After what feels like weeks of waiting, we are finally putting some miles under the keel again. We're on our way to Guna Yala (the San Blas islands), sailing upwind along the North coast of Panama. We haven't done a great deal of upwind sailing on this voyage so far, but that's about to change - Antigua is 1000 miles directly upwind, and the Caribbean trade winds are strong, squally, and often bring big seas. Today is good practice for us, beating into a relatively comfortable 15 - 18 knots with moderate seas, 2 reefs in, 5 - 6 kn boat speed, and ironing out all sorts of little issues that come up.
Something new and exciting is coming stemming from the DNA of Southern Wind. SW100X, an "Allseas" fast-cruiser will combine all the knowledge and experience gained from the construction of nearly 40 performance sailing yachts in the 90-110 feet range. This exciting new project will complement the Southern Wind range of yachts that includes the successful SW96, SW108 and SW120. The new SW100X represents an evolution of the acclaimed SW100 and SW102 miniseries that marked Southern Wind’s success and leadership in the creation of 30m performance sailing superyachts. Stay tuned for much more to come. https://www.sws-yachts.com/
