Zephyr is the result of a tremendous design, built to exacting European standards, then methodically refined over 15 years by an experienced shipwright. There is little if anything left to improve upon in this boat. For the sailor who appreciates an easily driven and timeless hull shape, heavy duty construction and meticulous attention to detail, Zephyr stands apart.

The Ohlson 38 was designed by Einer Ohlson. Many of the 38s were built or finished in Ohlson’s home country of Sweden, while others like  Zephyr were built and finished at Tyler Yachts in England. When the design was first built in the late 1960s, the imperative was still to create a relatively narrow, easily driven hull that went through the water withe ease. While the rudder and keel are separated, the keel is long enough to provide excellent tracking and directional stability.

The cockpit is secure and comfortable, with storage in lockers and a large lazarette. The side decks are wide with excellent handholds all the way forward. It’s an easy deck to move around on, particularly in a bouncing sea.

Below decks, the interior is beautifully finished, particularly where the owner has rebuilt it. The forepeak, for instance, was gutted and rebuilt and is now a luxurious owner’s cabin. The shower stall to starboard was replaced by a counter and sink. The spaces, and storage, are clearly designed to work at sea.

The original Tyler construction is impressive, with substantial stringers running along the hull sides. Combined with the vinylester solid fiberglass layup of both the hull and decks, this makes the Ohlson 38 is an amazingly strong boat. The entire deck and hull have been thoroughly insulated.

Zephyr ’s owner has had a longstanding relationship with various Ohlson designs, racing and cruising them, dating back to the wooden 35-footers. Zephyr stands as both an outstanding example of craftsmanship and a vision of what a classic design can be. There isn’t a harbor in the world where  Zephyr  wouldn’t garner attention.

Interior Accommodations

Zephy r’s interior is inviting and cozy, with traditional carpentry defining the space. Starting forward is a comfortable V-berth with a fitted, spring mattress. The head is to port and a vanity to starboard, with plenty of storage and room to move around. The main cabin features a settee to starboard and dinette to port, which can extend to accommodate guests at the dinner table or be lowered to create a double berth. Storage is accessible and abundant. The navigation station is to starboard at the base of the companionway with a quarterberth extending aft. The galley is to port.

ZEPHYR Cruise Ship: Enjoying the New York Skyline from Harbor

The ZEPHYR is an elegant, huge cruise yacht, featuring three decks and two cash bars and soft plush seating. You can just sit down and relax for the ride or you can hang out on one of decks and photograph fascinated sites and monuments.

We made our way to the second deck and headed to the back of the boat where many others were gathered. My wife smiled with anticipation. “This is going to be fun, honey,” she said. “We’ll get to see the Statue of liberty.” I prepared my camera as we squeezed through the large crowd on the deck. There appeared to be people from every nationality, including adults and children. I expect most of us were waiting for an adventure of a lifetime.

Soon the ZEPHYR was underway. The guide introduced himself over the loudspeaker. “Welcome to the most significant cruise you’ll ever take. You will never be the same.” These words only increased our excitement and anticipation of the journey around the Hudson River. We held each other tighter as the cruise boat left the Pier 16, heading further into the Harbor. This was in fact, the most expensive and worthwhile anniversary that we had ever scheduled. And so far, we were enjoying every moment of it.

In the middle of the excitement, the clouds grew denser. A slight, cool wind caressed our faces as we stood at the back deck, watching the thick waves the cruiser made as it moved across the Hudson River. My wife, along with a few other women, pulled their jackets tighter around them. The damp, air appeared to be getting colder. We stood on the outer deck of the ZEPHYR. Many people had gone inside where a decent heat made the difference between shivering and relaxing.

The Majestic Skylines

As we approached the Manhattan Skyline, I grabbed my camera out of its bag and proceeded to take pictures. I snapped some quick pictures of the skyline as the boat moved along the river. The tall majestic buildings of the Manhattan Skyline just took your breath away. This was New York-the iconic city, the big apple that I had heard of all of my life. We were actually here. “Wow!” I never thought we would be having a New York experience, “said my wife, as she stared into my eyes. Since I was not an openly emotional person, I said the words that would always cover for my lack of emotional expressiveness. “It’s wonderful,” I said.

The guide was saying something about Manhattan, but we had missed it as I took a few snap shots of my wife learning against the bars on the ship deck. I could tell by the growing intensity of her shivering that she would abandon me for the inside warmth of the ZEPHYR, very soon. The positive take away of her departure would give me an opportunity to concentrate on my picture taking. The negative take away of the situation was that we would not get to experience the moment together. The Moment : to behold the magnificence of Lady Liberty together.

