ZEN Yachts’ Post

#Sailboat Market Size, Trends, Growth Rate, Analysis Report Upto 2032 >> https://lnkd.in/dzDtBhbQ A #sailboat, also known as a sailing #yacht or sail yacht, is a type of #watercraft that is propelled primarily by sails. Unlike #motorboats, which use #engines for propulsion, sailboats rely on wind #power to move through the #water. These boats come in various sizes and #designs, ranging from small dinghies and #daysailers to large ocean-going yachts.

Do you wonder how carbon yachts are made? And how the first ZEN50 hull production looks like? To satiate your curiosity, here is a 3 minute timelapse of the first 3 months of production. Every minute represents 1 month of careful and passionate craft by our Production Team. They have poured their heart into this yacht and we are happy to share this little snippet of carbon fibre yacht building craftsmanship with you! In this video, you will see the fabrication of the wave cutter and of the hull skin until the infusion is completed (you can see the resin flowing through the starboard side of the hull toiwards the end of video). The thin film covering the boat in the last third of the video is to maintain constant temperature while resin cures. Stay tuned as we will be regularly posting more insightful ZEN50 production videos! #carbonfiber #boatbuilding #yachtbuilding #solarenergy #cleanenergy #zeroemission #carbonneutral #ev #electricvehicle #cleanmobility #solarboat #solaryacht #electricboat #electricyacht #solarelectricboat #solarelectricyacht #wingsail #wingsailyacht #solarwingyacht #swy #yacht #catamaran #ecoyacht #yachtlife #yachting #boating #zeroemissionnautic #zen #wingsail #ayro #zen50 #sailzen

More than just a pretty boat. Yes, the R42 is pretty, but let’s not forget a few other attributes that have made her the quintessential ocean cruiser over the last quarter of a century. Let’s start at the bottom, with her encapsulated lead keel moulded as part of the hull, no bolts and no chance of this long fin keel coming off. Aft of the keel, we have a full skeg-hung rudder that supports the rudder from root to tip, great for protection and reinforcement. We also have a solid GRP laminate hull; we don’t use a foam-cored hull – we don’t need to save weight or add a possible point of failure on an ocean-crossing yacht where we don’t need to. Did you know, that below the waterline, we use clear gelcoat because we want to see there are no voids in the laminates, just to be 100% sure. We also fit water and fuel tankage low down, beneath the floor, contributing to the R42’s stability. On the subject of stability, who could forget the engine location? It’s not where it can disturb those sleeping in the aft cabins; it's low and central in the saloon. It keeps the engine weight centrally fore and Aft and above the keel, contributing to her excellent sea-kindly motion and stability. The location makes it easier to access for daily checks and gives all-around space for servicing – we have a ventilation system within the engine mounts to keep the engine cool, improving economy and extending the life of belts too. Today, you won’t find all these features on another sub-50-ft yacht in production. Why not? Put simply, other yachts aren’t designed for the sailing our owners undertake. Many R42 owners have crossed oceans, and some have sailed or are sailing the world. Some report that the boat is better at taking rough stuff than they are, while others enjoy 35-knot winds mid-ocean. Wherever you’d like to cruise in an R42, you’ll always know there’s more to her than her gorgeous looks. Rustler Yachts.

It is a special time of year for sailing enthusiasts, as the jewel in the Caribbean superyacht season sees an elite lineup converge on the beautiful backdrop of St Barths for the return of the Bucket! 🪣 While it is defined more by good-natured racing than all-out competition, the lineup at the Bucket is always fascinating—demonstrating what superyachts can be when visionary owners with a passion for yachting meet the world’s best designers and boat builders. These endless possibilities are reflected in the range of yachts involved, each with its own distinct personality, but all supremely designed—the absolute cream of the crop. Amongst this exclusive club, the vast majority opt for composite rigging from Future Fibres. Future Fibres is renowned for durability and reliability. An assurance that makes the world’s most popular composite rigging – #ECsix – as attractive to the IMOCA 60s that will take on the Vendée Globe this year, as it is to the yachts we’ll see in the Bucket this week. Future Fibres pushes aerodynamics to the extreme and maximises weight saving, with characteristics which bring benefits beyond the racecourse—delivering smoother, safer, more comfortable sailing. The best technologies empower their owners to have the experiences they envision. The Bucket is a rare showcase of the fact that some technologies let you do it all—smooth, luxurious cruising, and near grand prix performance when the time comes to really let loose! Most of the yachts in this year’s Bucket will be sailing with Future Fibres, but let’s take a look at a select few… Read more: https://lnkd.in/e7gkGvTi 📸 Atila Madrona #StBarthsBucket #Sailing #Yacht #LuxuryYacht #Rigging #Superyacht

Contemporary flybridge schooner SEA EAGLE in charter mode: the ultimate expression of personal freedom. Supersized sailing yachts: an attractive (and possibly even better) alternative to large motoryachts. Supersized sailing yachts offer the same enjoyment but are also much (more) fun while travelling from “A” to “B”. Also, they offer the stimulating experience of seeing the sails hoisted, catching the wind, and the slender bow cutting through the waves to pick up speed. Even those who are not keen on heeling angles, will be pleased to discover that new technologies exist to reduce lateral movement and heeling angle substantially. In addition to the thrill of sailing and the satisfaction of Royal Huisman’s bespoke quality, future owners will also enjoy the “green footprint” and the significant efficiency advantage of free propulsion power (the wind!). Last but not least, “energy-neutral”-mode will prove a much-appreciated feature: spinning the propellers to generate more than sufficient electrical power for all board systems, and for re-charging the batteries to enjoy “silent mode” while at anchor. For some, these features might sound like uncharted waters that require a lot more development, but not so for Royal Huisman.

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350... What comes after good? by John Curnow, Global Editor, SailWorldCruising.com Well if you get it right, then it's usually, great. Miss the mark, and the slide down and out the other side is not so glorious. Often leaves everyone with a, 'Well. That didn't work, now did it?' kind of feeling. Good thing then that Jeanneau's new Sun Odyssey 350 is all about the former, and none of the latter. "What really got my attention when sailing her was just how easily driven the hull is," added Condell. "Yes, you can go to town with performance sails, and I for one would love to see the Sun Odyssey 350 with a deck sweeper jib, and a fat head main (on cars). The power of the latter, especially off the breeze, would be demonstrable. I think it is fair to say one of the first owners may well carry out this exact transformation, especially if they want to upset the racing fraternity."

Electric propulsion is gaining significant traction in the mainstream yacht market, largely due to increasing customer demand. This shift towards electric yacht propulsion is prompting a reevaluation in the conventional use of diesel engines, particularly during motor sailing. Electric propulsion opens up new horizons and challenges traditional thinking in yacht design and operation. It offers distinct advantages in terms of efficiency, sustainability, and onboard comfort, revolutionizing the yachting experience. As this technology continues to evolve, it promises to reshape the future of recreational boating.

As passionate kite and wingfoiler I love this technology which makes us fly above the water. In sailing the whole system even gets more complex as the speeds are much higher and the efficiency of the foils is just mindblowing. A great technical article/interview from our YACHT Magazin editor Andreas Fritsch worth reading! #yachtmagazin #foiling #loyaltothefoil #sailing #innovation #technology #foil
