5. ACCOMMOCATION
Guests are particularly attracted to the yacht by the interior layout, a large cabin forward and the two guest cabins amidships – maximising the beam of the yacht for space and location in the middle of the yacht for comfort at sea.
The two guest cabins aft both with en-suite are another plus due to the fact that the guests in these two cabins have identical accommodation.
The separate crew area means that the crew have real opportunities to relax and rest – something not often found on a yacht of this size.

14. COMMENTS
Built in 2005 by Southern Wind Shipyard in Cape Town, SI VIS PACEM (previously known as FAR AWAY 2005 – 2007) is an 80ft performance cruising yacht. The carbon composite construction gives the yacht a responsive and enjoyable performance whilst an interior equipped with all modern luxuries means that the owner and guests can relax after sailing in a high level of comfort.
SI VIS PACEM is a proven charter yacht in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Pacific with MCA Cat 2 (SCV) Certification. With a gross charter fee of €25,000 W Med Terms (Summer 2017), she offers an owner the opportunity to purchase a yacht with proven charter potential.
Continuously upgraded and maintained to a high standard (by the same captain from 2007-2015), SI VIS PACEM is a yacht for the owner looking for fast, enjoyable sailing and passage making combined with comfort and good looks

15. PERFORMANCE
During the ARC 2007, SI VIS PACEM won line honours out of the 225 yachts entered. The 2,760nm transatlantic took just over 11 days, averaging 10.4knots. Throughout this voyage, the 7 crew operated watches with only two persons on deck at a time, demonstrating that the yacht can be sailed shorthanded, fast and in a safe and seamanlike manner.
From the Galapagos Islands to the Marquesas in April 2010, a passage of 3,025nm, SI VIS PACEM averaged 9.5knots for the 13 day sail.
All engine hours correct as of 2nd of May 2018. Specification and measurements provided in good faith and are known to be accurate by the owner, but should be checked by the broker. E&OE.
