The fine entry and true deep-V hull profile make her a drivers dream; and she thus handles correctly both at speed and in marina.Her engines are the 260HP KAD44s from Volvo Penta, for 40+ knots performance The KAD44 is a 6-cylinder compressor, after-cooled and turbo-charged block and drives a DuoProp stern-drive leg for optimum performance.With a full-beam aft cabin and heads off the main saloon, the Tornados accommodation is surprisingly versatile. In terms of handling, the steering is absolutely beautiful, with strong performance at higher speeds and a very planted, neutral trim feel to her underfoot.Constructi on: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.The hull 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 principles 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.Construction details: The hull and deck are white GRP, with the blue Windy topsides stripe Cockpit and bathing platform are teak laid High gloss interior cherry joinery with blue leather cabin upholstery Blue Windy cockpit upholstery with yellow piping Automatic extinguisher to engine compartment Automatic / manual bilge pumpsEngine configuration & machinery details: Twin Volvo Penta KAD44DP 260hp diesels (c.440 hrs December 2011) Turbo-charged 6-cylinder direct injection diesel with compressor and aftercooler DuoProp stern-drives Trim tabs with Bennett indicators Maximum c.45 knots, cruising speed 28-32 knotsPerformance:The se figures are taken from Volvo performance tests and intended as a guide only:RevsKnotsL/NML/ HDBA10007.00.8666415 009.01.771675200018. 41.853476250029.41.7 05077280031.91.63527 8300033.21.755879320 035.71.906879340039. 31.937680360041.82.0 58680380043.42.12928 1398045.52.3710882El ectrical Equipment: |
