At Southern Spars, we've long recognised the value of digital engineering in delivering safer, lighter and more efficient rigs.

As digital twin technology continues to evolve, its potential to transform the design, construction and operation of superyachts is becoming increasingly clear.

An insightful article from SuperYacht Times exploring where the industry is headed next.

Digital twins are reshaping how superyachts are designed, built and operated, and the applications are broader than you might expect.

From virtual rig testing at Southern Spars to AI training onboard Rossinavivi's Seawolf X catamaran, and a construction scan so detailed it captured 100,000 metres of cables on Project Zero, the technology is already embedded in some of the industry's most ambitious projects.

Spectacular sights in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez as 126 yachts filled the bay with a stunning display of sailing at the Loro Piana Giraglia.

With the northern end of the start line heavily favoured and the breeze easing as the fleet rounded Cap de Saint-Tropez, crews were kept busy throughout a tactical day of racing on one of the Mediterranean's most iconic courses.

As inshore racing draws to a close and attention turns to the offshore challenge ahead, we're proud to see so many Southern Spars-equipped yachts competing amongst this exceptional fleet.

Good luck to all crews as they prepare for the next stage of the regatta.

As a Bronze Partner of the inaugural Cyclades Cup 2026, Southern Spars was delighted to support a spectacular week of racing in the heart of the Aegean, alongside RigPro and Doyle Sails as event supporters.

Bringing together an exceptional fleet and some of the world's finest sailors, the Cyclades Cup delivered memorable racing across a range of conditions, showcasing performance, and the innovation that defines modern superyacht sailing.

Congratulations to Barong D on being named Head of the Fleet 2026, and to all the class winners and competitors who made the event such a success.

The Cyclades Cup in Antiparos is well underway as we enter the second day of racing.

From high-performance yachts to timeless classics, it’s been a fantastic fleet to watch on the water.

For our team, it has been a great opportunity to connect with owners, captains, and crews, and to see our rigs performing across the course.

Our team remains on-site providing rig checks and support.

Best of luck to all competitors for the final races!

The new Baltic 121 stands a little taller today.

With her Southern Spars mast now stepped, another major milestone has been reached.

Precision engineered. Performance focused. Ready for what comes next.

Coffee is on us! ☕️

We’ve been loving the action on the water and seeing all the Southern Spars-equipped fleet in their element. If you’re near the yacht club, look for our flag and stop by for a coffee.

We’ll be here tomorrow as well. See you there!

A strong opening day at the Range Rover Sardinia Cup. 💪

Class victories for Ino Veritas and Rán move to the top of the provisional team standings after yesterday's Race 1.

With some of the world's finest racing yachts competing in Porto Cervo, it's great to see Southern Spars equipped campaigns starting their Sardinia Cup challenge on the front foot.

There is still plenty of racing to come, but the opening signs are promising as the fleet settles into one of the Mediterranean's most prestigious regattas.

That’s a wrap on the IMA Maxi European Championship 2026!

As one of the most prestigious fixtures on the International Maxi calendar, the event saw the fleet return, ready to tackle the technical demands of the Naples and Sorrento circuit. From offshore endurance to inshore sprints, the highly variable conditions tested every fleet.

Following a hard-fought week of racing, Jolt claimed the Maxi Grand Prix title, with V, Leopard 3, and Galateia rounding out the Maxi 1 podium.

A huge congratulations to all the owners, crews and teams who competed this week. It was incredible showcase of precision, teamwork and high-performance racing.

Truly one for the books!
