The Privilege 585 is a 17.0-meter fractional sloop catamaran designed by Marc Lombard and built by Alliaura Marine from 2002 to 2005. It features a twin keel hull, a 9.2-meter beam, a 1.8-meter draft, and displaces 17,780 kg. Aboard *Sailing Zatara*, a 2006 Privilege 585 named *Zatara* features a galley-down layout in the starboard hull, equipped with a full-size stove, oven, three convertible refrigerators, two dedicated freezers, a dishwasher, and a microwave.12:34 This galley placement keeps cooking heat out of the salon and allows dishes to remain out of sight.3:42 The crew uses 330-watt glue-on solar panels, though these are insufficient for the watermaker without a generator. An Ultramarine anchor is used and endorsed.13:43 An electric pump is flush-mounted into the hull for inflating water toys. *Zatara* hosted the first annual Blue Water Cruising Summit in the Florida Keys, where it was toured alongside a 2023 Exquisite X5.3:13 The Privilege 585 *Amelia* was seen transiting the Mediterranean, coordinating arrival times and fuel stops with other vessels.0:05
