COMMENTS:

Illusion of the Isles is a 30.2m sloop sailing yacht with a displacement hull, built by the Southern Wind Shipyard.  Nauta Yachts was responsible for her beautiful exterior styling and interior design, and engineering by Farr Yacht Design.

Sailing yacht ILLUSION OF THE ISLES is a Southern Wind SW 100 DS superyacht launched in Cape Town in 2006. She is the second hull built in a successful series of performance orientated yachts which were designed by Farr Yacht Design with a powerful sail plan and comfortable yet high performance hull lines.

In the words of Southern Wind: "The SW 100 DS combines styling and performance, with reliability and safety for comfort and peace of mind during long blue water sailing."

This blue water cruiser combines the advanced composite construction techniques with the traditional carpentry of Southern Wind Shipyard, and is the ideal choice for both family use and luxury charter.

The deck plan of the SW 100 ILLUSION OF THE ISLES has been designed to allow easy sailing and comfort for both the crew and guests. The steering system of two-wheel pedestals grant an excellent visibility to the helmsman thus making the aft cockpit an ideal manoeuvring space, while a large sun-bathing area next to the central cockpit allows plenty of room for relaxing and socializing on deck.

Main Sail, primary and secondary winches are hydraulically operated. As well as most of the major functions on the SW 100 DS, such as the Passerelle, the anchor arm or the transom door which in the open position becomes a practical swimming or boarding platform.

In sailing yacht ILLUSION OF THE ISLES Nauta Design has used their Italian styling to create an interior that is both elegant, functional and comfortable. The lay-out features a clear separation between the crew quarter and the guests' and the owner's area.

The SW 100 DS ILLUSION OF THE ISLES is the second of a successful mini-series produced by Southern Wind Shipyard.
