Description
Zelda is a Dehler (34), Optima 101, a well designed and built racer/cruiser with German precision. So popular in Europe that over 700 have been built. Good looking, easily handled, well balanced, sturdy, and quite fast. She is a rewarding boat to sail offering good performance in a wide range of conditions, as well as nice accommodations. As a racer cruiser she is successful at both.
The fractional rig’s large main with 2 reefs, is a great set up for easy shorthanded or single-handed sailing. Zelda has sailed in several (GLSS) Great Lakes single-handed events, of over 300 nm.
