 ZEELANDER Z44

Even before you board a Z44 you’ll know that you are in the presence of something special due to the onlookers admiring her smooth curves and classic lines. When you see a Zeelander on the water you recognize it instantly; a Z44 cannot be confused with any other boat.

The Z44 is the very definition of good taste and traditional craftsmanship, combined with all the technical features the modern world can offer.

The superstructure design revolves around a wealth of curves, including the aft wall, trimming, and panels, all of which require some 42 different molds. Each window in the hull is double-curved, to follow the curved line of the hull and the same applies to the stainless steel railing, which doubles up as cleats. These are oval in shape and have cast end pieces and legs.

Beautifully proportioned, her high bow provides protection against waves in high sea states while double chines deflect waves and add to the dryness of the decks. The performance on open seas is significant and the intelligent design prevents slamming in waves.
