Construction
Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:
- Windy are a product of traditional craftsmanship, enhanced with the aid of modern technology.
- The latest technological innovation is the Wintec hull concept, which gives improved performance, greater strength and reduced noise throughout the vessel.
- This genuine deep-v hull design offers a soft, dry and confidence inspiring ride even in more challenging conditions, which makes the whole boating experience more enjoyable.
- Like other new generation Windy models, the 31 is built using vacuum-resin infusion which makes her lighter, stronger, faster and more economical than many of her competitors.
- All the Windy models are CE-labelled. This means that Windy meets all the requirements laid down for quality control documentation and product liability within the EU. In the process of obtaining approval, the company has also introduced new methodologies construction principals and more advanced construction production equipment, resulting in more cost–effective and quality oriented processes in–house. But above all, Windy is a “Boat Builder” and not a manufacturer of boats, a philosophy which characterizes their production staff and all those within their distribution network.
- Teak decking in both the cockpit and on the bathing platform.
