Nazenin V is an elegant, classic Sparkman & Stephens designed long distance cruising ketch. Her fine hull and long overhangs allow for comfortable cruising with the predictable and easy motion of the yacht. Nazenin V is built utilizing many modern materials and equipment, which enhance the performance of the ketch, allowing for easier handling when sailing. The masts and spars are all Carbon Fibre as is the rudder in order to optimize the performance and handling characteristics. The main mast carries a powered elevator/crow’s nest right up to the head of the genoa that apart from providing excellent access for the crew gives a quite magnificent view for guests.
Nazenin V is optimized to balance performance, seaworthiness, and comfortable handling on all points of sail. Nazenin’s sail area pushes the upper limits for a boat 52 meters in length. A generous sail plan, including an oversized mizzen mast, gives Nazenin V numerous options and configurations for sailing. Furling head and staysails ease the handling of a full complement of D4 sails from Doyle Sailmakers. The end result is a yacht that drives effortlessly and points incredibly well.
Below deck there is a modern interpretation of a classic raised and fielded teak paneled interior with all contemporary equipment that would be expected on such a yacht. The design of the interior is by Redman Whiteley Dixon Ltd (RWD) who interpreted the owner’s requirements to design a truly elegant interior for this large sailing yacht, encompassing all of his extensive yachting experience and love of the sea. The joinery was executed with great attention to the detail, with sycamore inlays in the doors and architraves being matched to the table tops and chairs, fluted columns and patterned marble floors using local stone and craftsmen. Extensive use was made of the local craftsmanship available to customize the details, such as considerable amounts of carving work onboard like the handrails and the corbel under the passageway console tables.
Throughout the yacht there are numerous artworks on display from the owner’s extensive and eclectic collections highlighting the owner’s wish to see Nazenin V as a means of expressing his passion for both sailing and the arts.
