40m sailing yacht Zalmon sold

Ocean Independence has confirmed the in-house sale of the 40.3-metre yacht Zalmon. 

When a young Paola Siniramed, freshly graduated - magna cum laude - from Milano University’s Law Faculty, met Salvatore Trifirò, already a brilliant young lawyer, the two ambitious Italians quickly fell head over heels in love. Salvatore, already a passionate sailor, was quick to introduce his soon-to-be bride to his love for the water, taking weekends to sail on his 7-metre sailing boat on Lake Como, close to their home city of Milan. Paola “quickly realised the wonderful possibilities that come with a life on the water,” and after undertaking some serious studying and training at sailing schools, included a tricky celestial navigation course, so began what would become a lifetime affair with yachting.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/35586/image/large-4a6ec64c765293d03f407926cfcbcfcb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/35586">Specialising and practising family law for some years, once married Paola made the decision to dedicate more time to the couples’ quality of life, investing her energies into the practicalities of enjoying a busy schedule. “Salvatore does not have much free time, and this is the problem with all yacht owners,” she says. “Of course, they are yacht owners because they work incredibly hard, they have reaped the rewards of a high-intensity professional life. I optimise my husband’s time so that we enjoy our time together to the maximum level. Our beloved boats are always the most important objects in our lives. Work is our priority, our way of sustaining ourselves and our lifestyle, and the second most important is following our passion whenever we can.”&nbsp;Taking the traditional route of steadily climbing up the size ladder, following their passion is exactly what Paola did, and the next 20 years saw the Trifirò’s go from 7-metres to 21-metres in several stages, cruising the wonders of the Italian, French, and Greek coasts extensively whenever they could. The spirit of sailing had the Trifirò’s hooked, and as Paola explains, “Sailing is a dream. It allows you to really discover the world, to happen upon secluded beaches and coves that you can’t do otherwise. We’re always looking for hidden places to explore. It’s a fantastic experience.” <img src="/uploads/store/photo/35587/image/large-d553f303e8dc24360f32eb9acad829cf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/35587">The thirst for exploration eventually let the Trifirò’s minds wander to more distant shores, and with that, a boat capable of voyaging a little farther than the waters of their homeland. And so they made the jump to superyacht, with the purchase of the 25 metre Jongert-built <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7580" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Happy Taurus II 26.6m (87'3&quot;)">Happy Taurus II</a>. This, Paola explains, was the first chance they had to really get out there and experience sailing in a way that harks back to the ages past. “We bought her from a German owner, and 25-metres was already much bigger than anything we had had at this time. Jongert built very strong, beautiful boats, so I told my husband that now, we can really pass Gibraltar and go out towards the world. Enjoying navigating as Columbus did, to acquire and better our knowledge, or to discover something new and exciting.”&nbsp;Exploring much of Europe, including the British coast, the rest of the world soon beckoned. “From Happy Taurus II, we went on to a semi-custom, 31-metre yacht, Anamcara in 2001,” continues Paola. “She was also a Jongert and just beautiful. With these two boats, still now in our hearts, we did some fantastic cruising all over the world, from Cornwall to Norway, and to the East Coast of the States. We touched Nantucket with a big emotion, we entered New York and Savannah, we passed Panama many times, and really enjoyed Baja California. We moored in Seattle and navigated the cold, unique waters of Alaska. It was fantastic.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/35588/image/large-b114551686e3a1d3cf862220c8ae049f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/35588">Exploration kept the Trifirò’s occupied for an additional four years before they discovered the regatta scene, in 2004, in Porto Cervo at the renowned Rolex Cup. Paola soon had another project in which she could savour learning every aspect - all for the maximisation of their enjoyment of the prized possession. “We had never considered racing, but as soon as we saw the passion for racing, the thrill of the sport, we decided to go for a yacht that was thinner, quicker, and give racing a shot!”&nbsp;Paola was true to her word, and within the year the Trifirò’s were the proud owners of the 40-metre Dubois-designed <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/411" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zalmon40.4m (132'7&quot;)">Kokomo of London</a>. Never one to do anything by halves, the first regatta the Trifirò’s competed in saw Ed Dubois himself at the wheel of Kokomo of London (“Ed was an extraordinary man and friend, we had a mutual understanding and my respect for him still remains strong today,” Paola says) taken over by serial yacht owner and influential sailor <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/48039" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Neville Crichton: How an owner, sailor and entrepreneur sparked industry transformation (2018-01-22 12:00:00 +0100)">Neville Crichton</a> after a family emergency forced Dubois to hastily return to shore. