A proven blue-water catamaran, Zorba has an impressive pedigree and is fully equipped for your blue water sailing adventures. Zorba circumnavigated the globe and has continued sailing extensively in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Sometimes considered the largest sailboat a single owner/couple/family can sail without professional crew, the Lagoon 560 provides comfortable living space while also offering impressive performance. Zorba sustained some minor superficial damage in the BVI’s during Irma years ago but has since traveled over nearly 20,000 nautical miles all over the Caribbean and then back across the Atlantic and around the Mediterranean demonstrating her seaworthiness. The current owners are completing their dream of a one year, full-time sailing and traveling experience as a family but (sadly) have to return to “normal life” and so are listing their beloved home for sale, presenting an exciting opportunity for a new owner.
Originally fully equipped with the best available, Zorba has always been privately owned and never charted. The current owners did an extensive refit prior to moving aboard to ensure Zorba is in excellent condition with some excellent upgrades such as:

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
