Motor yachtWindy SLR/SR60

The Windy SR60 is an exceptional day boat, crafted to serve as a luxury chase boat for superyachts or as the ultimate day cruiser. With its high-performance capabilities and meticulous design, the SR60 is engineered for smooth, fast rides, and versatile functionality, whether transporting guests ashore or for coastal excursions. Built with high-quality materials, including extensive use of carbon fiber and thick teak, the SR60 combines luxury with practicality and rugged durability.

Exterior and Deck Layout

The SR60’s deck is designed with both style and functionality. The aft features a large sun pad with an adjustable backrest, supported by carbon fiber poles that offer optional shading. Thick teak decking runs along the deck for a refined touch, while foldable cleats and carbon fiber boarding ladders provide secure, easy access. The seating area near the helm offers a comfortable space for up to eight people, with built-in audio speakers for entertainment. Forward, the bow area offers additional seating, complete with a massive storage locker to stow deck gear and supplies.

The design allows for convenient dockside access, with a carbon fiber support rail, dedicated boarding steps, and gates that secure the deck for safety. For versatility, Windy has integrated a robust, replaceable fender system along the sides, ensuring protection from impact and allowing easy replacement of sections if damaged.

Helm and Navigation

Underneath a sleek, painted hardtop, the helm is fitted with triple screens displaying navigation and system controls. Equipped with Humphree trim tabs, IPS joystick controls, and a night vision camera, the helm provides advanced operational capabilities. The customizable screens give the captain complete control over the vessel's systems and enhance visibility, even at night, thanks to infrared functionality. For passenger comfort, bolster seats and footrests are included, providing stable seating in high-speed conditions.

Interior and Amenities

Despite its focus on day cruising, the SR60’s interior provides a luxurious, well-equipped space. The galley is fitted with a carbon fiber finish, high-end appliances, and secured drawers, ensuring that items stay in place during high-speed runs. The saloon area includes a high-quality TV and mood lighting, designed with contrasting dark ash and oak finishes that elevate the overall aesthetic. For added comfort, the boat features a well-designed head with a carbon fiber toilet and rainfall shower.

The cabin can be configured based on the owner’s preference, with an option to transform the lower deck storage space into a double bed if using the boat for weekend cruising.
