The carbon bluewater cruiser with hybrid propulsion | Southern Wind 96 tour | Yachting World

[@Ian-gf8id]

The deck and rig are impressive, but the interior is absolutely knockout. Awesome boat from Southern Wind.

[@cestusfr]

Southern Wind yachts are pure beauties! I love them so much. Thank you for sharing this with us. ^___^ Have a fantastic weekend!

[@yachtingworld]

Thank you!

[@paulgilliland2992]

I was about to start a bring back Toby campaign and he pops up with another gorgeous yacht.

[@yachtingworld]

Thanks Paul! It's been a hectic few weeks of shows and trials - but plenty of video content coming up... just trying to edit them!

[@barrygoffe]

Fantastic! One of the coolest boats you've reviewed for us. Awesome tech and pleasing style. Absolutely dream worthy!!! Thanks!!!

[@yachtingworld]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Alex-kp2db]

This is really nice. The people who built this did a great job!!!

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Incredible design ..... beautiful

[@riddlerandsa8161]

Sounds like they are finally getting hybrid tech right. Congrats to SW.

[@cilldublin07]

saw her in cape town in march being commisioned fab looking boat from a distance

[@RickSherman007]

Okay. That is beautiful

[@eddiezorro1]

Absolutely Beautiful.

[@johnny_123b]

Can't imagine the wealth for someone to own such a boat

[@fukkyoutube]

and to keep it as a toy cause you know the owner wont live aboard

[@adit1001able]

Come join mining in India and take 1 million a year home.

[@jerehada]

Cyprus registered and South African links 🤔

[@docjeffry]

Thanks for the tour. I need one of these.

[@AxelF21]

Cool yacht, thanks for the review!👍👍

[@Rubbernecker]

Stunning.

[@RagHelen]

You can see the true level of sophistication of buyers of luxury boats in the typography of the ship's name. Newly rich chaps all along.

[@imid-ltd]

Hi Toby, from where I sit, cool calming low light settings would really work for me! I'm constantly trying to minimize screen time at my workstation where bright light is unavoidable, so low light settings in my world do exist, but usually only as ambience.Thank you for your refreshing introduction and cool clips!

[@yachtingworld]

A pleasure, thank you!

[@JWnFlorida]

Beautiful build.

[@markperry7842]

Awesome yacht. I also like the SW 108. Thank you for the tour. 😎⛵️

[@yachtingworld]

👍

[@delphipascal]

Seems like Toby gets wheeled out for the really nice yachts these days ;)

[@billycosta3203]

Great video Toby! Thanks

[@yachtingworld]

My pleasure!

[@mikewagar8631]

[@taooo1232]

Amazing boat ! Very impressed ! What’s the selling price at ?

[@Silvius.2]

Nice clean sleak yacht..

[@Fr3DDy73]

SWs boats are really true miracles

[@montyzebisch1324]

Always enjoy Toby's videos. My god what did he do to get this gig? Must be nice.

[@yachtingworld]

👍 Thanks - a lot of long days and little money to show for it but it has it's moments! T

[@Cinarli1979]

Sağolun! Umarım sizden daha sık yelkenli incelemesi gelir.

[@Skippernick1957]

Amazing what they build in South Africa, as good as any yard in the world. Cost?

[@jansjoblom1602]

We're you able to have test sailing with this also?

[@qizang1320]

beautiful,and how much

[@WickedLive]

Not sure what frame rate youre filming at or what else could cause it but there was a lot of blur while panning around the kitchen. Might be better to shoot in 60 for these tours rather than 24/30 if youre getting blur in those hasty movements? Just a thought!

[@marccohen5477]

That's a boat I think I could live on.

[@adrianrubi5012]

I like this kind of length. Maybe stable enough for the Pacific.

[@SailingwithScott]

well done

[@oj5184]

Silent running through the night presumably with AC running, then full galley load in the morning for guests, only then when you motor do you need to charge for 20 minutes to get from 20% to 80% whilst there is power being drawn for anchoring/manoeuvring etc and only one generator available for charge (presuming the 2nd is solely for drive)? Surely there’s either a battery bank the size of a family house hidden in that boat somewhere or some dubious numbers being used here! What is the bank capacity?

[@Lamanguita]

beauty!!!!💌

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Interesting. Sounds like a serial hybrid then.

