New Model: Windy 40 Camira RS

During the 2023 Fort Lauderdale boat show Windy debuted its new 40 Camira RS model, a replacement to the 39 Camira.  A twelve meter sporty cruiser, full of the Norwegian brands DNA, the Camira 40 RS comes with a full beam T-top which covers a spacious cockpit deck, which features a traditional Mediterrean layout; aft sun-pad, C-shaped dinette with opposite wet-bar, and helm station with passenger forward facing settee to port side.  Inside the Windy 40 Camira RS will feature an interior sleeping four in a two plus two cabin layout, with a V-shaped dinette which transforms to a double berth, and a double or optional twin berth at midships.  In between the berths is a galley and a shower head to starboard.  The layout is all open plan, although in the renderings the midships cabin is shown as being door bulkhead separate, so it is not understood if there is a choice to enclose this, or Windy changed the layout to open plan in production.  The Windy 40 Camira RS is powered by twin Volvo 400hp as standard, and or optional 440hp engines with stern drive propulsion for top speeds up to 44 knots.  A Windy 44 Camira SX is also available, this featuring twin 450hp or triple 300hp outboards, length overall of an extra one meter, and fuel tank increased by 300 litres to 1200.

Ed Dubois 1952 - 2016

It is with enormous sadness that Honor Dubois and the team at Dubois Naval Architects announce the death of Ed Dubois yesterday.  Following a period of illness last year, Ed had been in better health and working as normal. Unexpectedly he was admitted to hospital last week and sadly died on Thursday.  Ed’s career spanned decades and his passion, commitment to his work and love of his clients created a unique business, driven by exceptional design and technical talent and a genuine desire to create the most breathtakingly beautiful and technically advanced yachts; now scattered across the globe.  Although created by Ed, Dubois Naval Architects has always been underpinned an incredibly committed and talented, team of naval architects, none more so than those working with Ed at the moment.  The business will continue. Peter Bolke, who is Senior Designer and has been a valued member of the Dubois team for 23 years, will become Managing Director with immediate effect.  Peter will be supported by the rest of the Dubois team.  With one of the industry’s most innovative 58m yachts currently in build and a number of similarly ambitious projects in the design stage, Ed left the business at an exciting moment in its development.  Peter and his team will be supported by Ed’s great friends, Richard Cunningham, and Andrew Prynne QC, Ed’s friend for fifty years.  Ed Dubois was a huge talent and his legacy will continue as one of the world’s great yacht designers. Known not only for his love of all things boat-related, but also music, art, travel and most of all his family and friends. Ed leaves his darling wife Honor and four wonderful children, to whom he was completely devoted.

Project: Windy Twenty Two

The Windy Twenty Two concept project is designed by the Dubois studio to emphasize the outdoors, with lots of cockpit seating, open deck spaces, fold–down bulwarks aft, a drop-down transom for swimmers, and extra seating and sunbathing space on the fore-deck.  The hull is of a deep Vee mono-hedron construction for good offshore performance and the fixtures and fittings on the boat are all of superior quality.  Sliding cockpit doors and a hardtop with a large opening sunroof shelter a small deck saloon, from which a curved companionway leads down into a private lower saloon which has skylights, a large TV and daybed, and a small dinette.  There is also a galley aft alongside a twin-berth cabin, and a spacious VIP suite forward. The interior is by the British studio Design Unlimited. With three powerful engine options available, and a choice of jet drives, surface drive or Volvo IPS pod drives, the Twenty Two promises high performance, while a 24-degree deep vee hull by Hans Jørgen Johnsen guarantees the exemplary handling and sea keeping for which Windy is renowned.

Project: Windy 29 Coho

With its handling, good looks, and versatile cockpit, Windy Boats new 29 Coho sportsboat looks to be one of the show stoppers in this size at the 2013 Düsseldorf Boat Show. The new 29 Coho reaffirms Windy’s new focus on core brand values, with a pared-down, classic profile, a rapier sharp deep-vee hull designed by Hans-Jørgen Johnsen, and a blistering top speed of over 45 knots with the large engine choice. Replacing the popular and long-serving 28 Ghibli in the shipyard’s model range, the new 29 Coho features an extended hull and lengthened bathing platform, with a new cockpit layout that emphasises outdoor living and relaxation. Large rhomboid windows in the topsides let in lots of light down below, where the upgraded accommodation centres on a large, luxuriously finished double berth forward, with a practical head and shower compartment, and a useful and well-equipped galley area by the companionway. Along with the new 26 Kharma and 31 Zonda, the 29 Coho features Windy’s ingenious new canopy design, which can be easily put up by one person in just a few minutes, and is completely hidden when stowed. Like many of its stablemates this new Windy model is named in honour of a wind in this case the cold airstream that blasts down the Columbia River valley in Oregon, which is in turn named after the legendary silver-sided Pacific salmon. The aptly-named Coho is available with single or twin, petrol or diesel sterndrive installations.  Single Volvo 400 or twin 220hp diesel engines, and single 380hp petrol gas are available.

Project: Windy 45 Chinook

Norwegian boat builder Windy is to unveil a new sport cruiser model at the 2013 Düsseldorf Boat Show taking part in January which combines the comfort and protection of hard top cruising with the exhilaration of an open sports boat.  Involving a renewal in design, tooling and customer research, the new 45 Chinook, is a further development of the 44, and boasts an enlarged hardtop that offers more shelter to the cockpit and main deck seating areas.  It also features a huge opening sunroof, transforming the boat at the touch of a button from a fully enclosed, hard-top cruiser into an open-cockpit sports machine. The new model is also one feet longer than its award-winning predecessor, thanks to an extended swimming platform.  The designers at Windy also took the opportunity to redesign and enlarge the topsides windows to match the right-angles of the look presented with the 40 Maestro by the Norwegian builder. Also in common with the Maestro, the 45 Chinook has a fresh new interior design by Peder Eidsgaard, which combines cool and understated modernity with the warmth and solidity of hardwood. Tactile detailing emphasise the built-in quality always synonym with Windy.  As is expected the new 45 still retains the Chinook’s excellent, family-friendly layout, with a lower saloon and galley, and three double cabins. Two Volvo engine choices, a standard 370 and optional 435hp with IPS pod drives and the much respected superb Hans-Jørgen Johnsen hull should take you to top speed up to 44 knots.
