Windy from Norway is presenting a world premiere at boot Düsseldorf
2014, its 11.98 m Camira 39 as the successor of the shorter Khamsin 36,
which is now calling it a day after ten years. Camira is an Australian
aboriginal name that means "Of the Wind". The family resemblance between
the Windy 31 Zonda and the bigger sister, the new Windy 39 Camira,
cannot be denied. Windy is already preparing a new launch in the
exclusive Windy Sport range.
Deep V hull
The boatyard has modelled the hull on the deep V of the established
Zonda 31 for smooth headway in rough water. Two years of in-depth design
and development work have gone into the new Camira. The interior of the
Camira styled by Design Unlimited displays black painted surfaces and
stained, light-coloured oak. The weekender is powered by a Volvo Penta
D6 diesel, which is said to accelerate the craft to a top speed of 45
kn.
About Windy craftsmanship
All Windy models are hand-built by skilled craftsmen. The fine
woodwork and exclusive textiles are important distinguishing features of
a Windy in just the same way as the modern technology involved in the
construction materials, and the control and propulsion systems. Pride in
craftsmanship is something that has been handed down through centuries
of Norwegian boat building. Windy boats are built in an area which is at
the very heart of the Norwegian boat building tradition, in Arendal on
the south coast of Norway. It was in this same town that the first
wooden pleasure boats were built for the country's prosperous
sailing-ship masters and owners. In these waters, kings and princes
competed in yacht races in their beautiful metre boats. This is where
fibreglass boats first appeared in 1953. All of this tradition is
embodied in a Windy.
