Zend'O is a one-owner, custom Shuttleworth Ocean Cheetah 37 that was adored by her owners, cruised as a liveaboard, and made many fond memories for them. Her owners commissioned her and she was laid down in 1998 by SN Composites. The custom build and layout was completed and sailed off for adventure in 2001. Now, she is ready to make memories as your next base of adventure! The comfortable and bright salon features a layout that balances space and safety. The galley is clean and functional with ample storage. Her owners barely used her engines and her solar array, wind generator, and watermaker allow for self-sufficiency away from the dock. Zend'O does have some room for improvement, specifically to have her repainted and to address delamination of her mast step. These factors have already been considered in her asking price. This is a solid cruising catamaran, and a great value.
