WINDY BOATS Windy 32 Scirocco te koop (2003) in Christchurch, Verenigd Koninkrijk

This evergreen Windy 32 Scirocco cruising hull, from the masterful pen of Hans Jørgen Johnsen, was laid down by Windy Boats in Arendal, Norway in 2003 and is currently in her third careful ownership, with low hours and regular servicing on her twin Volvo Penta KAD43 diesels. Possessing class-leading seakeeping thanks to her deep-V hull profile, and offering a fast cruise in the thirty-knot-plus bracket, the Scirocco has been a justifiably popular choice for many serious cruising sailors. With a Sleipner bow thruster, recent plotter, superb cockpit, and well-built satin-gloss cherry interior finish, her four-berth layout is a masterstroke.