A slight drizzle had started when my wife left for the warmth and coziness of the inside deck. Only a few other people, including myself stood around on the outside deck. My first encounter with another person besides my wife came when a man tapped me on the back of my shoulder. He appeared to be thin, partially shaved Asian man, perhaps in late thirties. I couldn’t understand his speech well, but he was pointing at my camera and then at me. “Hi! Camera! Picture!” he said. He did this several times before I figured out what he was suggesting. He was asking me if I wanted him to take my picture as a tourist. Apparently, he knew those tourists who were alone might not have anyone to take pictures of them. So he was that guy who took snap shots of lone tourist. From the way he positioned me and took the picture, I could tell he was no rookie. He had been doing this for a while. I thanked him after he was done. First he stood there for a moment with what appeared to be a puzzling look on his face and then left. Later on I realized that he probably was waiting to be tipped a few dollars.

Beholding Lady Liberty: The Great Moment

After this unexpected encounter, time had seemingly accelerated. Events were happening so fast. I had to put my camera to work. I took consecutive pictures of the Manhattan and New Jersey skylines as the ZEPHYR roared across the Hudson River. I wanted to get as many picture of these buildings as possible, especially the Empire State Building. I figured that the more pictures I took, I would eventually create the perfect portfolio of the New York skyline. I also took pictures of Governor’s Island as well as other interesting dock activities along the harbor. Then the moment came.

I photographed Lady Liberty from all angles. I wanted to capture her in every way possible. Down in the bottom of the deck I knew my wife was as thrilled as I was. But by this time, the cold rain was beginning to take its toll on me. I was soaked by the continual drizzle. I sensed the slippery wet feel of my camera. Nevertheless, I was determined to stay. There were many more pictures to take.

Capture New York

Make sure to always take a camera on your New York cruise ship experience. The Pictures of this event will be priceless.

The Brooklyn Bridge

As I turned my focus from the activity of the Hudson River, I looked over my shoulder just in time to see that the ZEPHYR was approaching the Brooklyn Bridge.

It was a gigantic bridge, stretching across the river as far as I could see. I snapped pictures of it from both directions, even while the ship was under the belly of the bridge. I photographed the massive frames and the intricate shapes that made the bridge unique. I only had a little more time before the battery power of my camera became depleted. As the shipped turned around, I knew I had captured the essence New York. Because of the inclement weather, I could only hope the pictures would turn out decent enough to appreciate the experience on the Hudson.

Cold, soaked and wet, I met my wife down at the bottom deck. She sat talking to a friend she had met along the journey. “Hi honey!” said my wife. She introduced me to the Lady. “What a great experience,” the lady said. “Yes, it was indeed, “I said. “It was wonderful.” The three of us talked all the way back to the pier. The ride of the ZEPHYR had been a trans formative experience; one that would live in the repertoire of our anniversary memories forever.

Builder Description:

The C&C design group created this yacht for Mom, Dad and the legendary 2.2 kids

So they gave her an exceptionally long cabin trunk, with four fixed ports a skylight hatch opening hatch in the head as well as the oversized forward hatch.

Her dinette interior allows for relaxation below around a comfortable teak dining table. The nav station has been cleverly designed to accommodate a full sized chart, however the working surface folds away to maximize the space in the quarter berth

The galley with the microwave oven will serve the owner well while cruising. This boat, while outfitted with great sails and deck hardware still allows for the creature comforts such as, shore power and a deep cockpit.

Statue of Liberty Express - Zephyr Yacht Harbor Cruise

Cruise around downtown Manhattan on the comfortable Zephyr Yacht

Perhaps the most comfortable ship offering public sightseeing tours, the Statue of Liberty Express aboard the Zephyr Yacht offers a great one-hour tour of the New York Harbor . The Zephyr Yacht features comfortable seating both inside and out and a knowledgeable tour guide provides live commentary throughout the cruise. You'll also get a close-up view of the Statue of Liberty during the tour.

About Circle Line Downtown's Zephyr Yacht Harbor Cruise

Riding aboard the Zephyr Yacht is a great way to enjoy the New York Harbor, as well as to learn about New York City and get a sense of the City's geography and layout. The one-hour tour travels southwest from South Street Seaport to the World Financial Center and back, passing underneath the Brooklyn Bridge before returning to the Pier.

A live tour guide narrates throughout much of the tour through the ship's PA system, pointing out various attractions and landmarks, sharing New York City's rich history and even offering to give visitors tips and answer questions once the tour is complete. The Zephyr holds up to 600 passengers, has indoor and outdoor decks, two snack and beverage bars, very clean ​bathrooms and comfortable, plush seating. The Statue of Liberty Express sightseeing cruise is probably the best of the many one-hour cruises around Manhattan.

Helpful Tips for Circle Line Downtown's Zephyr Yacht Harbor Cruise

• Snacks and drinks (including a full bar) are available for sale on the boat.
• Well maintained bathrooms are located on the main floor of the Zephyr.
• Pictures are best taken from the upper decks, but you can best hear the narration from inside.
• Bring a sweater or jacket along for the ride. Even when the weather is warm, it will be breezy on deck and the air conditioning inside can make you chilly too.
• Don't forget your sunblock -- the breeze can make you feel deceivingly cool, but you can still get burned.

