The Yacht & Skipper

​

Jekamanzi: Is a 50' Bruce Roberts Design built in 1995, she is a Bermudan cutter and has a pedigree of several trans Atlantic voyages under three previous owners, when I purchased her in 2010 she was in a poor condition and was in need of some major works before starting life anew in Scilly.... she has been extensively refitted over several years and re-launched in 2022. 

​

The name Jekamanzi is Zulu for Dragonfly or Damselfly which lends itself to our logo but Zulu being a descriptive language the word Jekamanzi literally translates as 'dancing on water'
