Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:
- Windys 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.
- The hull is resin-infused, making the 29 lighter, faster and stronger.
- She is reinforced with advanced multi axial glass fibre matting and Divinycell core.
- This allows a reduction in the boats weight of up to 20% whilst offering noticeably improved stability.
- 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.
