  • Trivia The Zaca was a wooden-hulled, schooner-rigged yacht with an auxiliary engine. She was designed by Garland Rotch and completed in 1930 at Sausalito, California, built by Nunes Brothers Boat and Ways Co. Due to the need for local patrol and rescue craft in the busy waters in the San Francisco area during World War II, the schooner was acquired by the Navy from Templeton Crocker on 12 June 1942. Placed in service on 19 June 1942 and assigned to the Western Sea Frontier, Zaca, classified a miscellaneous auxiliary and designated IX-73 operated as a plane-guard ship, standing ready to rescue the crews of any planes downed nearby. Eventually relieved by the frigates (PF's) of Escort Squadron 41, Zaca was placed out of service at Treasure Island, California on 6 October 1944; and her name was struck from the Navy list on 13 November 1944. Turned over to the War Shipping Administration on 21 May 1945, Zaca was acquired in 1946 by Errol Flynn, an actor famed for his "swashbuckling" roles in numerous movies. Zaca is featured prominently in Orson Welles 's film The Lady from Shanghai (1947) . Flynn owned the yacht until his death in 1959. As of 2008, Zaca is privately owned and berthed in Monaco. The owner is Roberto Memmo. The skipper is Bruno Dal Pias. A crew of four regularly sail Zaca to ports such as Punta Ala, Gaeta, Capri, Cagliari, and throughout the Agean Sea. The Zaca is frequently seen at prestigious sailing races in the Mediterranean. Her winter port is in Port de Fontvielle Monte Carlo. In 2009, the Sailing Channel, now the Nautical Channel, dedicated a program to the entire history of the Zaca from original construction to the present, In the Wake of the Zaca (2005) .
  • Goofs At the start of the film, Flynn leaves his home, mentions and shows that he is carrying an apple and a banana, probably for his lunch. He stuffs the banana into his jacket pocket. As he runs to the waiting helicopter, you can see the banana pop out of his pocket and fall to the ground. He does not stop to retrieve it.
  • Crazy credits Opening dedication: To Dr. Carl Hubbs, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California and to Professor Thomson Flynn of Ireland, my warmest thanks for your technical advice. Signed, Errol Flynn

Schooner Zaca

Launched in San Francisco on the eve of the great depression, the schooner Zaca explored stone-age civilizations in the South Pacific, patrolled the California coast as an armed ship of war during World War II, and served as party boat for sailor and swashbuckling actor, Errol Flynn. Left to languish as a striped hulk on a mud flat in the south of France, schooner Zaca rose like the phoenix to sail again. Sail in her wake and gain a unique perspective on history and experience adventures most of us can only dream about.

errol flynn yacht zaca

Zaca (#) (1930-current) , was a wooden-hulled, schooner-rigged yacht with an auxiliary engine, built at the Nunes Brothers Boats and Ways Boatyard Co. in Old Town, Marin, in 1929. The vessel was designed Garland Rich and commissioned by Templeton Crocker, one of the heirs to the Union Pacific Railway fortune. Nunes yard, located on what is today known as the Valley Street beach, won the job by submitting a low bid of $350,000, thus bringing to Sausalito a welcomed infusion of money and jobs. Nunes had to build a special shed at the foot of Main Street to accommodate the 118’ hull.

Zaca yacht was 127’ including the bowsprit, and was two masted, gaff rigged, and had an unusually broad 23’ beam. The ship had hot and cold running water, and on deck they carried a full sized power cruiser for side trips.

Crocker sailed Zaca around the world covering 27,152 miles and visiting 50 ports (1930). He had a keen interest in natural history, and early on he invited scientists from the California Academy of Sciences on major expeditions, including an expedition to the Galapagos Islands and the South Pacific March 1932 – September 1932). Zaca was at San Nicolas Island in 1932. In late March 1932 the vessel visited Clarion Island and the Revillagigedos, Mexico. Ornithologist Harry Swarth was in charge. He found seven species not previously known for Clarion island.