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/32201/image/large-4639d15e95caafce75c1dc0066d4644e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/32201"> Always with an eye to the future, once the Trifiro’s racing appetite had been whetted the search for their next sailing boat began, which lead to the commissioning of the 49.7-metre<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2463" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zefira49.69m (163'0&quot;)">&nbsp;Zefira</a> to be built at the New Zealand shipyard, Fitzroy Yachts. Choosing the exterior designer and naval architect was easy, Paola says, with Ed Dubois and the team at Dubois Naval Architects undertaking the project from the word ‘GO’. The interior, however, was a little more problematic. Having recently been on board the 52.3-metre Perini Navi ketch<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/821" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Squall52.34m (171'9&quot;)">&nbsp;Squall</a> where Paola was immediately taken aback by the high-quality of her Rémi Tessier designed interior, that, as they say, was that. It had to be Tessier. Tessier, however, was much more focused on residential design projects in Miami at the time, and having recently welcomed his fourth child into the world, was less than enthusiastic about the prospect of working on a new yacht on the opposite side of the world.&nbsp;So he answered a gentle ‘no’ to Dubois’ request. But, as a testament to the wonderfully Italian, persuasively charming lady that is Paola Trifirò, she would not take no for an answer. “I called him,” she smiles. “It was lucky for me that I speak French quite well as a second language. I convinced him to come to Milano, just for a short meeting. When he arrived, dressed all in white and looking every bit the handsome man, he started admiring our ultra-modern penthouse in the heart of the city, close to the Duomo. He stepped in, looked around and said, ‘Okay. I think we can work together.’ He sat down at the table and said, ‘Tell me what you want.’ One week later he sent us a design. For the first time in my life, I had nothing to say! He understood everything we wanted. I am not an easy lady at times, but we had such respect for each other. He is the best.” The perseverance for perfection paid off, and Zefira went on to win a number of awards upon completion in 2010, including Sailing Yacht of the Year 2011 and Best Sailing Yacht 45m+ at the World Superyacht Awards 2011.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/35589/image/large-1f4a570d0b8ce86950c01c3b6c5ee296.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/35589">The collaboration with Tessier continued onto the next new build sailing superyacht for the Trifirò’s, their current 32.6-metre Vitters-built <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5917" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ribelle32.64m (107'1&quot;)">Ribelle</a>, completed last year. This time the Trifirò’s opted for a smaller yacht and, enlisting the help of Malcolm McKeon for her naval architecture and exterior design, managed to create another winning vessel with the awarding of Best Interior Design - Sailing Yachts in the BI International Design &amp; Innovation Awards.&nbsp;Looking at Ribelle’s interior, it’s certainly not difficult to see why she is a worthy winner, with a level of comfort, luxury and style that is unfortunately not often synonymous with sailing yachts. Paola agrees: “We have a very quick, ultra modern, all-carbon and titanium racing boat with a fantastic, luxury interior. By luxury, I am not referring to the shiny, expensive things on board. I’m referring to the big loves of life, what you want on the boat to ensure the best life experience onboard. It’s very ‘luxury’ to be surrounded only by the things that you love, to have the space, the light that we do. I did the layout with Malcolm, incorporating all the smart naval architecture tricks to get the very best result. He is a great designer - he always listens and never tries to impose ideas that are not suited to that specific owner. His suggestions, experience and competence are absolute.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/35437/image/large-730f6cee9e57fa03113d6f91397d0e56.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/35437"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/12888/image/large-2b89fcd856dc15dc1422fd97328a1a77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/12888">Did you ever consider building a motor yacht, I ask? “Well, the dispute between sailing and motor yacht owners is long and without an end. As far as I’m concerned, since I had the honour to be called as a Judge in the BI World Superyacht Awards since 2011, I was presented with the task of visiting many boats, the majority of them motorboats. So I started getting to know them better, and I must admit that many are splendid creatures, unbelievably perfect machines with many possibilities to enjoy life, starting from the elegance of the interiors, to the magnificent swimming pools, to the cinema saloons. But let me say, sailing for us ‘addicts’ is also about experiencing the taste of the sea, to glide on the water, and just to listen to the wind and the swish of the sail. It is a totally different way of yachting.