One of four Nauta 65’s built in by the Italian CNB Fano builder at N.Y.T.E.C.O. yard, to designs by Bruce Farr and with interiors by Cantieri Mostes in Genoa, SOUTH WIND (originally named LADY O) was conceived as a stylish luxury bluewater cruiser to take her first owner in comfort, safety and at speed. Easy to manoeuvre thanks to her well carefully considered winch layout, she has a comfortable centre cockpit that guests can enjoy while under sail and a custom easy to access engine room designed by Nauta as requested from the first owner.

Benefitted from a recent comprehensive refit under the supervision of the current owner and at a cost in excess of Euro 140,000, SOUTH WIND has seen only light summer use since. Her specification highlights include:-
