The Dubois designed fast cruising sloop Zefira, built under the project or model name x50 was crafted to exceptional standards which continue the yards reputation for building award winning superyachts.

Zefira is powered by a Caterpillar C32 1450 bhp main engine and a Hundested variable pitch propeller, the propulsion system provides long range motor sailing abilities. The 56 meter ‘light weight’ carbon fiber sailing rig was supplied by Southern Spars, and the sails inventory provided by North Sails.

Notes on Zefira from Dubois Naval Architects

“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.”
