Farfalla is a fascinating 31.78 metre sailing yacht
By Adrian Prisca
Updated on August 31, 2017
The winner of the prestigious Quality & Value Award at the 2015 World Superyacht Awards, Farfalla is a true sailing beauty, launched by the South African shipyard Southern Wind exactly one year ago, in May 2014. This splendid 31.78 superyacht is actually the third SW 102 to be completed, but it’s completely different from the other two vessels.
The owners of this gorgeous sailing yacht have been involved in the build-up process from start to finish, telling the designers exactly how their ideal sailing yacht should look like. They wanted an aesthetically pleasing yacht that was capable of bluewater sailing, with low noise levels, comfortable, elegant and featuring a layout that would be great for charter guests as well.
And that’s exactly how the Farfalla has been built, featuring naval architecture from Farr Yacht Design and an exclusive interior and exterior design courtesy of Nauta Yachts. The yacht could accommodate up to eight guests in four cabins, a spacious owner’s cabin located forwards and three guest cabins, plus a crew of up to nine in the crew quarters.
Inside, the yacht is warm and inviting thanks to the lovely combination of blues and whites, with light teak furniture and flooring. Thanks to the bright panoramic windows on the coach roof and the upper deck saloon, the whole ambiance is light and airy.
The unusually tall ceilings of Farfalla also contribute to this unique feeling of space and airy atmosphere. This was also a special request from the yacht’s owners who have a particularly tall family.
Outside, the expansive flush deck is one of the most interesting features of this yacht, providing more room to fully enjoy the outdoors and the sea. This sleek sailing yacht also comes with a tender garage that can house a small dinghy and a mainsail captive winch and this is actually the first time Southern Wind has added a tender garage to their yachts.
When it’s not driven by the breezes of air, Farfalla is also powered by a Cummins QSB 6.7 MCD diesel engine with 305 horsepower, more than enough to take this beauty to a top speed of 23 knots and a relaxing cruising speed of 9 knots.

9 Fascinating Facts About ‘Koru,’ Jeff Bezos’s Bonkers 410-Foot Sailing Superyacht
From its 250-foot support tender to its voluptuous wooden figurehead, the amazon founder's $500 million superyacht is full of surprises., howard walker, howard walker's most recent stories.
- Rolls-Royce Debuted the New Phantom Scintilla at Monterey Car Week. Here’s Everything We Know.

- These Slim New Catamarans Are Redefining the Category. Here’s How.
- Share This Article
According to the latest Forbes ‘s Real-Time Billionaires List, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is currently worth around $204 billion, making him the second-wealthiest person on the planet, just behind Tesla CEO Elon Musk .
So handing over an estimated $500 million for his 410-foot Koru , the world’s largest sailing yacht , another $75 million for Abeona , its 250-foot support vessel, and then paying the $30 million or so a year to cover running costs for both, should be well within his budget.
Bezos surprised the boating world when he opted for a classically styled, three-masted sailing yacht instead of some flashy mega motoryacht. And since taking delivery last year, he and his fiancé, Lauren Sánchez, have been using the yacht to cruise the world in style.
While secrecy still shrouds Koru , especially its interior and many of its technical features, we take a closer look at what makes it, arguably, the most interesting sailing superyacht in years.
Designed as a Modern Classic
Koru would never be described as sleek, or elegant even. But she does have a classical style. Designed by the Dutch masters at Dykstra Naval Architecture, the boat is distinguished by its towering navy-blue steel hull, snowy-white, two-level aluminum superstructure, sweeping canoe stern, and a trio of soaring masts. Her design inspiration is said to be the triple-masted schooner Eos , built by Germany’s Lürssen Yachts in 2006 for American media mogul Barry Diller. And, ignoring the current trend of oversized windows, Koru ‘s hull sides are dotted with traditional portholes with smaller-than typical windows for the upper decks (no doubt helping to protect guests from paparazzi lenses). Little is known about the yacht’s interior design, other than it’s the work of London-based Mlinaric, Henry and Zervudachi studio. Oceanco’s website describes the interior as a “timeless, contemporary style, with natural wood tones complemented by a palette of warm neutrals and beautifully patterned textiles.”
