Is Zephyr Australia's oldest yacht?

A registration project run by the National Maritime Museum may have confirmed the seniority of a sturdy South Australian cutter. Phoenix Arrien reports:

WE KNOW they certainly don’t make ‘em like they used to, but how long have they been making the yachts we now treasure as classics’ The newly launched Australian Historic Vessel Register, a clearing house for information about local boats built before 1970 is helping to answer that question. On current information, they believe the honour of being recognised as 'Australia's oldest yacht' might belong to Zephyr, a sturdy gaff cutter launched in 1873.

The historic yacht certainly has a rich and varied past. She is currently in superb condition – a tribute to 19th Century craftsmanship and the dedication and pride of 21st Century classic enthusiasts.

Zephyr's first owner was a notable identity in the South Australian colony, Supreme Court Judge Sir William Henry Bundy. ‘The Judge’, who was was also a state MP, commissioned Zephyr as a sea-going cutter of 22 tons. He wanted a boat in which “three or four companions could be comfortably entertained”. She was designed by William Taylor and built in huon pine by Robert Playfair in Adelaide. Another local craftsman, William Russell, made the sails.

The Judge learned to sail on Zephyr and became one of Australia’s great cruising yachtsmen, eventually writing a book of his sailing memories, including his special fondness for Zephyr. The book also featured Port Lincoln and the town subsequently became the terminus for South Australia’s largest annual yachting event, the Adelaide – Port Lincoln Week. At the time of launching, the Adelaide Observer newspaper described Zephyr as having “Huon pine for planking and Kauri Pine for the deck, elm bent timbers and gum floors every four feet of her length. Cemented inside as high as the light water-line ‘ copper and brass are the only metals used ‘ the hull had a great rise of floor and a fine entry, but was filled out above the waterline to provide buoyancy in heavy seas. The upright stem and the long overhanging taffrail and square stern were thoroughly approved of in a yacht of this size, although some sailors despised the square stern.”

The newspaper reported Zephyr’s launch at Port Adelaide on 25 August 1873 in great detail. “There were fair ladies and brave men present – the horny handed sons of toil, members of Parliament and members of the press, sea captains in full commission and sea captains who had long given up the idea.

“The band played 'Rule Britannia'. The yacht lay on her ways like a lady adorned for a ball. Garlands and wreaths of flowers decorated each end. In our colony matters of this kind should be treated as they really deserve.”

To have a boat still afloat that began its life in such a splendid way is a treasure of yachting history.

Bundy, who was also the Commodore of the yacht club, responded to the toasts by saying that there was no sport dearer to his heart. “The recreation of yachting is a health-giving one and therefore to be greatly preferred to the many amusements in the pursuit of which night was often turned into day.” This sentiment was greeted by “prolonged cheering”.

The Judge cruised and raced Zephyr until selling her to a Mr R. Honey who succeeded him as Commodore of the SAYC in 1885. Honey put the vessel into racing trim by adding more lead to her keel and increasing the sail area.

By 1893 Zephyr’s racing days were over and she was registered as a fishing boat. This was the toughest part of her career. For the better part of a century she worked the treacherous waters around Kangaroo Island. From 1902 the yacht was owned by William Russell, her original sailmaker. Then records of her ownership peter out until the mid 1980’s when Zephyr turned up in Hobart.

Her current owner, James Madigan, fell in love with the cutter in 1993 and she currently lives in Victoria’s Melbourne Docklands. James lives in America, but Melbourne locals Stephen Majernik and Vic O’Driscol, along with a band of enthusiasts, sail and care for the boat. They enjoy the support of Melbourne Docklands and Greg Blunt from C. Blunt Boat Builders.

Majernik recently sailed Zephr on a four week circumnavigation of Tasmania including a visit to the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart. He explains that the yacht is not in its original condition.

“Zephyr has been through a few different lives. She has been run aground, replanked, refastened and had her decks raised. She used to have a top mast and now has a pole mast. The bowsprit is shorter but the keel is original. When the vessel was originally built she looked a bit different, so the old girl has had a few facelifts.

The owner has considered restoring her to the original sail plan and rigging, but this would be an expensive project.

