Delivered: SouthernWind SW102DS Sloop "Hevea"

SouthernWind Shipyard delivers 2nd SW102DS "Hevea"​

"Hevea" is the latest sailing to be completed by Southern Wind Shipyard. She is also the 40th yacht and the second in the new SW 102DS line. The new Southern Wind 102 DS Hevea sails under her red gennaker in Cape Town’s waters, showing at a glance her beauty and her strong personality, shaped by her owner, a businessman with a passion for comics. Launched in late February 2013, Hevea is getting ready to leave for her maiden voyage of 7500 nm from South Africa to Genoa (Italy), a unique test for the boat.

Hevea is designed by the same trusted team that has penned many other SW models: Nauta Yacht Design for the general design, deck and interior design and Farr Yacht Design for the naval architecture, sail plan and appendages. The style of the interior, one of Hevea's main features, is at the same time essential and modern: the cerusé oak together with the carbon details create a special atmosphere on board, both during the day and the night time. Hevea’s owner chose to customize his yacht, while respecting Southern Wind Shipyard’s “classical roots” with regard to the interior layout: Hevea’s master and VIP cabins are afore, the guest cabin amidships and the crew part astern. Hevea will be officially presented as a world première during the forthcoming Monaco Yacht Show,which will be held in Monaco from the 25th to the 28th September 2013.
