XBOAT ref: 5841.
Indication from the shipyard on this model: the silhouette of the Windy SR 44 BlackHawk is the result of a collaboration between the Dubois design office and the shipyard.
Meanwhile, the interior design was entrusted to the expertise of the English firm Design Unlimited.
This dream team, tasked with challenging competing brands like Fjord, Pardo, and Mazu Yachts on their own turf, paid special attention to the deck layout.
Extended by a large hydraulic bathing platform, the cockpit offers several possible configurations. A large cockpit with a central rear bench allowing free passage on both sides of the boat, and a huge U-shaped deck lounge. A sunbed is located at the rear, above the engine room.
The seakeeping is commendable. Cutting through waves with authority while showing a certain flexibility at the helm, the boat sails on a hull perfectly adapted to Mediterranean conditions. Powered by the new D6 440 HP engines – each delivering 440 hp – the boat exceeds 38 knots. Notably, the shipyard states a top speed of 42 knots on flat water and under optimal conditions.
Comfortable, smooth, and functional
The simplicity of the layout is another strong point of the boat, with a very segmented design that favors movement. At the center, the streamlined T-top, which includes two translucent panels and can be extended by an electric bimini, houses a summer kitchen protected under a flap, in addition to the helm station. Equipped as standard with Glass cockpit technology, the helm features particularly refined lines, with special mention to the steering wheel. In summary, a magnificent unit ready to sail this season.
