El astillero de los sueños

Entramos en los dominios de Swan, la casa finlandesa donde nacen los ‘Rolls-Royce’ del mar. Experimentadas manos producen aquí los veleros más preciados del planeta

Quino Petit | El País Semanal | 08 oct 2014

Con el torso desnudo y una toalla anudada alrededor de la cintura, Enrico Chieffi, de 51 años, excampeón del mundo de la clase Star de vela ligera y consejero delegado de Swan, blande una gélida cerveza al salir de una humeante sauna finlandesa a última hora de la tarde. “Slow life is a good life”, dice con su marcado acento italiano. Una vida tranquila es una buena vida. La frase que rubrica la escena podría servir como resumen del espíritu de la firma que lidera bajo la presidencia de su compatriota y amigo Leonardo Ferragamo desde que este último se hizo con el control de la compañía en 1998.

We enter the realm of Swan, the Finnish company where the ‘Rolls-Royces’ of the sea are born. Experienced hands produce the most prized sailboats on the planet here.

With a bare torso and a towel knotted around his waist, Enrico Chieffi, 51, former world champion of the Star class in dinghy sailing and CEO of Swan, wields an icy beer as he exits a steaming Finnish sauna late in the afternoon. “Slow life is a good life,” he says with his distinctive Italian accent. A quiet life is a good life. The phrase that concludes the scene could serve as a summary of the spirit of the company he leads under the presidency of his compatriot and friend Leonardo Ferragamo since the latter took control of the company in 1998.
