SW108 hybrid

A tantalising view of a new hybrid project from Southern Wind hints at a new philosophy balancing luxury and sustainability. Billed as ‘smart custom’ design by the South African shipyard, the new project has been penned by Nauta and Farr Yacht Design for performance.

It will offer electric propulsion drawing power from a large battery bank. Behind that sits IMO Tier Iii-compliant diesel generation and hydro generation, which harvests significant energy from the water as the boat sails. It is enough to offer hours of silent cruising under power with zero emissions.

Other features will include an ultra-wide beach club aft.
