Zebra

Sold - Zebra
Boat ID:

Zebra is visually stunning Spirit of Tradition style yacht for use by her owners as a lively day-sailor, competitive racer and / or comfortable weekend cruiser. With their timeless beauty and advanced construction, the W-46s quicken sailors’ hearts for generations to come.

The hull shape is unmistakably stunning. Above the waterline it has gorgeous overhangs fore and aft. But lurking beneath the water is a sleek, modern underbody sculpted from cold-molded strips of wood laminated with epoxy. The keel is a fin with bulb and the spade rudder is of carbon fiber. Towering high above the teak is a strong, light-weight carbon-fiber rig.

Tradition and a respect for what is truly beautiful can be seen in the lines of the W.46, but she is designed for today. There is plenty of room for a sizable crew, but she can also be raced easily by just a few eager sailors. In cruising mode, she can be sailed by one or two couples – or even a single-hander.

“W.46s are a treat to build. Their excellent design, well-thought-out construction plan, and aesthetic all take advantage of wood’s superior engineering qualities to yield a lightweight, strong, and beautiful vessel.” -TAYLOR ALLEN, OWNER, ROCKPORT MARINE, BUILDER OF W-CLASS YACHTS

“I think you would be amazed at the feel of the W-46.” -ROBERT PERRY, NAVAL ARCHITECT

“Feathering upwind with the sleek vessel in perfect trim and the helm as light as a pillow, it was hard not to feel a twinge of sympathy for all the other sailors, on all their other boats.” -HERB MCCORMICK, NEW YORK TIMES

Zebra has been lightly used by her original owner. Winter inside stored and maintained by Hinkley.
