Description
The Zóspiro is a pure racing yacht, competitive in IOR and IRC, with the possibility of adaptation to ORC. Its fractional rig and maneuvering with high and low sheets allow for precise sail configuration. It has no cruising habitability (no bathroom, kitchen, or beds), making it a lightweight, fast, and very agile unit on the water.
