SW96 NYUMBA

With hull lines penned by Farr Yacht Design, this high-performance superyacht and hybrid sailboat will have a full carbon hull and prepreg side and foredeck. Lifting keel, twin rudder configuration, carbon rigging and an upgraded hydraulic winches package are just some of the ingredients that emphasise the sporty soul of Nyumba. A tender garage for a 4.5m tender and a customised extra large swimming platform make for better comfort and enjoyment at sea.

SW96#04 has the sleek and elegant lines of the GT deck configuration, specially designed to meet the client’s requests. Massimo Gino of Nauta Design, responsible for the yacht’s exterior and interior design, explains: “Nyumba deck design is the evolution of the successful GT deck concept, already applied on the newly launched SW105 GT Taniwha with several details that have been designed specifically to meet the owner’s request. Clear, uncluttered deck equipment positioning allows for easy circulation on board and the mainsail track and steering positions are completely new. The GT styling makes everything look breath-taking in its simplicity and lightness“.

 Comfortable and cosy, Nyumba interiors feature Southern Wind’s owner cabin forward layout with two comfortable guest cabins amidships and crew quarters and galley aft. Her main saloon is a light, bright open space that will be customised to meet the needs posed by clients’ live-aboard use of the yacht. The volumes of a fourth cabin are devoted to a comfortable TV area with an extra lounging sofa.

Hybrid sailboat SW96#04 is currently under construction at our shipyard in Cape Town, with hull sides and bottom outer skin lamination completed. Delivery of Southern Wind Shipyard’s first hybrid sailboat is scheduled for January 2023.
