The
best of both worlds,
Zaraffa lives two lives:
A winning IMS racer, and a comfortable
family cruiser. In her racing
life, the 66-foot Zaraffa
has raced everything from the
Fastnet Race (where she placed
first in class, second in fleet)
to the Bermuda Race (first in
IMS Cruiser/Racer Division, winning
the prestigious Lighthouse Trophy).
In her cruising life, Zaraffa's
Owner and family have enjoyed
making coastal hops as well as
ocean crossings in speed and comfort.
In a world where raceboats are
growing increasingly Spartan and
cruising boats can resemble motorsailers
more than sailboats, Zaraffa's
dual-purpose capabilities prove
that, whether racing or cruising,
you really can have it all. |

Zaraffa's
construction challenge,
which was to build a yacht light
enough for racing but comfortable
and appealing enough for cruising,
led NEB's experts to marry the
light and strong combination of
Kevlar/carbon fiber to a Nomex
honeycomb and Core-Cell structural
foam core. The composite construction
gave Zaraffa outstanding
panel stiffness and strength as
well as superior acoustic and
thermal insulation. The yacht
is beautifully finished belowdeck,
with contemporary styling and
a full cruising interior. The
accommodations feature an owner's
stateroom aft, guest stateroom
forward, an expansive salon amidships,
a gourmet galley to port, and
an extensive nav station to starboard. |
