Crossbow is the fifth unit in the SW102 miniseries and the third in the Raised Saloon version at Southern Wind. The yacht is designed by the same team that has penned many other SW models: Nauta Yacht Design for general arrangement plan and interior design, Farr Yacht Design for naval architecture, sail plan and appendages and Southern Wind’s in-house design team for detail design and systems. Crossbow is ideal for cruising, having a spacious deck, a tender garage for a 4,2 meter dinghy and a mainsail sheet single point with captive winch.

Combining the best features of a Flush Deck and Deck Saloon configuration, the design of this SW102 RS yacht blends a sleek deckhouse and uncluttered lines with higher ceilings and 270° panoramic windows.
Dinning on deck
The interior follows Southern Wind Shipyard’s “owner’s cabin fore” layout and has a new lighter and brighter look. The yacht’s interiors see light bleached oak paneling set off by walnut stainless steel details, upholstery is in an off white and coral red color scheme. The main saloon and spacious studio are a single open space, subtly separated from the owner’s private area. The crew quarters aft feature a crew mess and working galley separated easily by just closing a door.

Crossbow – Tender Garage, sporting a dinghy
A tender garage aft hosts a 4,2m dinghy. The yacht has been exhibited at the Monaco Yacht Show 2017, and now, when I’m publishing this article, it is still for sale for a mighty €8,680,000.
Crossbow was among the finalists of the 2017 edition of the World Superyacht Awards, where she competed in the “Sailing Yachts 30m to 40m” category, which counted among its participants the 130 footer Baltic “My Song” and the 115 footer by Nautor Swan “Shamanna”.