Claiming the Prize for Size
At 410 feet bow to stern and with a beam of 56 feet, Koru is the largest sailing yacht in the world. Some might argue the title should go to the 468-foot Sailing Yacht A . But that quirky, Philippe Stark–designed triple-master is considered a “sail-assisted motoryacht” rather than a true sailing yacht. Koru is also big inside, with a reported internal volume of 3,300 gross T=tons, that offers room for up to 18 guests in nine cabins and accommodations for a crew of 36.
A True Sailor
Full credit to Jeff Bezos for ignoring his fellow billionaires’ penchant for giant, diesel-guzzling superyachts. (Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently took delivery of his 387-foot Launchpad , powered by quadruple MTU engines packing a combined 23,400 hp.) With its giant, more-than-20,000-square-foot sail plan (including three mainsails and three, cutter-style headsails), Koru has been regularly photographed cruising under sail. It’s also believed the yacht is making an effort to focus on sustainability, from reports of it testing out a prototype kinetic energy recovery system that converts wave-induced motion into electrical energy. The vessel is also believed to feature a hybrid power system with large battery banks that run its systems at night while at anchor.
Its 250-Foot, $75 Million “Tender”
The challenge with sailing yachts, even one that’s 410 feet long, is that it’s nearly impossible to land a helicopter on the deck. So Bezos commissioned a 250-foot support vessel, named Abeona after the Roman goddess of travelers. The largest shadow vessel ever built by Holland’s Damen Yachting, this explorer comes with a rear-deck helipad and hangar big enough to accommodate an Airbus ACH-135 helicopter. There’s also space aboard for a small armada of water toys and tenders, plus accommodations below decks for up to 45 crew and support staff.
Carved Wooden Figurehead
Since Koru ‘s launch, speculation has been rife that the hand-carved figurehead perched beneath the yacht’s long bowsprit is a tribute to Bezos’s glamorous fiancé, Lauren Sánchez. But she brushed aside the suggestion by telling Vogue magazine that the figurehead was inspired by Freyja, the Norse goddess of love, fertility, war, and gold, which is reputedly one of Bezos’s favorite mythological figures.
Built Under Total Secrecy
Tasked with taking Koru from concept to reality was the superyacht builder Oceanco, based south of Rotterdam in Alblasserdam, Holland. The famed yard, owned by billionaire Mohammed Al Barwani, who also owns Turquoise Yachts in Turkey, recently completed Steven Spielberg’s new 357-foot superyacht Seven Sea s, and the similar-sized Bravo Eugenia , launched in 2018 for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Koru was reportedly first commissioned in 2018 as Project Y721 and delivered to the Amazon founder in Gibraltar in April 2023.
What’s in a Name?
While a betting person might have predicted that Bezos would have given his sailing yacht a more Amazon-connected name, like Prime, Deliverance, or even Blue Origin after his space company, he picked Koru . The name is said to be Maori for “loop” or “coil” and resembles the spiral shape of an unfurling silver fern frond. It’s said to be an integral symbol of New Zealand Maori art that symbolizes new life and new beginnings. Look closely at the wooden figurehead on Koru ‘s bow and the necklace around the woman’s neck features a pendant shaped like the koru symbol.
A Bridge Too Far
As Koru was nearing completion in 2021, word got out that builder Oceanco had approached the city of Rotterdam in Holland, offering to pay for the partial disassembly of the historic 97-year-old Koningshaven lift-bridge, which was too low for the yacht with its triple 230-foot masts in place, to pass under on its way to the North Sea. The city reportedly consented, but the move resulted in a huge public outcry with threats to plaster Koru with eggs as it passed through the bridge. Oceanco withdrew its application and instead towed the yacht to Rotterdam’s Greenport shipyard west of the city, transported the masts by barge, and installed them there.
