Zar 85 SL, the stylish and sporty semi-rigid living space

Zar will present at the Cannes Yachting Festival (Sept. 6-11, 2016) its new RIB, the ZAR 85 Sport Luxury. With a length of 8.50 m, this new boat becomes the largest in the Sport Luxury range, which includes two other models: the ZAR 49 SL (4.90 m) and the ZAR 59 SL (6.09 m).

The Zar 85 SL was developed from the structure of the comfortable Zar 87, which has a cabin (with bathroom). This same hull is also suitable for a sportier boat of the Sport Luxury range (comfort, habitability, design).

This new RIB has a sporty and modern design, like the whole range. The bow is designed to throw water downwards and thus not wet the interior. The deep V hull has two lateral lifting tunnels that allow the boat to lift off the ground to reach a high speed, while remaining stable and safe.

The Zar 87 is equipped with a cabin

The new Zar 85 SL is equipped with a hydraulic helm and a sporty and ergonomic steering wheel as standard features. The large console allows the boat to be equipped with all the instruments necessary for navigation. The cockpit is equipped with two seats (pilot and co-pilot) to navigate comfortably.

The habitability is an important element of the boat, so we find many elements of comfort and practicality. At the front, the space is completely surrounded by a handrail that secures the space. In this area, there is a dinette that can accommodate 8 people. When the table is lowered, the area becomes a sunbathing area and thanks to the console upholstery, the seats become a bathing chair.

In the aft cockpit, the bench seat with two side panels (which can accommodate 6 people) can be used as a saloon (with another table) and also become (with the table lowered) another resting space of 2 x 1.30 m.

Aft and under the cockpit seats is a kitchenette with a 3-burner stove and a sink covered by a nylon cutting board. Under the kitchen are located a large stainless steel refrigerator of 70 L and a large compartment for the storage of the kitchen.

At the level of the steering console, a sliding door (left side) allows access to the cabin equipped with a marine toilet and a sink. There is also plenty of storage space. This space can be transformed into a double bed to become an extra berth.

The anchor locker is pre-equipped with a stainless steel bracket for an optional electric windlass. The new Zar 85 SL is available in white, black, light and dark grey.
