If ocean racing is on your bucket list, look no further than the Reichel/Pugh 55, Zvi (ex Crossfire and Rima 2). Zvi is an optimized, purpose-driven design by the best in the business - a collaboration effort between Reichel/Pugh, Tony Beale & David Oliver, along with Greg Stewart of Nelson Marek Yacht Design and Justin Ferris of Doyle Sails New Zeland, built in Australia by McConaghy Yachts.
Zvi is a near sistership to the Australian racer Wedgetail (ex Yendys), built just months before. The design brief called for a powerful and fast IRC design capable of competing against Transpac 52s inshore buoy racing, yet strong enough to handle the most grueling offshore events. With a greater focus on offshore racing, interior volume and headroom were high on the list priorities. Compared to a TP52, Zvi offers considerable interior living space, full-size bunks, a complete and proper nav station, and far greater hull and deck strength. Her high modulus carbon rig and composite C6 rigging adds greatly to the stability of this design. This is a powerful design capable of strong upwind performance in the 9+ knot range and even more exciting downwind rides at well over 20 knots.
Truly turnkey, rating optimized (ORC and ORR), and set to race across the Pacific Ocean in 2023, this immaculate ocean racer is immediately available and presents an excellent opportunity for the right crew to pick up where the current owners are leaving off. Zvi's stellar performance and strong showing in the 2022 Pacific Cup is a testament to the care, attention, and preparation she has received in recent years. A second to finish (elapsed time: 7 days, 13:35:02) behind line honors winning Pyewacket (modified Volvo 70) was a highlight for her owner and crew. Zvi is fully primed for another ocean crossing and the registration deadline for the 2023 Transpac is March 1, 2023 (https://transpacyc.com/race-info/2023-race-info). The 52nd edition of this legendary 2,225-mile ocean race from Los Angeles, California to Honolulu, Hawaii starts in late June.
Zvi underwent a extensive refit during the winter of 2020/2021 following her current owner's purchase in August 2020. No part or system onboard was left untouched. Extensive vessel improvements and upgrades were completed with no expense spared. Invoices from CSR Marine and Doyle Sails are available.
Zvi's equipment list includes a shipping container and custom shipping cradle. A Ford Transit team van with racks, tube and box carrier can be available separately.
Highlights of the recent refits include:

Extensive optimization (Greg Stewart - Nelson Marek Yacht Design, Tony Beale & David Oliver - Rechiel/Pugh Yacht Design and Justin Ferris - Doyle Sails New Zealand) refit after the current Owners purchase in August 2020.
No part or system onboard the renamed “ZVI” was left untouched. Lots and lots of vessel improvements, upgrades and bonus, No shortcuts or expenses were ever spared.
Zvi was built using Pre-Preg carbon fiber with Nomex core and high-density PVC foam core in the slamming areas. The construction of this yacht was focused around extensive offshore sailing; durability was of paramount concern. The composite materials utilized in construction are nearly twice that of a Med Cup TP52. Zvi features large beam structural supports throughout the hull and deck. This boat was engineered to handle the toughest environments, with full structural engineering provided by SP Systems. In 2012 Reichel Pugh designed a new fabricated steel keel fin, increasing the draft nearly 2'. The fin was moved aft slightly to improve balance. The keel bulb was re-milled to make it smaller and lighter and the bulb was shifted forward on the keel fin to maintain fore and aft trim. This reduced the displacement by about 2,000 lbs. allowing the boat to sit higher on the waterline while maintain roughly the same.
Designed for offshore racing, Zvi has a comfortable race boat interior with sufficient room and storage for Ocean Racing.
The galley is set to starboard with a large refrigerated ice-chest to port, with port and starboard storage lockers just above. A large sink is on center-line atop the engine box and under the companionway.
The main salon features port and starboard upper and lower hinged bunks with storage below and soft storage zipper bags above.
Forward there is a large enclosed marine head to starboard with line storage to port. The bow section is open for sail storage and lined with loops for foul weather gear / Life-sling storage.
Aft of the companionway, port and starboard are additional upper and lower hinged bunks with storage under. The Navigation Station is forward facing aft on center-line under the cockpit. Storage is provided under the hard bunks with additional storage lockers and bins.
