aggressively tapered below the bearing level and for reaching and running, foil sections biased towards lower drag at low angles of attack are used,’ Schmicker says. ‘Super ellipse sections are used in the bulb shape to minimise wetted surface for the designed bulb weight. Since Taniwha is optimised for lighter winds, a single rudder configuration was chosen by the owner because it gives better feedback to the helmsman and has higher efficiency in light winds than the twin rudder configuration of the other SouthernWind 105s.’
The gracefully curved coamings are also practical – a secure, comfortable place to perch at steep angles of heel
Deck plan and exterior styling The key aspect of Taniwha’s strong and unique visual appeal is a completely new deck design and layout, conceived by Nauta Design to meet the owner’s brief. Compared to the previous (deck saloon and raised saloon) SouthernWind 105model variants, this GT version has a wider cockpit area on a single level. The helmpositions have beenmoved closer to the gunwales for better views forward and aloft. ‘This new deck design has an

innovative and clean look that is driven by themethods of composite construction and by racing yacht styling,’ saysMassimo Gino, co- founder andmanaging partner of Nauta Design. ‘We think it will be a
successful new design concept because it rests on a solid base of concepts which are the expression of a pure design.’ ‘The new GT deck design also
contains a very original feature: a solid teak coaming that joins seamlessly to the hull side then bends to run parallel to the deck and looks as if it is floating on the inward- facing side of the deck. Its smooth outer radius creates a comfortable bench that runs the length of the yacht, which looks visually light by day and evenmore special in the evening when a hidden rope of LED lights is switched on.’ The deck plan includes Reckmann
hydraulic furling gear on the bow, seven skylight hatches on the completely flush foredeck, transverse tracks for the headsail inhaulers and four halyard winches clustered around the foot of themast. There’s a below-deck captive winch and through-deck traveller for the mainsheet, and four primary winches for headsail sheets, offwind sail sheets and runners aremounted on the coamings aft of the twin helms. Forward of themainsheet, the passenger cockpit is well separated fromthe working cockpit and completely free of lines, yet it still feels like part of the same space. The minimalist superstructure is