A 2,690 foot mountain on Indefatigable Island was named Mount Crocker in honor of his conquest of that peak. Later expeditions included Honolulu, Hawaii with the Bishop Museum (1933), Easter Island for the American Museum of Natural History (1934), Gulf of California for the New York Zoological Society (1936), again visiting Clarion Island, this time in charge of William Beebe of the New York Zoological Society, and Hawaii, Tongareva and Samoa for American Museum of Natural History (1936-1937). Crocker received the Ribbon of the Legion of Honor (France, 1926) for his opera “Fey-Yen-Fah”, an adaptation of a play he had written, “Land of Happiness”. He also authored "The Cruise of the Zaca" in 1933.

Due to the need for local patrol and rescue craft in the busy waters in the San Francisco area during World War II, the schooner was acquired by the Navy from Templeton Crocker on 12 June 1942. Zaca was placed out of service at Treasure Island, California on 6 October 1944; and her name was struck from the Navy list on 13 November 1944.

On 21 May 1945, Zaca was acquired in 1946 by Errol Flynn, an actor famed for his "swashbuckling" roles in numerous movies. Zaca is featured prominently in the 1947 Orson Welles film "The Lady from Shanghai". A documentary short film "Cruise Of The Zaca", which features Errol Flynn and marine mammologist, Carl Hubbs, aboard his vessel, was made in 1952 and has been shown on the Turner Classic Movies TV channel. Flynn owned the yacht until his death in 1959.

errol flynn yacht zaca

Started building in 1928 and finished in 1930.   Garland Rotch (designer) was largely inspired by the famous Bluenose schooners.   Originally commissioned by Templeton Crooker, a Yale educated San Francisco banker.   Zaca went around the world twice on scientific expeditions due to the owners interest in Marine Biology.  Crooker then joined the war effort and sold Zaca to the U.S. Navy for $40,000.   Zaca was then painted requisition gray-blue, fitted with 20mm guns and a crew of 35 sailors.

In 1945 Errol Flynn discovered her, and bought her in 1946.   He invested $80,000 towards her restoration:  new masts, repainting etc.   In 1952 Flynn died while trying to sell Zaca to pay off his debts … In 1988 Zaca ended up sinking in the port of Beaulieu.

1991 Roberto Memmo bought the wreck, refloated her and she was restored in IMS shipyard in Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer, near Toulon.   Officially rechristened by Memmo on 22nd September 1994.

Zaca - Lo yacht "Sogno" di Errol Flynn

GOLETTA AURICA

Zaca - Lo yacht

www.thesailingchannel.tv - Nautica Report

  • 13/07/2020 11:00

Poche imbarcazioni a vela moderne sono circondate da mito e leggenda come lo  Zaca yacht. Varato alla vigilia della Grande Depressione, la goletta da 118 piedi ha navigato attraverso settant'anni di storia passando da una straordinaria avventura all'altra. Oggi, ancorata a Monaco, Zaca rimane un argomento affascinante nei circoli nautici di tutto il mondo.                                                                

1928  

Nel 1929, San Francisco, Templeton Crocker incaricò l'architetto navale Garland Rotch di progettare uno degli yacht più lussuosi mai costruiti. L'idea era quella di sostituire un 75 piedi che Crocker aveva perso l'anno precedente durante una rivoluzione in Messico.

Rotch prese in prestito le linee dalla Bluenose, famosa goletta da pesca canadese, la  più veloce mai costruita, e nel mese di agosto del 1929 costruì la chiglia dello Zaca a fianco del cantiere Fratelli Nunes a Sausalito, California.

COSTRUZIONE

1930  

Per costruire una goletta della dimensione dello Zaca non fu una proposta semplice. Designer Garland Rotch e proprietario Templeton Crocker pensarono che la  baia di San Francisco fosse più adatta del cantiere di Ernie e Antonio Nunes a Sausalito.

La nave di 118 piedi era troppo grande così, nel mese di agosto del 1929, la chiglia fu posta nel bel mezzo della strada principale di Sausalito. Una settimana dopo, il mercato azionario crollò. Ma nonostante la Grande Depressione spazzò via la nazione, la costruzione del nuovo Zaca andò a tutta velocità.

1933  

Durante il viaggio inaugurale lo Zaca di Templeton Crocker incontrò SM Lambert nelle isole Figi, Lambert, un dottore in medicina tropicale per la Fondazione Rockefeller, intrattenne Crocker con racconti di regioni isolate e inesplorate nelle Isole Salomone.

