BROKERS COMMENTS 

ZERLINA is a luxuriously furnished and equipped family motor ketch. She has two separate dining areas to suit every occasion, the covered aft deck with table and chairs and the separate more formal saloon. She cruises economically at nine knots, and is stabilised for ultimate comfort 

HISTORY 

Built at the famous Dagless shipyard at Wisbech on the Fens, ZERLINA was to spend most of her life in the blue waters of the Mediterranean. She has been carefully looked after by discerning owners, returning to the UK in 1984, a 1500 mile voyage in the hands of a professional and careful skipper.

In 1985 she was given a major and comprehensive interior refit - from stem to stern and without much concern for cost.

Her commissioning owner deceased, she has had only two careful ownerships since with the result that the whole interior of the yacht and its comprehensive domestic equipment has been maintained in excellent condition.

Her current owner undertook further refitting in 1994, information on which is in the relevant section below.
