Boat Details
Description
Zada
A high Spec Beneteau First 40 Full Race Version, designed by Bruce Farr Associates and featuring the desirable race hull, T-race keel and performance rig.
Presented in outstanding condition throughout, this yacht has benefited from professional ownership and has been meticulously maintained over the years with a clear focus on performance, reliability and presentation. ZADA was launched in August 2026 freshly antifouled and serviced. She is looking great and ready to go!
ZADA has been MCA coded for charter, but the owners have only allowed professionally skippered charters, mainly for corporate events. Her condition is very much like a privately owned yacht.
The yacht is equipped with a quality B&G electronics package and boasts an extensive sail inventory, making her well suited to both competitive racing and fast cruising. MCA Coded to Category 2; she is ready for offshore sailing and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a well-cared-for and thoughtfully upgraded First 40.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the specification, condition and level of ongoing maintenance invested in this impressive yacht.
VAT is recoverable within the purchase price for export out of the UK or by Vat qualified purchasers.
Part-Exchanges can be considered for those wishing to trade up from their current boat.
