Southern Wind team announces the departure from life of Willy Persico, founder and President of the South African shipyard.

Respecting his way of being reserved and private, more than any words, let the silence speaks.

“I like to believe that I’ve made many friends and clients happy”, these are the words with which Willy condensed his 25 years at the helm of SWS.

Incredulous we learnet from his family that Willy had a long held great concern about his health.

A thought goes to his family, to his friends, and to all those who in these years have been lucky enough to know him and appreciate his great soul and generosity.

Willy leaves a precious heritage that we will take over and carry on.

Fair wind Willy.
