“After 5 years of owning Zero², the 1800SSS and after an awesome sail this morning I just wanted to say thanks to Jeff Schionning and the Schionning Team for designing such a beautiful boat.
This boat never ceases to amaze me.
We sailed the 30 odd miles across to lady Musgrave island from the mainland this morning, and as usual started in 10 knots of light breeze. We soon had 15knots on a shy reach with full main and self tacking jib.
This gave us about 20 knots apparent and an SOG of between 13 to 18 knots.
When we saw 28 knots apparent and 20 knots SOG I decided it was well time to put in a double reef. Even then we were still hitting 15 knots on occasion.
At no stage did Zero feel pushed and most of the above was easily handled by the auto pilot.
Everyone had a smile on their faces and the 1.5 metre swell had water going everywhere , only once or twice did we feel a bit of a slap under the bridge deck.
We regularly have people on other cats come up when we arrive saying they thought it was a power boat coming up behind them.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face.”