The Places You’ll Go
Hot on the heels of Koru ‘s handover in Gibraltar in April last year, the superyacht has seemingly been cruising non-stop. It was spotted exploring Spain’s Balearic Islands, anchored off Cannes during the film festival, and moored at celebrity hot spots like Saint-Tropez, Capri, Portofino, and Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Bezos reportedly proposed to Sánchez on the bow of Koru off Cannes in May last year, followed by an engagement party aboard in Positano, Italy with a guest list that included Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kris Jenner, Toby Maguire, and Queen Rania of Jordan. Then Koru cruised the 4,000-plus miles across the Atlantic to Fort Lauderdale for a re-fuel and re-supply before heading to the Caribbean for winter cruising. This summer it was back to the Mediterranean for more island-hopping.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Gary King has been publicly scrutinized over some major allegations, and his dirty laundry should be aired on the series to ensure viewers know what he may have done . Throughout the run of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Gary has been one of the standout stars . Working as the First Officer of Parsifal III beneath Captain Glenn Shephard, Gary has been able to do decent work for years, but his attitude has been difficult for viewers to get behind. While his time on the show hasn’t been sparse, his behavior has been spotty.
There has been a fair share of problematic yachties on the Below Deck franchise over the years. From issues with crew members confronting one another to substance abuse problems sprouting up during charter seasons, Below Deck viewers are no strangers to issues on the high seas, but Gary’s behavior has been troubling for many because of the casual nature of it. Generally, Gary has been more of a typical playboy character on the series , which makes it more difficult to pin down his transgressions over the years.
Gary’s behavior has grown more troubling through the years, and the longer that Below Deck Sailing Yacht continues, the more he gets away with on the series. Early on, Gary simply seemed like a player, interested in all the women aboard the sailing yacht. Flirty and touchy, Gary was open about the fact that he didn’t like to settle down with just one person. While he was honest about his intentions, Gary was struggling to respect boundaries aboard the vessel . As the show’s continued, Gary has made more women uncomfortable with his actions and ignored the potential consequences.
With Gary’s behavior on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 having brought viewers to a place of questioning with the First Officer when allegations of sexual misconduct were lodged against him in the show’s off-season, most weren’t surprised. Gary’s inability to take accountability for his actions was clear from the moment the allegations came out, especially after the story seemed to be corroborated by Bravo when they removed him from BravoCon’s lineup last summer. Despite knowing that many believed the brave woman who came forward about him, Gary didn’t change his behavior and instead doubled down on his attitude .
Now, with Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 looming in the distance, many are wondering what’s going to happen with Gary’s storyline. While some want the Bravo series to brush Gary’s wrongdoings under the rug, others hope that the show touches upon his abhorrent behavior . By holding Gary accountable for how he’s made women uncomfortable, it’s possible that things could change and he could make the decision to leave the series or, at the very least, investigate his own actions.
20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
8 Gary’s Behavior Has Been Tolerated Since The Beginning
He’s never been told no.
Although Gary’s been a longtime crew member of Parsifal III, his behavior has been difficult from early on in his Below Deck journey. While Gary has always passed himself off as a playboy who’s simply looking for women’s attention, his somewhat difficult way with women has been tolerated on the sailing yacht crew. Whether Captain Glenn simply isn’t aware of Gary’s nature or has deemed his behavior more appropriate than it is, Gary has always been allowed to be overly flirtatious with women aboard the sailing yacht.
While some of Gary’s behavior is likely just him attempting to be charming and charismatic, there’s been some odd behavior he’s displayed and gotten away with, too. The majority of Gary’s behavior during Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 with Stew Mads Herrera was uncomfortable, and she noted as much on the series. Even so, Gary’s interactions with Mads only got worse as the charter went on , and he never seemed to notice she wasn’t enthusiastically enjoying their time together.
7 Gary’s Ignoring The Implications Of His Actions
He doesn’t care that he looks bad.
