Built in Nautor’s Swan state-of-the-art yard in Pietarsaari, Finland, it is embellished by the acclaimed Genovese architect Misa Poggi’s three interior options and is available in two different layouts, with an owner-aft or owner-forward stateroom, along with three guest cabins. nautorswan.com SOUTHERN WIND, RP-NAUTA 100 MORGANA “During six weeks between the launch and the handover to her owner, we’ve fine-tuned the systems and honed the details. But, most of all, we have tested her by sailing in all weather conditions,” said Marco Alberti, Southern Wind’s general manager as the 30m custom yacht Morgana set sail from Cape Town on her maiden voyage to the Mediterranean, where her owner awaits. Nauta Design created the general design, exterior and interior, while Reichel/Pugh penned the naval architecture. sws-yachts.com ROYAL HUISMAN, WISP When delivered to her owner in Vollenhove, Netherlands, in 2014, Wisp, a 48m classic sloop, designed by Hoek Design Naval Architecture, with an interior by Rhoades Young, was a vessel to be envied – the epitome of a comfortable cruising yacht for great racing. Now, after a recent refit and maintenance works at Royal Huisman’s Amsterdam facilities, her increased performance capabilities will continue to capture the imagination. huisfit.com HANSE, MOODY DS41 The award-winning 12.52m sailing yacht produced in the Hanse yard in Greifswald, Germany, offers living space all on one deck – its the smallest production deck saloon yacht on the market, with a walk-around deck. The saloon has 360-degree panoramic views, the large sheltered cockpit has a ground-breaking free-floating roof on just four aluminium mullions and there are many more amenities. This small, but outstanding performer is made for true blue-water sailing. hanseyachtsag.com PHOTOS CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: EVA-STINA KJELLMAN, MICHAEL KURTZ, © HANSE, © SOUTHERN WIND SHIPYARD 32 CENTURION-MAGAZINE.COM
