For those seeking limitless adventure and unbridled speed, the new HH60, with its powerful rig plan, extra-large cockpit, king size beds, and deep daggerboards, is sure to ignite the imagination. The fully refined, performance optimized HH60 will provide the ultimate platform for whatever lies over the horizon.
-
The natural evolution of the HH55, the HH60 has been expanded to provide generous entertainment and living space.
It was created with the idea of adding more space to the aft cockpit and an extra cabin in the Owner’s Hull without giving up the “Owner” part (we call it a “3/4 sized owner’s hull” with an office or a crew quarters forward of the shower). Large king size beds can be found in the aft cabins and huge sliding glass doors stack to one side to provide a seamless transition from the large salon to the open air cockpit.
This boat is probably our largest Owner/Operator yacht before you jump into our crewed HH66, so if you are an experienced yachtsman/woman and want to sail it around the world yourself, this is the largest of our models we would recommend.
-
The HH60 was born from a desire to take the already-stellar performance up another notch. A taller mast, longer longeron and deeper daggerboards ensure that the HH60 will outperform everything in its class.
Every HH Catamaran is built using the very finest, strongest and lightest materials available. We are experts in Carbon Construction and infuse all of our hulls with Epoxy resin. Bulkheads are solid carbon fiber and long, reverse plumb bows stretch the water line for efficiency. A robust sail plan allows for light wind sailing, and C-Shaped pre-preg carbon fiber daggerboards allow for unparalleled up wind performance.
Performance is part of our DNA and this is a maxi-catamaran like no other.
-
Sleek, streamlined, and stunningly beautiful, the HH60 is elegance in motion.
Whether you choose the streamlined look of the forward cockpit or the raised aft bimini that offers enormous headroom inside the cockpit, the long and stretched out hulls of the HH60 are sure to impress.
Which version is for you?
HH60-SC (AFT Helm)
The HH60-SC is a “no-compromise” performance maxi-catamaran with dual raised aft helms, king size beds, C-shaped carbon daggerboards, and stunning performance in a size that can still be owner operated by experienced sailors.
HH60-SCF (Forward Helm)
The HH60-SCF is the same boat as the SC, but features a forward cockpit and optional aft tiller chairs. This lowers the boom, reduces weight and increases sail area (and performance). It also makes room for an industry leading 5,774 watts of solar on the coachroof and davits.
Better by design. Better by build.
Luxury and speed are elevated when you have the ability to expand. The hulls boast king size beds aft and the generously sized owner’s ensuite reserves space forward of the shower for a perfect crew quarters or office space. Meanwhile, the elongated platform and taller rig boost performance to a level akin to our flagship HH66 (complete with optional tiller chairs, push button mainsheet/traveler controls and an emergency mainsheet dump system).
EcoDrive, a parallel hybrid system
The HH60 has been designed to work with a parallel diesel/electric hybrid, a large solar array on the cabin top and hydro-regeneration while sailing.
Our EcoDrive provides all the benefits of an electric boat: silent fume free motoring, instant torque for maneuvering, and hydro-regeneration while sailing; while also providing the reliability of trusty diesel engines as a back up.
For the technology shy, traditional standalone diesel engines with shaft drives are also offered.
HH60-SC (Aft Helm) Version:
Offering the best of all worlds in an easy-to-manage package; the HH60-SC is a bluewater capable, performance cruiser with intelligent yet simple-to-use systems, robustly built carbon construction, spacious interiors and a luxurious finish. Whether racing in the multihull circuit or simply cruising the world with wind speed performance, the HH60 will set a new standard in sailing performance and luxury.

Raised aft helms offer advantages and disadvantages, so choosing which model is right for you depends on how you plan to use the yacht.
The advantages of a raised aft helm are improved 360 degree visibility around the boat, a better view of the rig and sails, better visibility down the hulls for docking or tight maneuvers, more space inside your salon, a much higher ceiling height in the cockpit and two nice bench seats to enhance your cruising experience. Since there are two helm stations, the line handling can be spread out for more working room.
