Southern Wind Strikes a High Note with Its Largest Sailing Yacht Yet

In an electrifying announcement, leading South African shipyard Southern Wind has revealed its largest project to date - a 37.5-metre sailing yacht dubbed the SW123. This grand build is not just another ship in the fleet - it’s considered a groundbreaking entity in the world of yachting, an “entirely new, customisable platform” built for performance and perfection.

The design anchors itself in the reliable partnership between esteemed collaborators, Farr Yacht Design and Nauta Design, imparting to the SW123 not only size but finesse and functionality. Constructed at the acclaimed yard’s pristine facilities in Cape Town, the launch of this megayacht is set for February 2027.

The details that groom this yacht to perfection will be revealed as the build ambitiously sails towards its launch date. As per BOATPro reports, this is just one of the four yachts Southern Wind has on order; another mentionable build is the 35.4-metre Kiboko 4, which set sail for her sea trials in December 2024.
