Built to go further.

The thinking, the lineage, and the intent behind an ocean-going yacht.
The intent
ZORYA carries within her the design thinking that made Finot’s offshore yachts so distinctive. She was conceived as an ocean-going yacht — eighteen metres of aluminium drawn for extended voyaging and for sailing with a reduced crew.
Her scale was chosen deliberately: large enough to carry what a long passage needs, and to live aboard with real autonomy, yet kept in a direct relationship between sailor, yacht and sea. She is a yacht you handle, not merely occupy.
Performance through hull shape, stability and balance.
A moment in design

ZORYA belongs to a period when the lessons of offshore racing were reshaping how ocean-going yachts were drawn — how a hull should be shaped, how it should carry its power, and how it should behave far from shore.

That thinking treated behaviour under sail as the point, not the postscript. It is why ZORYA still reads as purposeful the moment you see her: good naval architecture remains good naval architecture, and hers has not dated.
