The Zeston 36 was designed by Eddy Buizen and Joe Adams to be a serious offshore cruising yacht which would perform well under both sail or motor. They succeeded and the 36 is a great sailing boat with a good turn of speed. The hull shape, with its wide stern section, lets it motor comfortably in all conditions unlike many other yachts. The 36 is sea kindly and can be easily sailed short handed. I have done many miles solo. This Zeston 36 has been regularly serviced and has been upgraded and refitted over the past 4 Years. All systems have either been serviced, replaced, upgraded or new items fitted. She has completed 3 trips North to the Whitsundays and Lady Elliot Island since 2021 and is ready to go again. New rigging was completed in 2021 and new Main and Genoa in 2022. The Volvo 2003T 43 HP diesel is in top running condition and has been refurbished in the past 4 years. New internal upholstery and external covers were completed in 2021-2022 and much much more! see listing below. This Zeston 36 is one of the best examples of its class, if not the best!