While Gary may understand that some people don’t like his actions , he ignores the idea of that being a possibility no matter what happens to him on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Gary’s behavior can be appropriate at times, but his inappropriate behavior has been at an all-time high in recent years. While he’s been working hard to ignore all of his red flags, Gary’s behavior and what’s been detailed about his alleged sexual misconduct should give him pause about his actions.
In the report explaining his sexual misconduct allegations, it was shared that Gary was loud and rough with the Below Deck makeup artist he allegedly assaulted. He didn’t realize he was crossing a line with her, but despite her repeated rejection, Gary continued to push and make light of what he was doing. While the allegations aren’t confirmed, Gary’s ignoring the implications of his actions , which makes it seem like he would cross lines to get what he wants despite how the other party feels.
6 Gary’s True Actions Deserve To Be Shown
Viewers deserve the truth.
Although Gary’s been on Below Deck Sailing Yacht for years and many viewers feel they’ve gotten to know him, his true nature deserves to be shown on the series. While some viewers haven’t glossed over the odd behavior Gary’s displayed in the past , others have managed to allow it to seem normal, writing Gary off as a player with eyes for every woman he sees. By acting so casually about Gary’s tendencies, some have failed to notice how predatory his behavior can be.
Gary’s true nature, which appears to be someone who doesn’t respect boundaries and feels compelled to take what he wants without remorse, should be revealed to Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers. Rather than making it out to be a joke or a series of lighthearted flirtations, Gary’s actions should get the airtime to prove that he can be dangerous. Viewers of the series deserve to know who the true Gary is, regardless of what that may mean.
5 Gary’s Colleagues Deserve Justice In Their Dislike For Him
His fellow yachties deserve to be seen.
While there are some Below Deck stars, like his longtime friend Daisy Kelliher , who have been supportive of Gary after the allegations came out, others have had issues with him in the past. Like Mads and Lucy Edmunds from Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4, there have been many female crew members who have taken issue with Gary’s behavior. Rather than relegating them to simply complaining about things on screen, the behavior in question deserves explanation and validation for Below Deck crew members.
Though Below Deck Sailing Yacht stars may not be interested in opening an old can of worms when it comes to Gary’s nature, those who have felt uncomfortable with him deserve to know that their feelings are valid. Gary should be held accountable for his actions , and his behavior should be something that is shown for what it is. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast should be able to feel justified in their dislike or disinterest in Gary, especially after he’s made them uncomfortable.
4 Gary’s Behavior Shouldn’t Be Hidden Or Edited Out
Ignoring his behavior is unnecessary.
While Gary’s behavior has likely been edited out in the past, his time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht has always seemed to be in his favor far more than it likely is now. After the allegations of misconduct, Gary should have to face his own actions on screen. Making it clear that he’s not exactly the man of honor that he makes himself out to be, Gary should have to face what he’s done and the public scrutiny that comes along with it.
While Below Deck Sailing Yacht, much like the other shows in the franchise, typically edits their episodes to bring a story to life, they should make sure the narrative they’re sharing includes some of Gary’s more troubling moments. Rather than holding things back or sweeping them under the rug, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 should hold Gary accountable for his actions. Rather than editing around Gary, showing who he is to the audience could create major change .
3 Gary’s True Nature Deserves Attention From Viewers
Below deck fans deserve the full picture.
While some have been quick to realize that Gary’s behavior can be upsetting or difficult , others haven’t seen the true picture of who Gary is after the misconduct allegations came to light. Below Deck viewers can be forgiving at times, especially when it comes to yachties who they enjoy watching in the franchise. While some have been aware of Gary’s behavior, others have been willing to write it off as a joke for far too long .
The show should give the full picture of who Gary is in order to allow viewers the level of understanding they need to decide whether or not to support him anymore. Gary’s actions may not have been as bad as they appear , but without Below Deck Sailing Yacht giving information about what Gary did and how he behaves, viewers wouldn’t know. If there are any damning pieces of evidence against Gary, the series should be letting viewers see and decide for themselves.
