Blowing a hurricane in the Windy 52 Xanthos
March 22, 2010
Founded in 1966 the Norwegian built Windy range has grown over the years from sports boats to Sports cruisers and now into the realm of Sports Yachts with the Windy 52 Xanthos.
The 52 Xanthos combines sleek, low profile styling with luxurious three-berth accommodation, she has an outstanding helms position and quality about her that few in this market segment will be able to match.
Windy has a certain edge of elegance not to over powering though and just enough to compliment its sporting pedigree. Stepping on board the 52 Xanthos aft will provide you with the reason why.
Confronted with a large bathing platform and an accommodating aft deck leads you onto the triple glass sliding doors which take you through to a beautifully layout spacious cockpit saloon.
You will feel the subtle style and elegance of the 52 Xanthos creep up on you now as you scan the fit and finish from the expansive U-shaped sofa and well-equipped wet bar to a world-class helmsman’s position. Look up and you can enjoy heavenly skies above day and night through the huge sunroof in the hard-top from the electrically operated foot rest.
Walking through the saloon going below deck, the quality of the Windy’s fit and finish is even more impressive, high-gloss woodwork, light tanned furnishings, coupled with technology such as flat screen TV’s and an ultra-modern galley, will have you amazed
Below the cockpit are twin cabins, one with two single beds, and one with a double which has direct access to a bathroom equipped with a Rondell shower. In the bows, the owner’s suite has a king-size double bed, en-suite bathroom and dressing table.
Windy’s 52 Xanthos achieves that perfect balance of luxurious fit & finish coupled with a smooth delivery of high performance. This is achieved through a detailed designed deep V-hull combined with state-of-the-art technology and materials resulting in impressive seakeeping qualities, assuring security in comfort and speeds the that set the Windy apart from its nearest competition.

Get that satisfaction feeling from the Sealine SC35
February 15, 2010
Although launched back in 2007 the SC35 was the corner stone for the latest Sealine design direction. The design filled the saloon with natural light through the translucent convertible roof system with an unprecedented feeling of space for a boat of this size in both forward and aft cabins.
During the first year of production Sealine rode a wave of orders for the SC35 (Sports convertible 35) being a hit with customers who were attracted to the signature design innovation from Sealine.
Throughout the interior, the colour palette is warm and natural with walnut edging, washed walnut panelling and soft furnishings of ivory tones, silver blue and chocolate brown, whilst the secondary palette offers a fresh contrast with lime green, papaya orange and dark blueberry tones.
The large double forward cabin is reached by opening a set of double doors. This creates an open plan feel and gives an overall impression of space flowing through the boat
The hull, designed in collaboration with world powerboat champion designer Ocke Mannerfelt, has a deep v form with extended planning surfaces and bold topside contours – generated to provide comfortable and efficient costal cruising
She can be supplied with twin diesel engine options from Volvo or Mercruiser married to Twin prop stern drives giving her a respectable 30 knots plus top speed.
On a final note the SC35 has always been a popular choice with Sports Cruiser enthusiasts around the globe and what is even more attractive is you can find very good used examples of the very popular Sealine sports boat.
