Windy 39 Camira Review (2015 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The yacht has a deep V shaped hull, which is designed to give a fantastic ride that cuts through the water like a 'proverbial knife through butter'.

The boat is low, sleek, and designed for those who want to have a tremendous amount of fun. He also praises the attention to detail, such as the gas strut on the boat's ladder and the fender rack that keeps the fenders neatly tucked away.

The lack of side decks on this boat allows for a larger cockpit area. The design here is a very practical large U-shaped seating area. The teak table with the Windy logo, the easy-to-deploy canopy system, and the well-equipped wet bar are highlighted. At the helm there are lift bolster seats and a mirrored instrument arrangement, which allows for easy monitoring of the boat's performance.

The boat's interior serves as overnight accommodation as it has been designed for daytime and evenings on deck. The interior walls and ceilings have a beautiful soft touch design with stainless steel highlights. Of note is a utility area with fridge, sink, microwave and storage.  There are two spacious double cabins. The shared heads, or bathroom, is of a decent size and includes a separate shower area.

The boat's speed and capability are highlighted.  This is the type of boat that allows you to travel from Torquay to the Channel Islands for lunch in just two and a half hours.

This yacht has a pair of Volvo Penta D6-400 horsepower engines, allowing it to reach speeds of over 40 knots, with a range of 300 nautical miles at a comfortable cruising speed of 35 knots. 

Nick concludes by expressing his enthusiasm for the Windy 39 Camira, commending not just its performance, but also its quality and overall feel. He describes the boat as an absolute joy and potentially one of the best high-performance weekenders that money can buy. The boat is low, sleek, and designed for those who want to have a tremendous amount of fun.
