Worth knowing
Southern Wind Shipyard; cover, cost and conditions
Southern Wind builds semi custom sailing yachts between 25 and 35 metres in carbon sandwich in Cape Town, performance cruisers with racing genes and a high standard of fit out. The yachts are sailed worldwide, many of them in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
With yachts that move between continents, the cruising range is the central agreement: worldwide applies without restriction, but delivery passages across the Atlantic must be reported in advance, and salvage cover should match the distance. Carbon brings the material surcharge. For sums insured above 2.5 million euros, underwriting is handled personally, so please call us.

parts are available and repair costs are predictable.
