1996 Jeanneau 51.1 — Zazu

ZaZu has had two previous owners and began her cruising life in Florida. Never chartered and always well cared for, she is easily handled by a couple, with her three Lewmar electric winches all accessible from the well-protected cockpit with bimini and dodger.

A substantial cockpit table and pushpit-mounted barbecue allow for outdoor dining.

The spacious and safe deck area allows for safe offshore passage making, while her broad beam allows for a very spacious interior, featuring two comfortable aft double cabins. One has a queen-sized berth and ensuite bathroom. The other aft cabin has a double berth with a split mattress.

The entire interior is well ventilated, with nine opening hatches and portholes in the saloon, as well as two dorade vents. The aft cabins have three opening hatches and portholes.

The bathrooms have separate heads and showers, keeping the heads dry.

The U-shaped galley is fully equipped with a top-loading fridge and freezer, microwave oven, Force 10 gas range and 4-burner cooker.

She is fitted with hot and cold pressurized water, with hot water supplied from the engine and from a 25 L immersion heater.

A Village Marine 18 GPH watermaker is fitted, with a new high-pressure pump installed in 2018.

The owner’s forward cabin has a king-size bed with a split mattress and six opening hatches and portlights.

Shore power is 110V 60Hz, with 420W solar panels and a 2kW Xantrex inverter/charger, 80A, with remote panel.
