Design 11121 - Zurn 52

Fri, 05/03/2013 - 23:32 -- bartlett

This 52-foot concept is designed as an offshore capable fast cruiser for a couple, couple with guests, or small family. The perfectly proportioned sweeping sheer is a Zurn trademark and provides for excellent, dry performance through waves. Her large main and small jib will make singlehanded sailing easy and with the optional self-tacking jib make beating upwind into a 15-knot breeze through a narrow bay a simple, fun exercise with each tack requiring only the turn of the wheel. The retractable sprit shown here allows for incredible offwind speed with a large asymmetrical spinnaker flying from the extended pole. The dual helm layout and low coachroof provide exceptional driver visibility from either the weather or leeward helm stations. Additionally passage aft to the opening transom is unencumbered by a central helm location and the very large wheel it would necessitate. All sheets are lead to the helm stations adding to the 52’s shorthanded sailing prowess.

Down below the 52 is set up for two couples with a large forward cabin with pullman double and its own head with separate shower in the bow. Aft and to starboard is a large, double-berth quarter cabin. The galley can be arranged as a super secure L-shape with settee forward, or the galley can be along the starboard side, with a larger settee across to port. The second head, aft to port, would be the guest/day head and would work exceptionally well as a wet hanging locker when conditions demand. 

This 52-foot design can go in many directions with interior design and deck layout. The sea-kindly hull will provide excellent speed under sail and under power. She’ll be easily driven keeping rig loads to a minimum and under power provide excellent fuel economy. Zurn Yacht Design prides itself on working in tight unity with the customer to create the perfect boat for him or her. We listen long and hard before moving forward together through the design and build process.
