Zeelander’s precise moulding process leaves almost no requirement for fairing, so the hull has already moved smoothly through the paint booth. The Zeelander 8’s voluptuous curves and elegant hull lines have benefitted from a careful spray in Porsche rhodium silver, with contrasting orange and flag blue lines at the waterline. It is 79ft of flawless, gleaming finish.
The sleek superstructure, which creates the volume for a sophisticated social space at main deck level, has also been painted in pearl white. This first Zeelander 8 will have a custom main deck salon, providing unique relaxing and dining opportunities for an experienced owner. Of course, the helm position also takes a privileged position in this layout, with total clarity of view through a mullion-free windscreen and hand-stitched leather seating.
By the time the yacht is loaded onto a transporter bound for the south of France, it will represent Zeelander’s boatbuilding capabilities: An immense amount of dedicated craftsmanship, dozens of different disciplines from engineering to design and above all, a singular vision of the purity of the yachting experience.
