Zebra
2000, W-Class / Rockport Marine, W-46 Sloop
Zebra
Zebra is one of those rare yachts that stops you in your tracks. A W-Class W-46 built in the Spirit of Tradition, she is at once a love letter to the golden age of yacht design and a thoroughly modern performance sailboat — and she wears both identities beautifully.
Designed by Bob Stephens and built by Rockport Marine in Rockport, Maine, in 2000, Zebra’s lines speak for themselves. Long, sweeping overhangs fore and aft, a classic deck layout, and elegant house profiles echo the iconic cruising and racing yachts of a bygone era. Yet look below the waterline and aloft, and the picture shifts: modern foil shapes deliver the kind of performance that turns heads on the race course, while a carbon-fiber rig keeps weight low and responsiveness high. Zebra is as quick as she is graceful.
Whether you're slipping away for a lively afternoon on the water, lining up at the start of a club race, or settling in for a comfortable weekend cruise, Zebra rises to the occasion.
