(Company)">Nauta Design</a>, along with naval architecture crafted by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/152" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Farr Yacht Design (Company)">Farr Yacht Design</a>. According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/151" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Wind (Company)">Southern Wind</a>, she “will be the lightest performance cruiser in its range, delivering the perfect balance between high-performance and comfort.”&nbsp;As was the case with the builder’s SW108 Smart Custom yacht model, the SW123 sailing yacht is available in several keel configurations, sail plans, deck configurations (GT, X-Crossover) and interior layouts, depending on the owner's needs.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351633/image/large-a991dd6741336cb0c261c412933043c1.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351633">The SW123 yacht’s hull shape has been imagined to host a twin rudder configuration in conjunction with either a lifting or telescopic keel, amounting to a draft of 3.85-metres with the keel raised."The generously wide aft sections and transom of the SW123 allow for more internal volume and deck area. This ample width is carefully balanced with extra volume in the forward sections to ensure the yacht remains in control with a level fore-and-aft trim when sailing at typical upwind heel angle,” Jim Schmicker of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/152" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Farr Yacht Design (Company)">Farr Yacht Design</a> explained. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351632/image/large-9acdadfdd4ea0e0311710d0fa30bb68c.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351632">Thanks to the yacht’s notably wide aft cockpit, two transom configurations are permitted. One such configuration is the twin-fold transom system, which converts the SW123’s aft section into a beach club plus a tender and toy garage that can house a nine-person tender of 5.35-metres. Meanwhile, the “Seaside Lounge” transom design provides a larger beach club and swim platform, paving the way for a more flexible lounge area."The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/151" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Wind (Company)">Southern Wind</a> 123 embodies the smart custom concept, offering a refined platform that allows for tailored deck geometry designs and interior styles to customise each yacht according to the owners desire and vision, while maintaining a proven structure. In this size range, its versatility in exterior architecture and styling, and in the interior functions, ensures a high-end yachting experience,” commented Massimo Gino of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351631/image/large-2c666e840cc5ced00ab6c68e3d64541e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351631">Accommodation-wise, the SW123 yacht includes four guest staterooms, while a social area forward of the saloon connects the living and dining spaces with a TV lounge. Moreover, each of her guest staterooms can be imagined as multifunctional, serving as an onboard studio with a dayhead or a gym or sauna.The SW123’s main saloon is a single open space for 10 guests to unwind on the sofa, or for eight to 10 guests to enjoy meals at the dining table. When it comes to the crew area, the space can house five to six members in three ensuite cabins.&nbsp;Regarding her propulsion, the SW123 sailing yacht is available with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4531" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="International Maritime Organization (Company)">IMO</a> Tier III compliant traditional Diesel Propulsion, or can be constructed with a serial hybrid power and propulsion system with an integrated high-voltage energy storage system. She is slated to launch in February 2027.&nbsp;

"Our extensive expertise ensures unparalleled quality, utilizing advanced sandwich composite construction with epoxy-based vinylester resin and vacuum infusion techniques. Additionally, unidirectional carbon reinforcements are strategically placed in high-stress areas, as well as along the stringers and structural floors,” Corazza added. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345082/image/large-6db0ff55ccab5008ab79489de8aabedf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345082">The GS Plus 80 LC’s hull is characterised by narrow bow sections that allow easy entry in the water despite the conditions of the sea. Moving to her aft, these lines gradually widen in order to accommodate the volume below deck, paving the way for comfort as well as high performance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345083/image/large-8b6cddc34c4e858dc37ffb7b6b8b4557.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345083">One of the most noteworthy elements of the sailing yacht’s naval architecture is the inclusion of twin rudders coupled with a telescopic keel on this first unit, offering a variable draft from 2.8-metres to 4.8-metres. The twin rudders are developed to maintain control even if the vessel heels, through precise handling at the helm. Should owners want a more traditional configuration, the Grand Soleil Plus 80 is also available in a single-rudder form.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345084/image/large-08e0683b5524840c0316243205eccabf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345084"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8039" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matteo Polli Yacht Design (Company)">Matteo Polli</a> commented: “Designing the hull lines for an 80-foot yacht is a challenging task, made even more complex by the variety of system configurations an owner might choose. For the Grand Soleil Plus 80 Long Cruise, we focused on keeping the centre of gravity as low as possible, optimising the placement of all major systems. The hull was engineered to provide stability both at full load, with tanks and systems at maximum capacity, and in lighter configurations.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345085/image/large-77d16f792b99a4021ab465932eb848c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345085">The yacht’s sailing plan comprises a carbon mast and boom, which serve as the technological core of the rig. The V-boom aims to simplify mainsail handling to make maneuovers more achievable with limited crew members.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345087/image/large-a1d797aa36cec194205592c06755e60a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345087">Meanwhile, the Grand Soleil Plus 80 Long Cruise’s fixed bowsprit contains dual gennakers: a traditional nylon gennaker for light winds, along with a furling gennaker with an anti-torsion cable, attached to the anchor sprit fitting. There is also an option to include a furling code zero and a staysail, with an optional second forestay for a storm jib.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345088/image/large-d8c85671e5c47a5f2ac484e38c87906a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345088"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l.

Remaining staterooms can be arranged as doubles or twin single beds, which can also be transformed into Pullman-style beds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345097/image/large-12eb080d45bd65a154bc9ffec47ce403.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345097"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345095/image/large-ddbf5b512c2b7f420a2a834bdfef1de0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345095"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345096/image/large-4497aad25da4c0b85d7142232c0b31a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345096">Among the GS Plus 80 LC’s most standout features is her expansive saloon, where the dining area on the starboard side faces a L-shaped sofa, from which guests can admire a panorama of views through the saloon windows. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345091/image/large-2836efc9451b5d41853cea6cc62bf9cb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345091"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345100/image/large-cfb9ffdee7a17fd7b19fecf28892e06f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345100">At the sailing yacht’s aft area, a double crew cabin compliments the second cabin located forward. A galley, and a chart table can also be found at the aft. The first unit of the series will not include a tender garage, instead allowing the space to be occupied by other technical purposes, such as a freezer or a washing machine.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345092/image/large-e7a1414ef0c009d9d99beca3cdd5e63a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345092"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345094/image/large-7174510043a0e423a48a604ee8bb227d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345094">As for her interiors, the Grand Soleil Plus 80 Long Cruise yacht may have her materials, colours, and finishes selected by the owner. The first unit is embellished with warm oak furnishings, in order to create a convivial yet modern ambiance. In addition, the bulkheads will be covered in high-quality textiles. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345086/image/large-92ec6806e64d10c3fe2c00b2ac9059c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345086">