Detailed information.

Content Sections

Zephyr is a beautiful example of the highly regarded Catana brand. She has the very desirable 3 cabin Owner's Version layout and she is a factory upgraded Carbon Infusion model. The size of the Catana 42 is easily managed by a cruising couple or singlehanded sailor but still large enough to entertain guests. She sports daggerboards and a powerful sail plan for fantastic performance under sail. Zephyr is a proper blue water cruising catamaran that achieves an uncommon balance of performance and livability.

The Carbon Infusion designation means that the factory included extensive use of carbon fiber in her construction coupled with a resin infusion layup, which results in a lighter and stiffer boat. Catana is well known for their exceptional build quality, fantastic sailing performance, and comfortable accommodations.Most notable is the luxurious interior finish which is overlooked on many other performance-oriented catamaran brands. Catana is at the top of the list for any discerning catamaran sailor.

CONSTRUCTION Building process:

The hull mold is composed of three main parts with parting lines at the bottom junctions. Mold of the Platform and half-inner hulls is in one part to warranty the maximum of rigidity. The hull is built in Foam Sandwich infusion, with vinylester and Polyester resin. The structure is reinforced with monolithic areas, Twaron Impact process Aramid fiber and full carbon fiber areas like shroud chain plates, and horizontal stiffening spars. The deck has a white gelcoat finish. The deck is also made in Foam Sandwich infusion with monolithic / plywood reinforcements. Numerous areas are made in full carbon fiber: The roof and its stiffening, deck stiffening spars, mast foot area and mast pillar. Structural main bulkheads are made in infusion Foam/Carbon sandwich. To provide the best toughness, every opening (doors and technical holes) is integrated and reinforced during the infusion process.

Structural integrity

The hull/deck/bulkheads joint is glued and continuously laminated. Full carbon fiber lamination joint is applied for the main bulkheads and floor frames. The hull and deck are as solid as though they were cast in one piece, guarantying an outstanding strength and lifespan.

Sailing Zephyr

Welcome to Sailing Zephyr

If you like what we are doing and what to join the Zephyr family as we sail around the world, you can support our journey by becoming a Patron. You will get early access to our videos, exclusive content and goodies!

James & Nat

Who are we.

We are an adventurous couple from Australia who bought a sailboat to explore the amazing sites of the world. With zero clue on how to sail, we left our desk jobs, sold everything we had and bolted for Zephyr in the Caribbean. With your support, every week we will share our adventures, hilarious moments and amazing sights from the places we visit.  Along the way, we hope to inspire awareness in marine conservation through the wonderful people we meet and engage in a more sustainable way of living.

What type of boat?

Well that part is easy. Zephyr is a 2010 Beneteau Oceanis 43. She's the 3 cabins, 2 heads version with some great upgrades. The story of how we bought Zephyr and the journey she's gone through to becoming our home is much more interesting.

If your interested in knowing more about how Nat and I got Zephyr or you just  want to geek out over boat details, check out the Boat page . Full run down on everything from specs, kit and planned upgrades.

Check out the Class website for rules >>  Zephyr class rules

The Zephyr is a fully responsive, light on the helm, single-handed boat. While the majority of the fleet are wooden construction (over 300), the move to fibre glass construction was recent.

In 2020 Mackay Boats became the builder for the Class, applying the same knowledge and processes used to manufacture consistent, one-design Olympic Class yachts for the Zephyr Class.

Designed by Des Townsend, a New Zealand Yacht Designer icon, in 1956, the Zephyr  has had seven builders over its 60 years of life, with MacKay Boats taking over the Zephyr’s hull construction in 2020. These boats are known as the #700 series.

Racing is highly competitive in this class which sees an average of 80 entries at its New Zealand National Championships.

The Hull and Deck

The hull is built from an epoxy laminate with a PVC foam core which are similar materials used in the construction of the 49ers. The laminate is designed to replicate the structure of the existing wooden boats.

The boat comes with all controls fitted, where the best fittings available are used for each function.

How do I purchase a Zephyr?

Zephyr’s must be purchased through the class association.

Can Mackay's customise the fitout?

The boat has a standard fit-out with a couple of options available.

For a fully custom fit-out you have the choice of buying the bare hull and then fitting it out yourself.

Can I have a different colour boat?

Grey is the standard colour. A limited range of other colours are available as an upgrade option. Special colour request are only available when a new batch of boats is being built.

Can I buy just the hull?

Yes. Bare hull comes with maststep, vang tang, venturis and chainplates only fitted.

Where do I buy sails from?

Sails are available through the Class Association

Where do I buy a mast and boom from?

Spars are available through the Class Association
