Zinfandel’s commissioning criteria was for a simple boat that the owners’ whole family could use and enjoy. This was achieved with a single engine, bow thruster for easy manoeuvrability and an open plan layout.

The saloon has a lounge - like feel and the interior cabinetry is finished in European Beech with Burr Madrona veneers.
