Indigo 60' IY 60

S/Y Mischief, IY60 Indigo, is a distinctive 60-foot offshore sailing yacht launched in May 2004 and built by Brent Gray Projects in South Africa. Designed by Simonis-Voogd Yachts, the IY60 combines thoughtful performance engineering with robust construction for serious offshore sailing.

Indigo’s hull is a light displacement, moderate beam design that supports both stability and speed, paired with a high-aspect carbon rudder and an inverted T-profile keel that enhances directional control and upwind performance. The composite hull and deck use unidirectional E-glass with Airex/Herex PVC foam core and epoxy resin for strength and durability, with reinforced high-impact areas for offshore resilience.

Measuring 60 ft overall, with a beam of 15.74 ft and a draft of 8.5 ft, Indigo also carries substantial ballast to balance performance with seaworthiness. The yacht was built to comply with CE Category A standards for ocean sailing, featuring watertight bulkheads, a composite keel fin with a lead bulb, carbon fiber rudder gear and a robust systems layout that supports true offshore capability.

Indigo’s engineering extends below decks, with an efficient electrical and navigation suite, and practical tankage — including roughly 232 gal of fuel and 158.5 gal of fresh water — making her well suited for extended passages without frequent stops.

Overall, the IY60 Indigo represents a well-rounded offshore yacht: a composite-built, performance-oriented design with enough structure and systems to handle serious ocean work while remaining versatile enough for cruising and longer coastal journeys.

This IY60 has had many upgrades, updates over the years and has been taken care of by some of the best boatyards on the East Coast of US.
