Fortissimo

Fortissimo is a 30m carbon maxi built by Southern Wind in Cape Town, with naval architecture by Farr Yacht Design and styling by Nauta Design, launched in 2026. The sixth of the SW96 series, she features twin rudders, a deep lifting keel and high-modulus rigging tuned for competition. Commissioned by an experienced regatta sailor, Fortissimo takes her name from the musical term for fast and strong, and debuts at the 2026 Ibiza JoySail.