-
With in-house engineering and design departments, we can easily customize the helm stations. To date, we have built versions with two raised soft canvas helms, two raised hard-top helms and a single raised coach roof covering both helms with sliding doors. The height of these different options can be tailored specifically to your needs and wants.
HH60-SCF (Forward Helm) Version:
Far from ordinary, the HH60-SCF was created to emphasize the pure joy of sailing on a yacht capable of cruising around the world in style. Exceptional design, intuitive systems, envy inducing aesthetics, spacious and comfortable living spaces, and safe, responsive sailing characteristics set the HH60-SCF apart.
-
A forward helm occupies some of the salon space, but creates a single, larger forward working station with all of the lines lead to a centralized area. This makes the boat much easier to single hand while also lowering the boom and center of effort, and increasing the mainsail area. This boosts the yachts performance and keeps weight low.
The other advantages of a forward helm are the large, forward facing opening doors and hatches that increase air flow through the salon and make access forward to the bow easier and safer underway.
Optional tiller chairs allow for rudder control aft and enhance the thrill of sailing typically only found on a monohull.
-
A forward helm station and cockpit is a nice place to steer from as it keeps you connected with the crew during racing or long passages. You can hold watch from the safety and comfort of the salon and an optional Webasto sunroof improves visibility of the sails above you.
Another optional feature we recommend is a downward facing camera on the mast. This allows the captain to see the boat’s surroundings while docking. Meanwhile, visibility forward for picking up a mooring is easy with direct eyesight of the bow.
-
Our optional tiller chairs compliment the forward helm with two places to steer the boat aft. These are perfect for racing or just feeling the exhilarating performance of this racy yacht (see HH66 Flash as a real world example).
The chairs feature secure arm rests with integrated, push button control of your traveler, daggerboards and an optional hydraulic mainsheet. This is sailing that most people can only dream of.

FAQs
-
The first of several HH60s are now in production. Hull 01 will complete in mid 2023 and will be shipped to the Med later that year.
We have two fully owned and operated, state-of-the-art production facilities. One is in Xiamen, China and a second in Cebu, Philippines. The HH44 and HH50 are built in Cebu while our larger boats, including the HH60, are build in Xiamen.
-
There are many races around the world in which the HH60 can compete (and win), but the primary class association is OMA (Offshore Multihull Association). This class was formed in 2017 with the mission to establish and promote offshore multihull racing and accurate ratings for the purposes of scoring race events. The association is involved in the Rolex Fastnet Race, Caribbean 600, Les Voiles de Saint Barths, BVI Spring Regatta, Antigua Race Week, Caribbean Multihull Challenge, Aegean 600, NYYC Race Week, Multihull Cup in Mallorca, Stamford YC Vineyard Race, the Rolex Middle Sea race and more. There is also talk of creating a Mutli-Maxi class specifically tailored to support large 60 ‘+ catamarans. HH Catamarans are founding members of this effort.
-
The HH60 is a longer version of our HH55 and the design features a hull shape designed for high speed sailing in moderate to heavy winds. In these conditions the leeward transom will push deeper into the water, elongating the waterline and increasing performance without depressing the squared off transom behind it (thus limiting drag). So while the transoms sit above the water at anchor, the boat’s performance under sail will be greater than our HH55 design.
-
Yes, as our boats get larger, we allow more customization. On the HH60 you can select the exterior paint color, deck colors, interior flooring, laminates, real woods, countertops, mullions and fixtures. We also have several interior layout options you can choose from including different galley designs (with or without an island) and more. Please let us know your goals and we can help you build your dream boat.
-
We recommend a 12 foot tender. The davits are carbon fiber and have a high load capacity and you can fit a larger model if necessary. We also offer the ability to ship a Highfield tender with your boat, if requested.
-
The HH60 is in a league with our HH66 and we expect to see them on the race course together often. Sharing the same Morrelli & Melvin DNA, build materials and production facility mean these two boats are more similar than you might think. That said, the HH60 can be owner-operated by an experienced couple, where as our larger HH66 is truly a crewed boat.
