The Zefira is a modern sailing yacht, which we spotted in Boothbay Harbor (ME) USA. A real beauty of a boat. We caught eye of her, of this beautiful boat, sailing into Boothbay Harbor, Maine (USA) back in early August of 2012. Then we were on the Harbor Princess getting a tour of the huge harbor in Boothbay Harbor, full of marine life, a sea in it's own right really. The next day we chartered a fishing boat and captain Andrew jumped on the chance to motor alongside this 163 foot, smoked glass modern yacht. Just look at her, flying the Maltese flag, with the George Cross (I thought they were Templars coming into port!). The Fishing Boat we were on with Captain Andrew: 'Miss Boothbay' via Balmy Day Cruises: http://www.balmydayscruises.com/fishing/boat.shtml The Zefira's web page has this to say about their modern sailing yacht - Zefira Experienced european owners brought together a top team of Dubois, Fitzroy and Tessier to produce their dream yacht: sleek, sophisticated and impressive under sail and Exterior This 49.7m fast cruising sloop is the largest sloop Dubois Naval Architects has designed without a flybridge. She is of aluminium construction with a bulb keel and a maximum beam of 9.95m Source: http://www.syzefira.com We over at Markzware have a search tool for desktop publishing file formats called PageZephyr. I wonder if Zefira is derived from zephyr, which means a light westerly wind. A favorable west wind for sailors! The Zefira won two awards at ShowBoats Design Awards 2011 and no wonder. This sailing yacht is a jaw dropper. I was not sure if it was the CIA, Navy or business tycoon sailing into Boothbay Harbor. Her mast towers into the air and at night, was very visible above the tranquil setting of the main down town of Boothbay Harbor. Also, Zefira wins at World Superyacht Awards 2011 as the: Sailing Yacht of the Year! Zefira - modern sailing yacht in Boothbay Harbor, Main on her USA tour.
