South African yacht builder Southern Wind Shipyard launched the first of its new miniseries cruiser-racer yachts this week as the 96’ sailing yacht Sorceress hit the water in Cape Town harbour.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165066/image/large-4e3f0640a15883a46f11f32ce1bb0721.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165066">The yacht was built for a passionate sailor who is also the owner of an 80-foot custom carbon racer and was looking for a larger yacht that would suit both transoceanic and coastal races as well as blue water cruising. The design teams of Farr Yacht Design and Nauta Design created the SW96 miniseries with these exact requirements in mind, incorporating race-boat features together with comfortable features into a high-performance package.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165067/image/large-361a983c2a029fc89213cae4cfc8aefd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165067">Following the completion of her sea trials, Sorceress will make her way to the Mediterranean where she is to compete in the 2017 Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in her first race. She will also be on display at the Monaco Yacht Show later that same month.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165068/image/large-ec27a110cb394b6fed7f980ef2b18bc9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165068">Souther Wind is currently building the second unit of the SW96 series and will be ready for launch in January 2018.

Moreover, the vessel is fitted with a hybrid propulsion system, consisting of both mechanical and electric power, which is supported by a high-capacity battery bank for reduced fossil fuel consumption.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362865/image/large-62319c7264810411e25346c7357987fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362865">One of the superyacht’s most defining traits is her emphasis on outdoor living, as 50 percent of the overall volume is occupied by open-air spaces and wellness areas. Her full-beam aft gym opens onto a generous swim platform which transforms into a beach club, equipped with folding terraces and a central Jacuzzi. Additionally, the gym is decked out in an infrared sauna that can be accessed from the main deck and the seaside.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362863/image/large-042eab603141612edac40adecd9a9094.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362863">Further exterior amenities onboard the yacht include her veranda-style lounge, comprising a shaded, ventilated indoor-outdoor space, and her panoramic lounge situated on the foredeck, serving as an ideal vantage point for guests when she is underway.Moving indoors, the project’s interiors are characterised by their fluidity and openness, and are the product of a collaboration between Francesca Muzio of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura D’Interni</a> and the owners. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362862/image/large-c72804c61a3e0d9646bcbbfa72c949fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362862">The main deck is home to a discreet transverse staircase as opposed to a classic central spiral staircase, ensuring more unity between the main salon and dining area. Meanwhile, the dining area also offers alfresco dining by the sea, which can be accessed via the push of a button.Positioned amidships, the owner’s suite benefits from a structural balcony that invites the owner to step outside after simply sliding a door open. Remaining guests are accommodated on the lower deck, where five spacious staterooms can be found.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362870/image/large-c5246d3e7c1b5551f61bb3c85b31fc4a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362870">“We are delighted with the collaboration among all parties—the owners, Francesca Muzio, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.

Both the yacht’s exterior and interior make use of loose furniture hailing from Italian designers including Poltrona Frau and B&amp;B Italia. For these pieces, the same neutral upholstery has been utilised and further augmented with a dash of natural colour, as demonstrated in a sage-coloured cushion or blue woven blanket, for instance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359544/image/large-b24aa37b64399fc5cf3ca4d72f7f7675.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359544">Each room is composed of focal points, such as the backlit slab of Turkish marble present by the dining room table, or the curated pieces from the owner’s private collection of art, comprising paintings, sculpture and objects. In addition, the waves of the ocean are represented through rippled liquid metal panels, which increase the dark-light contrast of other materials.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359543/image/large-12c2e04f17d59e1a7790d6ac236adf77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359543">Lighting is also at the heart of the GX42 yacht’s interior design, as floor-to-ceiling &nbsp;windows on the main deck ensure natural lighting, and Italy’s Ultra Luce have imagined several subtle direct and indirect lighting techniques for an array of moods and atmospheres. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359542/image/large-9320be1b056fc66b0cd2238b63c94148.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359542">As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Casali</a> explained, “This is no showboat for flexing the muscles.

The development will include thousands of new seafront apartments, office spaces, retail areas and a hotel.&nbsp;A key feature of the revitalised district is the new superyacht marina, which aims to position Fredrikstad as a prime destination for visiting superyachts and expedition cruise ships navigating Scandinavian waters.Phase one of the marina officially opened in spring 2025 and currently offers berths for yachts up to 50 metres in length. The facility is ISPS compliant and provides a full range of amenities for yacht owners, guests and crew.&nbsp;Future development phases will expand the marina’s capacity to accommodate superyachts up to 100 metres in length.Situated in a region rich with maritime history and natural beauty, Fredrikstad provides a unique setting for yacht visitors. The city is renowned for its well-preserved fortress town and offers access to the Hvaler archipelago and national park, which are best explored by boat. Fredrikstad also enjoys a relatively mild southern climate and boasts a lively cultural scene and nightlife.

Described by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2049" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ghost Yachts (Company)">Ghost Yachts</a> founder Björn Moonen as “a seamless blend of the G180X’s lean, mean and clean ethos with cutting-edge technology”, the new model offers bespoke customisation options for owners.The G212 features a low-profile exterior defined by clean lines and balanced proportions. Composed with an aluminium hull and superstructure, her design is complemented by large hull windows running nearly the entire length of the vessel, flooding the lower deck staterooms with natural light.The G212 is designed to accommodate 12 guests and 12 crew, with five VIP guest staterooms positioned aft on the lower deck and a full-beam owner’s suite located forward of amidships. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363384/image/large-84665c26741d7854341329ee95c1298f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363384">Crew circulation has been reconfigured entirely, with operational efficiency and guest privacy in mind. The vessel is designed to comply with the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code and includes a one-man-bridge configuration.Her main deck saloon features full-height glazing and connects directly to a spacious aft deck. Below this, a beach club and wellness area are situated at water level, while a more intimate saloon and dining area is located on the accommodation deck, flanked by fold-out balconies for indoor-outdoor entertaining.The bridge deck offers a secluded setting for private dining and lounging, while the forward sunken foredeck includes a motorised canopy, a feature first introduced on Ghost Yachts’ earlier G250 project. As well as this, a 6.3-metre Castoldi Jet tender is cleverly housed beneath the foredeck, accessed via a concealed knuckle crane.According to McDiarmid, the project is the result of a collaborative design process, integrating feedback from brokers and responding to evolving market demands. “Design excellence starts with the owner-adaptable general arrangement, advanced naval architecture and a fully styled package from stem to stern,” he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363387/image/large-6e8552043c8d9b7ff6808571a2bed64f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363387">The G212 is built on a completely new platform featuring an updated Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a>.
