Advice from an owner: How to build a regatta-winning sailing yacht

"Ribelle was created by the Dutch yard Vitters as an innovative custom sloop designed by Malcolm McKeon and interior expert Remi Tessier. The bright, contemporary interior décor for Ribelle comes with bleached teak, white leather and lacquered copper, which is further enhanced by an all-glass canopy to bring in plenty of natural light to satisfy the owner’s wishes.

“To totally enjoy nature and to relax, you must have as much natural light as possible in the interior,” says Paola. This was achieved not only through the human connection between owner and designer, but from a long-standing professional relationship as Remi Tessier had worked on a previous yacht of the owners. As a result, Ribelle was awarded Best Interior Design - Sailing Yachts in the BI International Design & Innovation Awards."