Lambert raccontò che là viveva una tribù di polinesiani che, non avendo avuto mai contatti con i bianchi, era 20 mila anni dietro l'uomo moderno vivendo in una civiltà preistorica.

SECONDA GUERRA MONDIALE

1943  

Con la guerra nel 1941, ogni yacht privato fu requisito dalla US Navy. Crocker fu pagato solo 35.000 dollari per la sua goletta amata costata 350.000. Zaca fu dipinto di grigio come una corazzata, ribattezzato IX-73 e messo di pattuglia a 500 miglia al largo di Eureka, California.  

Zaca era come una stazione radiofaro, anche se portava a bordo due mitragliatrici calibro 0,50 mm. Quando tornava a Treasure Island nella baia di San Francisco ogni tre settimane, il suo congelatore era pieno di salmone. Nel 1944, lo Zaca fu sostituito da una motovedetta diesel e nel 1945 fu dismesso e, insieme a molti altri yacht, finì all'asta.

ERROL FLYNN

1946  

Nel 1945, Errol Flynn acquistò Zaca la sua 'nave sogno ' dallo speculatore Joe Rosenberg. Flynn rinnovò completamente lo yacht, dipingendolo di bianco, nel 1946, in compagnia dell' equipaggio, il padre scienziato, biologo marino Carl Hubbs, un assortimento di attori, parenti, e una troupe cinematografica, navigò a Acapulco in una 'spedizione scientifica' che si trasformò in un fiasco.

Dopo che tutti abbandonarono la nave a Acapulco, Flynn assoldò un equipaggio messicano e affittò Zaca a Orson Welles e Rita Hayworth per le riprese di "La signora di Shanghai". Nel 1947, Zaca riapparve a Port Antonio in Giamaica, che Flynn avrebbe chiamato la sua casa. Veleggiando nel Mediterraneo nel 1950, con un equipaggio giamaicano, Zaca sarebbe poi finito al Club Nautico di Palma di Maiorca, dove lui e la terza moglie Patrice Wymore avrebbe vissuto a bordo.

ABBANDONATO

1985  

Dopo la morte di Flynn nel 1959, Zaca rimase nel posto barca del Club Nautico, Patrice non poteva mantenerla e poco si poteva ottenere dalla sua vendita. Gli avvocati di Flynn nel frattempo stavano tramando per sbarazzarsene. Alla fine decisero di consegnarla al milionario playboy inglese Freddie Tinsley che promise cdi poterla vendere vendere in Francia. Una volta in Francia, Tinsley spogliò Zaca da tutto ciò avesse valore e, nel 1965, abbandonata nel cantiere di Bernard Voisin a Villefranche.

Voisin infine rivendicò Zaca a fronte del mancato pagamento del canone di locazione. Zaca peggiorò ulteriormente trasformata in una nave fantasma. La gente del posto sosteneva ci fossero emanazioni di Errol Flynn provenienti dalla nave e il suono di feste sfrenate ogni notte. Tutto questo cessò dopo un doppio  anglicano-cattolico  nel 1979. Nel 1987 l'inglese Coussins Phillip acquistò il cantiere Voisin solo per acquisire Zaca ma l'affare è finì al tribunale francese per due anni. Nel 1990 Coussins liquidò la vendita dello Zaca ad un imprenditore italiano Roberto Memmo.

RISTRUTTURATO

Oggi  

Dopo due anni di ricostruzione totale a Tolone, lo Zaca fece la sua grande ricomparsa a Regatta classico di Monaco nel 1993. Zaca fu eletta una delle più belle barche del mondo. Skipper, Bruno Dal Pias, e un equipaggio regolare di quattro marinai Zaca veleggiò, visitando i porti di Punta Ala, Gaeta, Capri, Cagliari, e l'Egeo.  

errol flynn yacht zaca

Il proprietario Roberto Memmo ha reso nuovamente Zaca protagonista nell'ospitare eader mondiali, scrittori, stelle del cinema e di documentaristi. Durante l'estate, Zaca può essere visto di persona presso importanti regate del Mediterraneo. In inverno si può ammirare a Port de Fontvieille, Monte Carlo.
