Zeelander Yacht GAZELLE Sold

Posted June 9, 2020 in Brokerage & New Build by Morgan Crowe

Northrop & Johnson is delighted to announce the sale of the 44-foot (13.41m) GAZELLE. Yacht Broker John Slate represented the seller.

Boasting a New York commuter style, head-turning high-gloss paint, and impeccable attention to detail, GAZELLE was built by Zeelander in 2014. This yacht is unparalleled in her class — from her profile to her layout, the yacht was ergonomically designed with form over function.

GAZELLE showcases a seamless layout that creates a desirable space for relaxing and entertaining. Aft, the motor yacht features a sizeable fold-out swim platform, which gives the boat an additional four feet (1.2m) of useable guest space when at anchor. The swim platform is great for diving into the water for a swim and basking in the sunshine. GAZELLE has a spacious cockpit with a large U-shaped settee, an L-shaped settee opposite, and a cocktail table.

Just forward of the cockpit is a covered wheelhouse that can be open to the cockpit or fully protected in bad weather. The wheelhouse is another excellent space for entertaining with the helm perfectly positioned to stay apart of the conversation with those seated at the settee. GAZELLE features a sunroof that fills the area with an abundance of natural light. On the yacht’s foredeck is a large sunpad that is perfect for sunbathing.

This Zeelander motor yacht is perfect for weekend trips with the family or with another couple. The main salon has a quaint galley with the necessities needed for a weekend trip as well as a V-shaped settee. GAZELLE features accommodations for up to four guests. The yacht has a charming queen-bed stateroom with a cozy couch as well as a settee that converts into a double in the main salon.

Gazelle trailer yacht deck delaminated.

Ok so I've moved on from the Roberts and now looking at Gazelle. I'm not sure if they were widely sold in Australia although I know they were marketed there. I looked at one yesterday which was surprisingly smart in the internet add.... and surprisingly rough in the flesh. One key issue was that the deck was spongy in places. It seems that the fibreglass has delaminated from the ply underneath. (It actually didn't look like ply... more like tempered hardboard but hard to tell since it was carpeted over) In one place on the foredeck the ply still seems solid underneath but over the cabin the ply seems spongy. I'm guessing that water has seeped in through a deck fitting and caused the delamination. The deck looks ok aesthetically but will need strengthening. I anticipate that you're all going to tell me to run away... but if the boat was dirt cheap... is this fixable without taking the entire deck off? I'm thinking maybe stripping the ply off underneath and increasing strength somehow from underneath.... anyone had a go at this... or am I dreaming?

The deck sounds like a foam sandwich. The foam is supposed to be closed cell but water does get in and it turns to mush. It can be repaired if its in isolated areas. Usually around the mast and where there is some traffic. Plenty of sources of info on the net for this repair. Basically it entails drilling a series of holes down through the outer skin. Bent nail in an electric drill and rip the old foam out. After drying the holes are filled with epoxy/microballoon mixture and the deck painted over. If it was me and the area was not too great it would not deter me, especially if it was a boat I really wanted and was priced right.

Help choosing a trailer sailer - big is better right?

The Noelex 25's hold their value because:

They are roomy for their size, practically laid out, have heaps of storage, some have 'pop tops' which allow lots of head room inside while cruising

Not too heavy for thier size

Sail properly, - no bad habits, nice hull shape, good fun to race, can beat much bigger boats.

Simple to rig and sail

Offer class raving and good national champs

Well known and proven

All but 1 I know of have a factory finished interior, rather than a home handyman botch job on some trailer yachts.... Or one off weird layouts on others.

More family friendly (not quite as fast /powered up) as a Ross boat.

Any others?

There are a few now that have been ok boats that have sold inside your budget, they may not have had fancy race sails etc, but I doubt that to be a concern to you at the moment?

Noelex 25's are good boats but generally go for 25k plus.

Any Trojan you look at will be 30 years plus old and they don't sail particularly well.

Well sorted looked after Ross 780's are worth 20 - 30k. They are very well built and are an absolute joy to sail. 

Substance has had a bulb added which has actually made her stiffer but possibly hurt her performance down wind and on a reach which means she is slower than class boats. 