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/35417/image/large-9b9840006081896eaf81f943de278d87.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/35417">Demonstrating their fierce passion for the sailing way of life, as soon as Ribelle was ready to go the Trifirò’s took her on three back-to-back regattas. The aim? To show the world that it is indeed possible to create a performance-orientated sailing yacht that is beautifully designed both inside and out. “In 2017, the first year for Ribelle, we won the Rolex Cup in Porto Cervo,” Paola tells me proudly, “so we proved our idea of a very fast boat with a fantastic interior which looks like a luxury superyacht but is, in reality, a racing boat. People may think she is severe because she is a racing boat, but she is not only so. I am a passionate sailor, and I love to have the best interior on what many consider a severe vessel. The most beautiful thing is to stay on your boat and love every second, breathing in the sea life. It doesn’t have to be such a contrast between the performance boats and luxury boats, and that is very important to me.”&nbsp;With Ribelle still relatively new to the Trifirò’ fleet, what’s the next project for Paola and Salvatore? Despite that fierce loyalty to sailing, the ultimate dream is the rebuild of a 1930s classic yacht. “I have a dream to find a narrow, sleek motorboat of the 30s, and to refit it perfectly. The 1930s was a period of yachting I very much admire, so I would love to refit it and take it around the Mediterranean. Perhaps I am glamorising the idea, thinking of a movie style cruise around the Med on this glorious classic yacht, but I would really enjoy that refit process. One of my favourite things to do with boats is to think about the every aspect of the construction of my dream.” If Paola’s previous dreams are anything to go by, this could certainly be one to watch out for in the future.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/35436/image/large-099b1fd1102eeaabe2d40515c53f0b5e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/35436">Paola Trifirò on...BUYING VS CHARTERThis is another long dispute between yachties. We have friends who think that a boat - sailing or motor, doesn’t matter - is complex and difficult to run… not to mention expensive. So they feel happy to charter a yacht, the size and the type they prefer, in the part of the world they like. They say to me: ‘what can be better?’ Of course, the boat owners feel their boat as a creature, whom to dedicate time and passion into as they do with their home. They like to cross the seas among their own familiar objects, pointing their prow where they want and when they want and feeling at home. It is another taste, they say. For me, that is worth the investment.&nbsp;BUILDING IN NEW ZEALANDThe distance was an issue, but of course I knew I would have to travel far and accepted that. My husband only came once at the beginning, and another time at the end. I went down every month! It was a long way, but I had a nice flight with Emirates and a lady friend who came with me from time to time to help with the hard times. It was a great experience.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/23560/image/large-cb4b92eeb7ccfa1407fdc6f996979967.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/23560">I’m so sorry for the condition of the New Zealand shipbuilding industry today. I hope that the America’s Cup will give New Zealand a boost, because the quality of the work is just fantastic. The people there are just as high a quality. They are so open-minded. They were looking at me at first like I was from another world, but after two days, everybody knew me and I made a lot of friends. Competent and serious people, fantastic land, full of blue agapanthus flowers and thousands of rainbows. I miss them a lot!&nbsp;FAVOURITE CRUISING GROUNDS We’ve sailed all over the world, and it would be reductive to name favourites. Every moment is special onboard. Of course something like cruising in Baja California in May when the whales have their small little calves is more impressive than navigating between Corsica and Sardinia, but I do love both! Sailing is a big occasion of knowledge and emotions.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/30823/image/large-7238e480d179f5ab2e595392bf3fa910.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/30823">There are spots in which I was particularly delighted with the people I met - like in Alaska, where I had a fantastic, very interesting afternoon meeting people who were astonished we could have decided to leave sunny Italy to head to Alaska’s cold waters! Also when we were cruising just off Fiji, we were invited for tea with the village chief. These are very special moments for &nbsp;us when sailing, moments when we feel immensely proud to be sailors.

