Superyacht Zefira by Fitzroy Yachts and Dubois Naval Architects
Thursday, 25 November 2010
Sailing yacht Zefira is the 7th Dubois design to be built by Fitzroy Yachts and signifies a new and appealing development both above and below decks.
This 49.7m fast cruising sloop is the largest sloop Dubois Naval Architects has designed without a flybridge. She is of aluminium construction with a bulb keel and a maximum beam of 9.95m. Zefira’s lines, silhouette and technical performance are something to be admired.
Zefira was built for Italian owners who are wonderfully passionate and artistic. Previously owning an older Dubois-designed sloop, Kokomo of London, the challenge to us was to combine our extensive experience with a fresh look at style, while still embodying all the features which combine seaworthiness with performance.
The flow of space throughout the yacht is especially easy and logical. Comfort below was essential, as was the detail and finish. The interior layout shows a large owner’s suite with special accent on wardrobe space and this is complimented by a large bathroom situated aft of the main cabin. The interior design was provided by the inimitable skills of Remi Tessier.
Both the interior and exterior are equally spectacular. This elegant superyacht will continue to look contemporary long into her life, well-standing the test of time. An interior Dubois layout styled by Remi Tessier creates a very special ambience and when placed into a Dubois-designed hull, the final result is simply outstanding.
The Research Vessel (RV) Pegaso just made her debut in Monaco and gave the world a glimpse into her Global Mission for Marine Conservation. Her oceanographic capabilities are impressive: 5-person Diver Lockout submarine, Ice Class notation, 10,000 nautical miles at 12 knots, wet/dry laboratory, and separate scientist quarters. Read More
