Morpheus was designed by Carl Schumacher, built by Davie Norris Boatbuilders in New Zealand and launched in 2002. She spent her first 18 months cruising the South Pacific before reaching her home port of San Francisco. Since that time, Morpheus has been raced and cruised extensively. This blog will document her ongoing adventures.
I wonder if someone out there could use google for me and look her up???
My guess is that she's about 150' long, and has a pretty interesting story!
thanks,

ReplyDelete“Zefira, a magnificent, lean aluminium and carbon 50 metre yacht. A project in which, together with our designers, we put our heart” the owner
ReplyDeleteExperienced european owners brought together a top team of Dubois, Fitzroy and Tessier to produce their dream yacht: sleek, sophisticated and impressive under sail.
This 49.7m fast cruising sloop is the largest sloop Dubois Naval Architects has designed without a flybridge, a decision that was driven by the owners for stylistic reasons. They wanted long, lean and clean lines. She is of aluminium construction with a bulb keel and a maximum beam of 9.95m.
The push for a single level between bridge, saloon and cockpit, combined with ultra-sleek aesthetics, nudged the Dubois design team into new territory. “To get
good visibility from the helmstations we had to work hard to lower the accommodation as much as possible, while keeping an open feeling” Malcolm McKeon of Dubois.
The interior, styled and drawn by Remi Tessier, features a combination of bleached timbers and white leather which results in clean modern lines and provides bright comfortable living areas.
Zefira is apparently available for private charter, as it is featured on Charter World.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that by now, Deb may need a boat of her own for a few weeks. Let me know if she needs me to check on rates.
