Zephyrus has been extensively restored and maintained to an exceptional standard, combining the elegance and pedigree of a classic 100-year-old racing yacht with thoughtful practical improvements for comfortable modern sailing. Her condition, provenance and level of care place her firmly among the best examples in the fleet.
Fresh from a comprehensive winter refit, she is offered fully prepared for the season with no outstanding works required — a genuine “step aboard and sail” classic.
Her quality and presentation have earned recognition within the class, including appearance in the Kathy Mansfield calendar and the award of the Mike Henry Trophy. Equally at home racing or cruising the Clyde, Zephyrus has proven herself a rewarding, capable and much-admired yacht.

Condition
The current owner has invested heavily in maintaining Zephyrus to a very high standard, with works carefully documented throughout ownership. She has never been maintained “to sell” — rather, continuously improved and properly cared for regardless of cost or time.
This is a yacht for someone seeking a genuine classic with pedigree, presence and integrity rather than a project requiring substantial further investment.

History & Documentation
Detailed restoration history and cruising articles are available through the Gareloch One Design Association website, documenting both the quality of the work undertaken and the yacht’s active life on the Clyde.
