain optimal control of the laminate. The localized reinforcements are made with unidirectional and biaxial carbon fiber beams. The structures (bulkheads and floors) are either longitudinal or traverse and are made of glass-carbon fiber with PVC foam cores of various densities all entirely vacuum laminated in epoxy. The chainplates of shrouds, forestay and backstay are composite and steel made.
