Southern Wind Shipyard Yachts

About Southern Wind Shipyard Yachts

Southern Wind Shipyard is a luxury yacht builder located in Cape Town, South Africa. The focus of this builder is solely in the sailing luxury yacht category. Most of the builds range in size from 22 to 35 Meters. With a full staff of 320 people, Southern Wind Shipyard has plenty of talent and experience in new sail construction. The use of composite materials, new technology, and expert craftsmanship makes SWS the prime Sail yacht builder of South Africa.

Even though SWS has plenty of talent they are not afraid to look for inspiration in other design firms. An example of this is the Farr 72 series, designed by the Farr Yacht Design firm. Shortly after, SWS would partner with Farr Yacht Design once again to create the sailing superyacht series SW 102. This model was a huge success and put SWS on the map in 2012.
