Behind the scenes of Nauta's groundbreaking design for Southern Wind 105GT Taniwha

- Fourth and lightest version of the Southern Wind 105 hull
- ‘Gran turismo’ styling creates sleeker deck profile
- Careful use of natural materials for a clean, cosy feel
- Floating furniture to reveal hull lines below

Nauta Design has showcased the depth of its design skills in the brand-new Southern Wind 105GT, Taniwha, one of the stars of the recent Monaco Yacht Show. Delivered this summer, she has just had her first public outing and collected plaudits from across the sector.

It was a particularly challenging project because it meant interpreting the owners brief by adding customizations to the versatile SW105 platform and Southern Wind proved to be the right shipyard to master this challenge at best. The Milan-based studio had already drawn the deck lines and designed the interior for the previous three hulls in this Southern Wind’s ‘smart custom’ line series.