Alloy Yachts built superyacht Nuberu Blau 

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. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133262/image/large-0d0beef242744361d9df840da54153c5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133262">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. <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2463">Zefira’s</a> lines, silhouette and technical performance are something to be admired. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133263/image/large-1fde87ae73376f2d54f8b9d7d79d157e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133263"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133264/image/large-41a5913c04a0768967a555a4e1344649.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133264"><a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2463">Zefira</a> was built for Italian owners who are wonderfully passionate and artistic. Previously owning an older Dubois-designed sloop, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/411">Kokomo of London</a>, 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. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133265/image/large-9775625464c0d7a5f610a02ccd0b6d1a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133265"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133266/image/large-2e6452a092eb2f5cf481b8fa325d5117.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133266"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133267/image/large-f2e0bb690629ba83a4a2a2d67e88de52.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133267">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. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133268/image/large-57bd684bcb752a6745bb6e5925e45e60.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133268">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.

Five new centrals for Dubois Yachts

Stronger winds and testing tactical conditions saw major changes in fortunes throughout the Superyacht Cup fleet for the second day of sailing for the Astilleros de Mallorca Rally. The change to an easterly wind direction led to a close reach along the coast to the Fortis mark off Caba Regana, where a colourful array of spinnakers were set as the fleet headed across the Bay of Palma to the turning mark off the Isla de Sech.Fortune favoured the early starters and the tacticians who chose to reach up into the bay when the wind first died and then changed to a south westerly.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/122769/image/large-d2fc6029c0fea5ffcfc8c1c90abf5532.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/122769">Captain Phil Wade on the 44.7m (147ft) ketch Timoneer, one of the most experienced 'rally' skippers, took advantage of the situation sailing around many yachts to take second place in Division 1.Whilst Superyacht Cup supremo Patrick Whetter continued to see north easterlies on the committe boat Ilona up in the corner of the Bay, there was a large hole in the wind at the NZ turning mark off Isla de Sech.At first glance it seemed that the handicapper for the pursuit starts had finaly got his sums right as half the 52-boat fleet came together as more and more yachts piled into the fray. For a short period in the ensuing melee yachts were drifting in every direction.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/122770/image/large-87f5899307c625d333306fb0d0f20b31.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/122770">Considering the size, speed differential and lack of manouerabilty in light winds of many of the larger yachts, the fact that there was no damage is a testament to the boat handling and seamanship skills of the Superyacht Cup crews.The J-Class <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/251">Velsheda</a> was one of the major losers as her owner/driver time and again tried to cross the fleet on port to get on the right side of the mark, finally crossing close to Mystere's bow to get back in contention. Even with the time lost, Velsheda still managed to finish 12 minutes ahead of close rival Ranger.The fastest elapsed time around the course was set by Wild Oats IX in two hours 39 minutes, with Alfa Romeo seven minutes behind despite having held an early lead, and the Wally Y3K third fastest with an elapsed time of two hours 45 minutes.The points weighting multiple for the second day was 1.0 compared with 0.3 for the first day. For the final day the start order will again be the reverse of the previous days elapsed time, but the vagaries of the conditions will have undoubtedly upset many of the start times.The Superyacht Cup concludes on Tuesday with the New Zealand Millennium Cup followed by the New Zealand Millennium Cup Ball and a dockside crew party.Results Astilleros de Mallorca Day TwoDivision 1 1.
