Description
A high-performance yacht that perfectly balances speed, seaworthiness, and comfortable cruising, presented in very good overall condition with a carbon rig, high-spec deck gear, and modern electrical systems.
FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:
In 2010, a Spanish client commissioned the well-known Spanish designer Iñigo Toledo of Barracuda Yacht Design to design a fast, modern performance yacht to compete in a transatlantic race from Portugal to the Caribbean. The custom build was completed by Ronautica in Spain, who delivered the boat in 2011 with no costs spared in her high-tech carbon fibre construction, or her luxurious and beautifully appointed 5-cabin, 4-heads interior.
Originally named GRAN JOTITI, she was used by her first owner for fast cruising and racing on the Spanish West Coast and also the Fastnet Race, always with a professional crew onboard. In 2019, she was then sold to her second and current owner who renamed her PILOU began a comprehensive program of refit, service and upgrade to create a fast, but comfortable cruising yacht for private sailing with family and friends in Mediterranean waters.
Her specification highlights include:
• Carbon fibre sandwich construction
• Khaki green painted topsides
• Teak laid decks
• Drop-down aft bathing platform
• 3.00m draft torpedo bulb lead keel
• Carbon fibre rudder blade
• Yanmar 110hp engine with shaft drive and 3-bladed folding propeller
• MaxPower retractable bowthruster
• Full electrical system redone to analog during summer 2026
• Twin helm pedestals with carbon fibre helm wheels
• Flush deckhead hatches
• Fold-out anchor arm
• Southern Spars carbon fibre mast and Park Avenue boom
• One Sails laminate mainsail and self-tacking jib
• Retractable carbon fibre bowsprit
• Lewmar deckgear and electric winch package
• Sprayhood and bimini
• Cockpit table with fridge
• B&G instrument package with chart plotters, radar, H3000 system, 20/20 mast repeaters and autopilot
• Tender and outboard
• Lithium-Ion service battery bank
• Victron charger and inverter installation
• Victron isolation transformer

PILOU is a great example of a combination of high performance racing capabilities and comfortable cruising, with modern systems and thoughtful upgrades making her ready for her next owner’s adventures.

OWNER’S COMMENTS:
PILOU has always been professionally maintained and is currently being managed and maintained by X-Yachts Greece, where she has a permanent mooring in Olympic marine, a short 30-min drive from Athens airport.
After having purchased PILOU in 2019 and 2020, a comprehensive renovation started to convert the boat into a fast but comfortable cruising yacht. Due to covid the PILOU remained based on the Westcoast of Spain during the summer of 2021 but since 2022, she has cruised the Mediterranean waters from Gibraltar to Greece.
DESIGNER’S COMMENTS
Barracuda Yacht Design (BYD) are pleased to unveil the design for the new Ronautica RO 620 Custom Line, with the first hull due for completion autumn 2010.
Having designed Ronautica’s range of four cruiser-racer yachts in the past, BYD were the natural choice to develop and unveil this spectacular ‘flagship’ design, which will be constructed at Ronautica’s modern facility in Barcelona, for a European client.
Powered by a 100m² mainsail with the option of a self-tacking or overlapping jib, the RO 620 Custom Line personifies the ‘cruiser-racer’ concept, fulfilling both roles equally well.
Attributes such as an almost plumb bow, retractable bow-sprit, flush-fitting hatches, clean decks and quasi Americas Cup looking guard rails, point towards a purposeful looking yacht with serious intent.
Underneath the waterline the carbon sandwich hull could be described as a ‘tuned down’ racing hull, sporting a high-tensile steel keel with lead bulb the yacht will draw 3.30m. Steering will be linked to a high-aspect ratio carbon rudder with carbon stock.
A competitive crew will be well catered for in a large cockpit area, where there is plenty of forward looking space to access the winches – (size 77’s for Genoa and 68 for mainsheet).
In between twin wheels, the mainsheet winch sits on a raised pedestal, doubling as a centre-consol for the yacht’s various instruments and repeaters. Optional racing-style pedestal winches can be accommodated immediately behind the consol.
In cruising mode a platform ‘terrace’ area, immediately behind the wheels, serves as a great place for sunbathing and relaxing. Alternatively, in competitive mode, this ‘afterguard’ area will enable navigators and tacticians to call out the racing strategy.
The design for the accommodation will be comfortable but fairly minimalist. The intention has been to create an atmosphere that replicates the sharp looking feel and purposeful nature of the boat above deck.
Individual accommodation needs will be constrained only by bulkhead requirements and the position of certain major installations. Otherwise, the size, number and location of accommodation rooms and living space areas can be specified on a semi-custom basis by each owner.
