SW78 WhiSper
SW78 miniseries
Launched in 2001, Whisper was the first unit of the successful sW78 miniseries to be built.True to reichel Pugh’s refined naval architecture, the yacht flaunts sleek hull lines, with a fin and bulb keel.
The general arrangement plan, deck layout and interior systems were designed by the italian team at nauta Design, while the composite structural engineering for the cored Kevlar and carbon hull was undertaken by the UK-based sP Technologies.
Designed as a cruiser-racer, Whisper is ideal for both bluewater navigation and competitive races. Her deck layout features
a large guest cockpit protected by a collapsible and recessed dodger, which is well separated from the sailing cockpit.
bLUeWaTer-Proof deck layout
below deck, Whisper features a classic teak-lined saloon with blue leather upholstery, a teak and holly floor and a white ceiling. This area is accessed by a stairway from the upper deck and occupies the
full beam width of the yacht, accommodating both an 8/10 seater dining table, a comfortable conversation area and luxury accessories including a refrigerator and icemaker.

The onboard accommodation includes a spacious master cabin at the stern, with both a double and a separate single bed, a twin cabin amidships with an additional pullman bunk and a double guest cabin afore, which is equipped with a bunk bed. While
all cabins feature en suite facilities, the heads of the double guest cabin can be accessed from the saloon for communal use. forward of the galley, in the bow, is the three-pipe cot crew cabin.all areas of the yacht offer ample, yet discreet storage solutions.
sW78 Whisper boasts an impressive record of sporting achievements: as winner of the 2009 sWs Trophy, she also claimed 1st place in her division at the 2009 rolex fastnet race, and 1st place in the 2009 mini
maxy rolex Cup (cruising racing class). Whisper has also competed in three editions of Les Voiles de st. Tropez, coming in with a highly respectable 2nd place in 2013.