I wuld suggest taking the bulb off and returning her to class. 

She is a bargain though and has had lots of money spent on her. I'd seriously waive 15 or 16k under his nose. She took a long time to sell last time she was on the market.

The added bulb would actually make it better for the OP's intended use by the sound of things.

Some excellent advice on here, I really appreciate your opinions. Thanks for the heads up on the Trojans, I would prefer to sail & preferably on a fun boat!

That Ross sounds like it would take a bit to sell in the future and it's been modified so that wouldn't help I imagine. Maybe I should save my pennies and find a reasonable Noelex 25.

Keep it coming fellas I am learning lots.

I contacted the local sailing club, Bring on summer!

The ross 780 doesn,t look like it has the factory interior, check that it is not an early build , I didn,t see in the ad the construction used, its not  early timber prototype  is it. I had a look at a factory ross 780 and it was a really nice boat with plenty of room, a lot more than the 26 ft Hotpot that I had at the time.

If you want a fun trailer boat that has any resale value at all then your only options are an elliott 7.4 or Ross 780. Elliotts come up for sail about one every two years and asking 30k plus, About two R780s come up for sale a year and are usually asking 25 - 30k.

The R780 on TM is a factory Hopwood hull and decks, Balsa core and comes with a heap of cruising gear, including autohelm.

My idea of a fun sail boat would be an AC45, but I don't think it fits my 15k budget and I know the wife and kids would run off when I hand them helmets to go sailing......

Resale is an important factor, that 780 might sail faster than it sells, it has been modified and is over 30 years old,it's not a "normal 780".

It is a cool looking boat tho, I would go for a look with cash in hand if it was within my budget, anything over and I would feel I'm just going to loose too much on the resale.

A Noelex may not be as fun to sail, but Im pretty sure I would feel happier in something that holds its value. (I have owned boats for awhile, I know they loose money-some more than others)

Hmmm. A tricky situation then, most of the trailer yachts in NZ are 30 years old. Including the Noelex 25's, the NZ built ones were 80's boats, there are maybe 2 Australian 90's built ones in NZ, but you would expect them to be at the more expensive end of the scale. The decent trailer boats - Noelex, Elliott, Ross and Farr, in the 25 foot range have all held their value ok, maybe due to being factory built class boats, but a tidy one will still be 25k +. 15k does kind of put you in the middle of the better condition less common not so great boats and the older, rougher, less kit, popular boats. If you buy a rough popular model boat, you may decide the motor isn't reliable to get the family out of trouble, +$2k, the squabs are a bit stuffed and not good for sleeping on, +$2k, the sails are a bit done, +3k, the halyards, sheets, jammers and clutches are had it, +$2k... You will need to be particular, lucky and quick to buy a good popular boat that doesn't look 30 years old and won't require $$ soon, close to your budget.

Very well put mattm, thank you for explaining that.

I'm certainly now leaning toward saving another 10 for a reasonable Noelex 25.

I read somewhere,maybe here? "Sooner or later everyone ends up in a Noelex"

yup the Ross Substance  is a balsa core hopwood hull and decks. 

With the bulb she makes a really nice cruiser.

She doesn't have a factory interior but what she has is just as good. the current owner has done alot of tidying to her.

She would be very easy to return to class, just remove the bulb and reinstate the internal ballast.

These boats have good resale value when in class trim and with a racing history.

Several have sold in the 20 -30k mark in the last few years and the class is having a resurgence in wellington and chch.

In another 5 years people will be giving noelex 25s away. The new generation of sailor doesnt want a slow boat and there are alot of these around owned by people who are nearing the end of thier sailing lives.

Please explain what the 'new generation of sailor' is, and why they wouldn't want a proven boat built by (at the time) one of NZ's leading production yacht builders?

Also explain what they are going to sail? There hasn't been a new trailer yacht on the market that has sold decent numbers in years. Maybe even decades. The issue will be an ageing fleet and lack of supply. Boats may become give always, but because they are unusable due to age and neglect, not due to lack of demand.

The younger market may want fast cruisable boats, but there isn't a perfect option, nothing with a useable cabin will beat a sport boat without one, and no real sport boat can really be cruised by a family....

