Southern Wind 94 -

The new 28.64m Southern Wind 94 sailing yacht is under construction at South Africa’s Southern Wind Shipyard, with the intention of launching her late this summer. The SW 94’s hull shape and sail plan was designed by Reichel_Pugh while the general concept, interior and exterior styling was designed by Nauta_Design.

Following the successes of the 78ft sailing yacht, also designed by Reichel Pugh and Nauta Design, Southern Wind will launch a new 94ft range of cruiser / racer providing even better performances.

The new SW94 sailing yacht has been developed to give optimal racing results, the yachts design is also focused on comfort. The engineering and  layout are geared toward safety in all weather conditions when cruising while the hull lines and the sail plan designed by Reichel Pugh are optimised for the IMA (International Maxi Association) cruiser / racer category. 

Southern Wind 94 - Salon

The superyachts weight has been kept to an absolute minimum by using a carbon sandwich hull and infusion technique. The internal furnishings will also be made of carbon with a nomex core.

The SW94 can be customised on deck with even more race orientated configurations and the choice of a lifting keel which can be fixed or lifting. The layout of the yacht is tyical of all southern Wind yachts with a spacious central salon seperating the crew quaterers aft from the guest cabins forward which inlcude one cabin with twin beds, one with bunk beds and the owners cabin forward.