The claim that Zephyr is Australia's 'oldest' yacht is often challenged. David Payne, who runs the historic register for the National Maritime Museum, believes that a handful of other craft are within reach, including Akarana, a cutter that raced in the Australian Centennial races of 1888. (That yacht can be seen at the Museum's marina in Sydney.)

‘I am not aware of any other boat older then Zephyr, though I am hoping that the new Australian Register of Historic Vessels (ARHV) will confirm this by attracting registrations for any older boat from, say, somewhere like Tasmania.

‘The oldest boat on the Historic Register is currently the Port Fairy Life Boat dating from 1857. It was manned by local fisherman and used to help sailors in trouble in the treacherous waters off the western Victorian coast.’

Another yacht that has emerged as a contender for the honour of being our oldest yacht is Kelpie, reputedly designed and built in 1884. ‘It’s a deep keel gaff cutter and it is old,’ confirms Payne. ‘Kelpie is often claimed to be a Fife design and to have been launched in 1884, then stored and relaunched in 1893 or thereabouts. But a newspaper article I came across from the period suggests it was designed and built in Sydney, and launched in 1893.

So Zephyr certainly seems to have a strong claim on being the oldest. These veteran yachts provide a framework for understanding our modern vessels, as well as a direct connection to this history of Australia's yachting culture. We should be glad that their sails are still catching the breeze, after more than 100 years.

The Zephyr team would welcome any additional information about her history and are also seeking support to help keep her ‘afloat’. Those in a position to help should contact Stephen on 0425 797 480 or email to [email protected]

Is your yacht more than 35 years old, a rare or significant vessel, have important connections with a community,significant people or events’

The Australian National Maritime Museum, in association with the Sydney Heritage Fleet, is encouraging the owners of old boats to register on the ‘Australian Register of Historic Vessels'. This scheme will help conserve our maritime heritage by assembling a broad The Register is available as a free digital database on the Australian National Maritime Museum’s website at www.anmm.gov.au/arhv.

The Register already lists more than 100 vessels, ranging from an early Australian surfboard and an indigenous one-person fishing raft to a Murray River paddle steamer, a Newcastle collier and a former Royal Australian Navy destroyer.

Statue of Liberty Express - Zephyr Yacht Harbor Cruise

Cruise around downtown Manhattan on the comfortable Zephyr Yacht

Perhaps the most comfortable ship offering public sightseeing tours, the Statue of Liberty Express aboard the Zephyr Yacht offers a great one-hour tour of the New York Harbor . The Zephyr Yacht features comfortable seating both inside and out and a knowledgeable tour guide provides live commentary throughout the cruise. You'll also get a close-up view of the Statue of Liberty during the tour.

About Circle Line Downtown's Zephyr Yacht Harbor Cruise

Riding aboard the Zephyr Yacht is a great way to enjoy the New York Harbor, as well as to learn about New York City and get a sense of the City's geography and layout. The one-hour tour travels southwest from South Street Seaport to the World Financial Center and back, passing underneath the Brooklyn Bridge before returning to the Pier.

A live tour guide narrates throughout much of the tour through the ship's PA system, pointing out various attractions and landmarks, sharing New York City's rich history and even offering to give visitors tips and answer questions once the tour is complete. The Zephyr holds up to 600 passengers, has indoor and outdoor decks, two snack and beverage bars, very clean ​bathrooms and comfortable, plush seating. The Statue of Liberty Express sightseeing cruise is probably the best of the many one-hour cruises around Manhattan.

Helpful Tips for Circle Line Downtown's Zephyr Yacht Harbor Cruise

• Snacks and drinks (including a full bar) are available for sale on the boat.
• Well maintained bathrooms are located on the main floor of the Zephyr.
• Pictures are best taken from the upper decks, but you can best hear the narration from inside.
• Bring a sweater or jacket along for the ride. Even when the weather is warm, it will be breezy on deck and the air conditioning inside can make you chilly too.
• Don't forget your sunblock -- the breeze can make you feel deceivingly cool, but you can still get burned.

Contact Us For More Information

Detailed information.

Content Sections

Zephyr is a beautiful example of the highly regarded Catana brand. She has the very desirable 3 cabin Owner's Version layout and she is a factory upgraded Carbon Infusion model. The size of the Catana 42 is easily managed by a cruising couple or singlehanded sailor but still large enough to entertain guests. She sports daggerboards and a powerful sail plan for fantastic performance under sail. Zephyr is a proper blue water cruising catamaran that achieves an uncommon balance of performance and livability.