I have a sport boat now, but am totally open to the ideal of a Noelex 25 or Ross or Elliott when I want to be able to go cruising as well.

Further to points above -- plenty of fun to be had sailing 'slow' trailer yachts at their top speed. We're happy with our 22' Bonito and we're hardly ancient -- 20's/30's. I wouldn't pay much of a premium (i.e. 30k vs 10k!) for something faster for what we use it for.

The collection of production trailer sailers from the 70,s are still going strong, many of the old Kestrels etc are practically as good as new and awesome value.There is even many of the old plywood Hartleys etc around that are still in good nick with no sign of being thrown away any time soon. 

I am often telling people who think it would be awesome to have a sailboat to go away on holidays that you can go and get one for even 3k or less,and have great camping style holidays that don,t involve any daily fees for campsites etc, and you can  get to places that most people can,t.  People spend more on a second hand mountain bike these days than you can  find a trailer sailer for. 2 of my workmates went halves in a venturer 20 , it was less than $500 each and they have had plenty of use of it since.All it needed was a couple of new wheels for the trailer, nothing very expensive.  Small boats mean small problems, both in sailing and maintenance, just look at Webb Chiles around the world in a 24 ft boat.

Gotta agree there!

We have a Pelin cherry 16 trailer yacht and the gbe. The annual cost of the cherry is a few hundred including fuel for the car, the gbe eats that just in routine maintenance. The fun quotient is similar in both, but for different reasons.

Our family has outgrown the cherry (too many kids) but none of us want to sell it because some of the best racing around takes place in 16 footers. Plus we can take it on holiday for exploring inland waters.

Surprised no one has suggested a Gazelle. Mk 2 were core glass and quite light. They are a great cruiser / racer with heaps of room.25 ' long well built and seem to sell around the $$$ you are looking at. R780 good boat too.. Trojan is OK.....

Really good points being made, "slow boats" are still fun, and just because they are all old now doesn't mean they are rubbish. I'll have to be realistic with my budget and look around a bit with an open mind.

I do like the Gazelles I had assumed out of my price range.

Any opinions on this one??

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/trailersailer/auction-1071453613.htm

The WitchCraft is a fine boat. That one was built by a joiner in Rotorua. Spent most of its life on Lake Rotoiti. Would be well worth a look.

The Gazelle is another fine boat. Another overlooked design is the Catalina 7. 

the wooden boat looks good , similiar to a nolex 25. At the right price it will sell , don,t be afraid to make an offer of what you are prepared to pay, it may be the only interest the seller has. It may  not be easy to sell for 14k even though it is perhaps worth that much.Most people want glass boats and they are around the same price.

He’s pretty light on his feet – all six of them.

A mountain gazelle with two extra legs growing out of its back was seen in Israel — and experts say that despite his physical challenges, he is “healthy” and “strong.”

The six-legged gazelle was spotted in late March by army reservist Nir Leichter when he stopped for a coffee at the Nahal HaBoshor nature reserve in the western Negav, the Jerusalem Post reported .

Leichter sent a photo of the gazelle to the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel, which attributed the strange condition to a rare genetic condition known as polymelia, or organ proliferation.

The gazelle is the first known example of the hereditary condition – which mostly occurs in the cattle, birds, and reptiles – in a mountain gazelle in the Middle East, SPNI conservationist Amir Balaban told CBS News .

The six-legged gazelle survived a complex birth and navigated predators in the wild in order to mature into a thriving adult, Balaban noted.

“Contrary to expectations, the gazelle is healthy, strong, and has three female gazelles and a fawn from the previous fall. He has been seen hosting the females in the fields and the extra legs on his back pose no challenge to him,” he noted.

Mountain gazelles are a protected species in Israel, where only about 5,000 are believed to remain in the wild, the outlet noted.

The six-legged gazelle’s survival is all the more impressive because his territory in the western Negev is just a free miles from the war-torn Gaza Strip. 

The area is “one of the most important remaining strongholds for the Israeli gazelle in the western Negev, especially during the recent war,” according to SPNI.

In addition to Israel, mountain gazelles can also be spotted in Turkey, parts of Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, and the Palestinian territories.
