Summary:
Used 1937
Location:
Smithtown, NY
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.

New Listing This is a preliminary presentation of a New Listing with fuller specifications to follow. History Impeccable provenance in design, build and ownership would always have guaranteed ZAIDA III a special place in American yachting history, but it was her Second World War activities while on anti-submarine patrol on the US east coast that really made her a legend in her own lifetime. ZAIDA III was John G Alden’s second design for Gosport, England-born, City. Still available at ListedBuy!