2 Gary’s Been Placated For Too Long
He needs to face consequences.
While Gary has claimed that he’s been called out for his behavior in the past, it’s clear that he feels far too comfortable making others uncomfortable, and hasn’t actually been told to stand down. Gary’s been placated, both by Below Deck Sailing Yacht and the viewers of the show , for years. Without genuine consequences for his actions, Gary has continued practicing upsetting behavior, making women uncomfortable throughout his time on the series.
Although Gary’s actions, at times, may not have been worth calling out, there have been some major instances of discomfort on Below Deck Sailing Yacht in the past. Even Andy Cohen, who sometimes lets Bravo stars slide during the reunions he hosts, called Gary out about his behavior in the last season of the series. Even so, with Gary continually returning to the show , he’s been placated and feels far too comfortable for others to feel safe around him.
1 Gary Shouldn’t Be Able To Return To Below Deck Sailing Yacht
He doesn’t deserve to be on the series.
Although Gary will be a part of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, it should be his last season of the series regardless of what happened in his sexual misconduct case. Gary’s behavior aside from the allegations had already been poor , and knowing that he’s been able to get away with making people uncomfortable for years should be enough to excuse him from the series. Though Gary has been a source of drama , it’s time for him to leave the show.
Many viewers have been taking issue with Below Deck Sailing Yacht for bringing Gary back to the series after the unfortunate allegations came out. While the show was already filming, the fact that Gary doesn’t seem to have faced any consequences for his potential actions is upsetting. Below Deck Sailing Yacht would be a safer series, and likely a better one, without Gary working aboard the crew.

'We pulled our children out of school to sail to Africa on a yacht'
Daniel Monk and his family had almost no sailing experience when they decided to embark on their 10,000 mile journey - but felt the adventure would do them all good

A couple pulled their children out of school to travel to Africa on a yacht - with barely any prior sailing experience. Daniel Monk, 41, and his wife Bow, 36, and their children Amelia, 13, and Olivia, seven, sailed from Falmouth to Cape Verde in a 45-foot yacht they named Pancakes.
The dad-of-two had always dreamt of sailing the world after battling a 13-year drug and alcohol addiction and said it was "a dream come true" to do it with his family. The family sailed from Madeira to Tenerife and down to Cape Verde - despite limited experience on a boat that size.
Daniel, the owner of Cask World, from Truro, Cornwall, said: "It was just always a dream to buy a boat and sail the world. We believe in being out there. If we're connecting with nature that's more valuable than some Gucci.
"We thought 'how can we allow the kids to have a childhood without being influenced by external factors?' It was a dream come true. As a family I'm over the moon the children got to experience that."
Daniel's addiction started aged 16. He said: "I just started partying. It turned out I was allergic to alcohol. I would take drugs and just lose control. I was still functioning so it was very easy to say I didn't have a problem.
"My addiction was more binging. When I started getting to age 23, 24 and 25 that's when I realised mornings were difficult. It took me to a dark place."
He was still in the depths of his addiction when he met Bow in Bangkok in 2010 but a year later checked himself into rehab. It took Daniel three years to maintain consistent sobriety and after checking out of Clouds House, Shaftesbury, in 2014 he and Bow tied the knot.
Daniel said: "We're so lucky to be able to survive addiction. Get help because I was there. There was no hope but thanks to the support of the 12 step communities around the world I was then lucky to go after that dream."
Daniel grew with his dad, who was a captain, and used to go out on various dinghies. He had always dreamt of sailing the world. After years of looking for boats, Daniel finally purchased a Rustler Yacht in 2021 after meeting Dan Stroud - who had spent three years sailing on a similar boat.
They wanted to show their daughters, who live in Chiang Mai, Thailand with Bow, that you don't need to know everything and can still try and work it out. The family have always been big on nature and adventure - and the couple don't let their kids have iPads so they can focus on what is around them.
