Description

Some yachts hold such storied history in their timbers that they should be national monuments; there is no doubt that ZAIDA III should. Here is a rare opportunity to acquire and restore a thoroughly authentic living embodiment of American maritime history: in design (by John G Alden, Boston); in build (by one of the best, Henry B. Nevins, New York, for his City Island neighbour in business (sailmaker extraordinaire George E Ratsey, New York via Gosport, England); and in defending freedom at war (ZAIDA III’s war story below is epic). And, of course, she’s a very pretty and practical yacht with undoubted performance. ZAIDA III has reached the project stage in life although still in sailing condition; one could easily become besotted.
