The full list for all items in each of the above categories is much too vast to completely enumerate here. This listing will be updated as new items come to mind.


(1) The vessel described above had it's "keel laid" in 2000, but its commissioning, outfitting, and technical redesign took place over the next 8 years to be of the absolute highest quality and state of the art. No compromise on quality was taken anywhere whatsever. Every possible future problem was designed out to the utmost possibility. The vessel is in perfect condition with only 370 engine hours. The vessel is completely ready for an owner that plans to put it into full, productive, worldwide sail away use. Included, is an assortment of should-have new spare parts. There has not been a new vessel shown the attention to detail during initial outfitting as this one. It will outshine, outperform, and be more reliable than any dealer supplied vessel, bar none, including an "equivalent" 473, 49, or smaller current 46. It truly is one of a kind.

Much more in details and information is available to those on an actual serious search. An on-site walk thru will amaze even the seasoned sailor. The full attention to detail and quality is impossible to be appreciated or conveyed until the on-site visit is performed. If requested, upon receipt of a non-refundable deposit, a test sail will be provided. For any additional details, contact John at 321-264-3243 or via email at mailbox02 @ zrd.com The vessel is currently located in Titusville, Florida on the ICW at MM-878.

If you are looking for a base boat or do not desire a blue water ready vessel, with reliable systems, multiple back ups, and ease of use, this will not be the correct vessel for you. If you use the bottom up approach instead of a valuable realistic search, a waste of time and effort will certainly be realized. For a truly dedicated sailor that knows what is required, correctly and enjoyably outfitted, this is your dream vessel. It is available to be sailed away today. For those that may possibly already have some of the items and spares (such as dingy, outboard, pumps, ...) that are included, arrangements may be made for a price adjustment. Your first step in not missing this extremely valuable opportunity is a phone call. With the current favorable exchange rate, this vessel becomes a bargain should anyone desire to sail it to their homeport outside of the US.

Price, Price, Price. Hopefully, you have read everything above first. If all you are looking for is a base boat, as described in the paragraph above, you may close this tab now. For those that are serious, ALL of the above items are included for the remarkable price of $299,000 USD. With some items you may not need (dingy, ...) or desire (spares) removed the price may be as low as $279,000 USD. If you keep removing items, you will end up with a vessel in great condition with options included that are not found on former charter vessels (air conditioning, electronics, ...) and without the wear and tear, but some seriously recommended upgrades removed (High output 2nd Alternator system, Genset, ...) priced at $263,425 USD. If you are considering the last option, I suggest this is probably not the vessel for you.

Unlike any other company, ZRD is not shy to offer the details of this vessel in good faith. We guarantee and warrant the accuracy of the information provided. A buyer, upon reaching a definite decision on any vessel, should always investigate such details that he would desire validated.