Amelia Monk said: "I hiked to Mount Everest base camp when I was eight. Last year I hiked to Kilimanjaro."
But the family had no sailing experience and spent time in Mylor, Cornwall, with Dan and were even invited to Sir Robin Knox-Johnson’s house for tea as a send-off. Daniel set off in December 2023 and sailed from Plymouth to Lisbon - where his family then joined him. From there they travelled to Madeira, Tenerife, to Cape Verde and then cross the Atlantic to Barbados. But the trip came with its challenges. with Bow struggling with extreme sea sickness initially.
Daniel said: "Bow was violently sea sick. It was challenging. I was exhausted and it was relentless. But something magical happened - the girls took care of us."
Bow added: "I couldn't eat. I felt guilty. After about five to six days I'm okay."
The family also made incredible memories including seeing dolphins and whales, snorkelling, racing in a regatta in Antigua and meeting other travellers along the way. Despite the small proximities of the boat they always pulled together - even when they bickered.
Amelia said: "It was stressful and annoying. Because anything could go wrong on the boat we had to work together even though we were mad."
Bow added: "It was quite tough for us. We had to work together as a team."
The family also had some scary times, such as fearing orcas would attack their boat after constant warnings and Bow and Amelia getting stuck on an island overnight. Daniel and Bow were originally hesitant that the long trip might affect Amelia and Olivia's education but say they have "bounced back" at school . Daniel said: "Before we left we had a big fear - are we affecting the children? But the children just bounced back."
Bow said they've learned a lot along the way and "grown up" by seeing places such as Montserrat island and learning about the history. Bow said: "It gave them good experience and to be confident. I think they learned a lot from this."
Daniel sailed the boat back to the UK and returned in August 2024 after a 10,000 mile trip - while the girls returned to Thailand. The family are now selling Pancakes but are so glad they took the leap and are always looking for the next adventure. They hope to inspire others to go for their dreams and very thankful to all the people helped them along the way.
Daniel said: "I'd rather I had my last day trying to do something like that than be safe at home. Aim for the stars and hit the moon. Go big."

Sailing yachts like Mike Lynch's are 'unsinkable bodies', CEO of boat manufacturing firm says
Bayesian superyacht which sank off Italy is an "unsinkable" vessel, Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, said.
By Ashna Hurynag, news correspondent and Eleonora Chiarella, producer
Sunday 25 August 2024 08:48, UK
Vessels like Mike Lynch's stricken superyacht are "unsinkable", according to the chief executive of the firm which makes and sells them.
Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, told Sky News there are no flaws with the design and construction of the Bayesian superyacht which capsized in a storm off the coast of Porticello, Sicily, on Monday.
Five bodies were found by divers on Wednesday - taking the number of confirmed dead to six.
The Italian Sea Group also owns the firm that built British tech tycoon Mr Lynch's Bayesian, and Mr Costantino said the vessels "are the safest in the most absolute sense".
"Being the manufacturer of Perini [boats], I know very well how the boats have always been designed and built," he said.
"And as Perini is a sailing ship... sailing ships are renowned to be the safest ever."
He said their structure and keel made them "unsinkable bodies".

Mr Costantino said news of the sinking "put me in a state of sadness on one side and of disbelief on the other".
"This incident sounds like an unbelievable story, both technically and as a fact," he said.
It is understood Italian prosecutors investigating the incident are continuing to hold interviews with the survivors.
On Tuesday they questioned the captain for more than two hours to help reconstruct what happened and provide useful technical details.
Four British inspectors are also in Porticello and have begun a preliminary assessment of events.
It is understood they will look at all relevant aspects of the incident, including the design, stability, and operation of the vessel. They will also examine the effects of the weather conditions experienced.

Twenty-two people were on board the vessel, 15 of whom were rescued - including Briton Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter Sofia.
Divers will resume efforts on Thursday morning to bring ashore a body they found earlier. One more person remains missing.