[@jadams3427]

'Reckon I could have a couple of these when I sell my Mirror dinghy.

[@yachtingworld]

Can't put a price/value on a good ol' Mirror!

[@nasosnasos8054]

Price?

[@JoeB1207]

Let’s be specific. There is unsealed plywood at every single turn. At this price the stringers are likely glued in and not laid up. The status of the stringers must become the FIRST data point. Followed by plywood and stainless steel nails, or not.

[@arindampaul1279]

What would be the price?

[@jamieadams7550]

How much I’ll buy her now

[@billbogg3857]

Am I missing something… You have a bank of batteries for the hybrid motor with seawater acting as a conductor in the event of flooding. Added to that is the carbon fibre . It seems like a massive fire risk to me.

[@angela1984a]

I don't think those batteries will burn if flooded. Also: How often does boats like these that are being handled by a professional crew get flooded?...

[@tincoffin]

@@angela1984a Salt water is an extremely good conductor of electricity, better than fresh water. Also, water does not put out an electrical fire. Not sure I would trust it. Remember the saying 'worse things happen at sea. ' ?. To me it means that any accident on dry land is even more likely to happen on water.

[@angela1984a]

@@tincoffin In 2021, there were around 174,000 highway vehicle fires reported in the United States. How many __sailing__ superyachts that were handled by a professional crew caught on fire in 2021?...

[@tincoffin]

@@angela1984a Well now that you have mentioned it, I am far more worried than I was before. I thought of it just as a possibility now a quick perusal of You Tube shows seven in the last year! One in Devon, UK, one in Red Sea, Egypt, one in Formentera, Spain, two in US one in a marina at Fort Lauderdale and one off the coast of New Hampshire. As a proportion of the total number of Superyachts worldwide this seems a remarkable figure. When I started sailing, fires were usually caused by a build-up of carbon monoxide in the bilges, someone left the gas on. I doubt that is much of a cause these days with automatic bilge pumps and electrical detectors. Almost all I would guess have professional crews; something is going on.

[@angela1984a]

@@tincoffin Insurance fraud?... ;-)

[@TB12710]

I would really like to see what kind of yacht they could create by eliminating all the bathrooms, imo living on a boat is different from living on land so again imo they need to eliminate land comforts that imo aren’t needed at sea. There are too many bathrooms and showers on yachts, eliminating most of them will create larger sleeping berths for the owners guests and crew. The owners and their guests need a bath/head and the crew needs a bath/head. Two bath/heads maximum per boat no matter if it’s a 50 foot yacht or a 96 foot yacht, draw it up SW, I’m sure you’ll see my point and a new future in yachting will be born, one that eliminates waste, and turns that waste into larger common areas and sleeping berths for all sailing on the vessel.

[@yachtingworld]

Yes some yachts have started to do just that lately, particularly light weight or minimalist French designs. However, it's horses for courses, particularly at this large custom/semi-custom size where owners have what they want and that probably involves wanting a private bathroom for themselves and their guests!

[@jbuckley2546]

My owners briefs are y-fronts.

[@jamessutherland2077]

im looking at a turbo on a cumnins center line why again ?

[@1975Per]

No way it charges the batteries 100% in 20minutes. Someone lied to you.

[@yachtingworld]

I didn't say 100% - maybe up to 80% though

[@1975Per]

@@yachtingworld LFP batteries (which I think it is, since on a boat, or its alot riskier, should never ever have Tesla type batteries on a boat) should be charged at 0.2C or max 0.5C, so that's 2 to 5hrs, and you can do that to basically 95-98% and then just a bit of tail current. 20min to 80% in LFP is impossible/not safe/you break/degrade them drastically.

[@barking.dog.productions1777]

they spent more time on fake comments than the actual tour

[@yachtingworld]

Who do you mean by 'they' and what are the 'fake comments'?

2000 kg pro Meter Länge, bisschen schwer für ein Carbonschiff

Ah, the very expensive and salty Wave-drive Washing Machine™ to throw anyone still standing overboard. I continue to wonder how, after decades of Vendée Globe boats having protected cockpits, stuff like this continues to be built. 🤦🏻‍♂

[@aggonzalezdc]

That you need to crawl in on your stomach to get into the engine room on a 96 footer is ridiculous. This whole boat is silly.
