Seatius, the latest yacht to come out of the Southern Wind Shipyard in Cape Town, South Africa is a true bluewater thoroughbred. Unlike her sistership Sorceress, which was commissioned with racing in mind, the owners of Seatius have long distance cruising in their plans. While Sorceress has two separate cockpits with one large central sunbathing area and a more classical deck layout, Seatius has two lateral sunbathing areas divided by a central passageway that runs on one level so that guests don’t have to climb over coamings or furnishings. That’s where the differences end; what remains the same are the stunning sleek lines, powerful sail plan, and distinctive Southern Wind craftsmanship.
The general concept for Seatius was a collaboration between the world renown naval architects Farr Yacht Design along with Nauta Design, a bespoke design studio that has been involved with numerous Superyachts projects, both power and sail along with important input from Southern Wind, the builder. With the Farr office dominating the international racing scene for three decades one thing is abundantly clear; Seatius is not only a thoroughbred cruiser with distinct styling and immaculate construction, the yacht is also a high-performance sailboat that will take the owners from one destination to the next in very short order.