The Carbon Infusion designation means that the factory included extensive use of carbon fiber in her construction coupled with a resin infusion layup, which results in a lighter and stiffer boat. Catana is well known for their exceptional build quality, fantastic sailing performance, and comfortable accommodations.Most notable is the luxurious interior finish which is overlooked on many other performance-oriented catamaran brands. Catana is at the top of the list for any discerning catamaran sailor.

• Panda 5000iPMS Generator - 1440 hours

CONSTRUCTION Building process:

The hull mold is composed of three main parts with parting lines at the bottom junctions. Mold of the Platform and half-inner hulls is in one part to warranty the maximum of rigidity. The hull is built in Foam Sandwich infusion, with vinylester and Polyester resin. The structure is reinforced with monolithic areas, Twaron Impact process Aramid fiber and full carbon fiber areas like shroud chain plates, and horizontal stiffening spars. The deck has a white gelcoat finish. The deck is also made in Foam Sandwich infusion with monolithic / plywood reinforcements. Numerous areas are made in full carbon fiber: The roof and its stiffening, deck stiffening spars, mast foot area and mast pillar. Structural main bulkheads are made in infusion Foam/Carbon sandwich. To provide the best toughness, every opening (doors and technical holes) is integrated and reinforced during the infusion process.

Structural integrity

The hull/deck/bulkheads joint is glued and continuously laminated. Full carbon fiber lamination joint is applied for the main bulkheads and floor frames. The hull and deck are as solid as though they were cast in one piece, guarantying an outstanding strength and lifespan.

Windy 31 Zonda, ZEPHYR

Windy, Windy 31 Zonda Built 2012 / £169,950, VAT paid

Broker’s Comments

Since she first hit the water in 2011, the Windy 31 Zonda has built an awesome reputation for her unparalleled ability on the water, clever design, and stunning good looks. Reviewed by Motor Boats Monthly as the “best hull we’ve ever tested,” she was awarded the accolade of 2012 Motor Boat of the Year. “ZEPHYR” has been very well maintained since new, is highly specified, and well presented. Equipped with Eberspacher heating and autopilot, she is a true year-round performance sports-boat, and a 2014 Motor Boats Monthly Owner’s report on this actual boat is available upon request.

Owner’s Comments

Our time on board ZEPHYR has been a privilege. From our base on the River Dart, we have explored the beautiful South Devon coastline together. With her sleek lines, she always turns heads wherever we go. Whether accelerating beyond the harbor limits at full speed on the way to an isolated cove to drop anchor or cruising serenely up the River Dart to Totnes, she has always brought a smile to our faces and guaranteed wonderful memories.

Our Neighborhood

Plan your trip, welcome to fisherman’s wharf.

The Historic Fisherman’s Wharf District of San Francisco is home to Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, Anchorage Square, the National Maritime Museum, Historic Hyde Street Pier, breathtaking views and so much more.

With more waterfront views than almost any other hotel in San Francisco, the “ship-yard chic” themed Hotel Zephyr is right in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf.

The Story of Hotel Zephyr

Hotel Zephyr opened in the summer of 2015 in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf.

Our “ship-yard chic” feel pays perfect homage to the neighborhood, while bringing a totally new dimension to this unique part of town. Designed using materials such as recycled cargo containers and upcycled nautical goods, Hotel Zephyr is recognized for its unique, bold and distinctive style.

Each of our 361 stylish guest quarters give the experience of staying in a captain’s suite – where the very best accommodations onboard offer vistas of San Francisco Bay and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.

One of the most visited neighborhoods, San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf has earned its popularity thanks to one thing more than any other; a wide array of restaurants, right on the water, serving up fresh-from-the-ocean seafood.

Hotel Zephyr is the quintessential place to begin your Fisherman’s Wharf – San Francisco experience. The ideal spot for shopping, dining, nightlife and great views. We provide the perfect setting to play, relax – or steam ahead to adventure.

Discover San Francisco, one of the great cities of the world,  by taking a double decker bus tour of the city, rent a bicycle, hop on a cable car or take a Segway tour of Fisherman’s Wharf.  Let our on-site concierge help you plan your activities and adventures.
