A new innovation from Nauta Design, the twin-fold transom concept uses part of the yacht’s aft deck to effectively double the surface area of the bathing platform

refrigeration and AC systems have been fitted, with built-in redundancy and the ability to operate worldwide, in tropical water temperatures above 30°C and also near 0°C in high latitudes. The deck plan and interior layout, both
by Nauta Design, are also fully optimised for ocean cruising, Harvey says. ‘The deck, while showing a sleek line is very protective with its lower guest cockpit that will welcome owners, guests and children in a very well sheltered and safe
space behind the coachroof and dodger. The foredeck was also a focus of the designers’ attention with four winches at the mast step to safely handle all manoeuvres and a huge deck locker designed by the yard.’ ‘Our deck design achieves a balance in
offering big, comfortable and safe spaces,’ says Massimo Gino, founding partner of Nauta Design. ‘Spaces that can be transformed from 20 people eating in comfort around the cockpit tables into
GT Series deck and transom designs, which Nauta has evolved from those of SW105 Taniwha and SW96 Nyumba, and then worked with Gino’s team to customise them. ‘The colour and material scheme decisions drove several fine- tunings of the geometry to emphasise the design and the character of the deck,’ Gino says. ‘With Southern Wind we developed several transom/beach club and garage solutions. When the yacht is at anchor, the twin-fold transom concept gives guests on board a direct connection with the sea. By opening the aft portion of the deck together with the transom door, the swim platform doubles its surface area.’ The garage is designed to fit a 5.05m diesel jet tender. As the hull takes shape in Cape Town, at
Nauta’s design studio inMilan a great deal of work is now focused on the fine details of the yacht’s interior design. ‘We collected a very clear brief fromthe owners,’ Gino says. ‘Listening closely, as per our experience, is the first exercise in every design process. Immediately after this kick-offmeeting, we penciled down some key points. I think that this was the first of severalmoments in which we and the owners shared a common view of the interior style. Thousands of details thatmust live together in a clean and simple way.’ ‘Ambitions are very high,’ he explains.
The 108’s hull is designed for performance across a wide range of payloads 86 SEAHORSE
‘But allow us to say that the common view of style solutions is making this interaction flow easily with reciprocal satisfaction. Lighting, finally, has an important role on the interior design, with the natural light coming from generous hull windows and skylights and a conscious use of artificial lights allows to create the desired ambience for every occasion on board.’
