Further details have been revealed about SW 105 Taniwha, with a larger skylight in the saloon allowing for a huge quantity of natural light below decks Following her delivery voyage to Europe, Southern Wind\u2019s fourth 105, SW 105 Taniwha has been revealed in all her glory. Yachting World has covered details of her lightweight build before. Suffice to say that performance was a cornerstone of the design.
\nAs Taniwha will spend 90% of her time cruising in the Mediterranean, the newly-revealed interior will come into its own. Nauta has continued the low-profile lines of the exterior below deck, and brought out the hull\u2019s curves in the large saloon and three double cabins.
\n\u201cWe put a fantastic skylight in the saloon, which is a real element of the interior design because it allows for a huge quantity of natural light flooding in,\u201d says Nauta\u2019s Luca Pedol. \u201cThere\u2019s a teak frame around the skylight, which raises the perception of space.\u201d
\nIn the cabins, the beds appear to float, as do the lockers fixed directly to the side of the hull. \u201cThey are more functional, more beautiful and they show the hull shape, instead of hiding it,\u201d Pedol explains.
\nThere\u2019s widespread use of teak below deck, just as there is above. It has been desaturated and oil-treated to create an appealing finish. \u201cIt is lovely,\u201d says Nauta\u2019s Massimo Gino. \u201cWarm but bright, easy on the eye and soft to the touch. The combination of the light flooring and the fabric-covered wall panels gives brightness to the interior.\u201d
