Zuanelli and Felci’s new Z36 (11m) aka three boats in one

Construction of the Z36 (11.00 x 3.74 m), born from the partnership of Cantiere Zuanelli and Felci Yacht Design, has begun.

What boat is the Z36

The Z36 is a product conceived, designed and built with passion, imagined and lived in every detail, and capable of gathering in itself the experience of two realities, Cantiere Zuanelli and Felci Yacht Design, which have distinguished themselves to date both for the quality of their work and for the concreteness and seriousness of their way of operating.

Design and construction of the Z36 focused on aspects of safety, ease of handling, and performance in order to provide the ability to sail in all conditions much more so than with a motor.

Hull, appendages, sail plan

The hull, characterized by rather large volumes thanks to an important but not extreme maximum beam, very taut lines and great stability of form, was created to offer not only absolute performance but also high sailing averages. The appendages and sail plan are configured in this spirit to offer maximum control and ease of handling at all times.

The fin, with a maximum draft of 2 meters, made of steel with a lead end torpedo and assembled with a proven rebate plate system and oversized stays, offers transverse stability and optimum lift. The double-bladed wheelhouse and a sail plan that is not excessive, but very flexible in terms of use, are the package that offers the best during long sailings.

The construction

The construction, made from female mold infused with epoxy resin and fiberglass with localized carbon fiber reinforcements, is as reliable, durable and lightweight as can be created with current technologies.
To meet the different needs of owners, who always have a very personal view on their own way of sailing, the Z36 can be customized by choosing from a variety of optional extras.

Z36 – One boat, three versions

In addition to being able to modulate them as desired, the shipyard offers three predefined set-ups, best designed and expertly calibrated: SPORT, GRAN TURISMO and EXPLORER.

Z36 SPORT, a starting point for those approaching the Z36, offering everything needed for sailing and cruising, essential and efficient can also be customized later.
