Press release available only in original language.
WINDY ANNOUNCES NEW SLR 60, DESIGNED BY MALCOLM MCKEON
The #windy SLR 60 is a powerful 60ft chaseboat with a strong personality and clear dual purpose. It is the first boat to bring together Norwegian powerboat builder #windy with #malcolmmckeon Yacht #design.
With a range of 850 nautical miles at 25 knots, the #windy SLR 60 has been designed to be the ultimate superyacht chaseboat for long distance excursions. However, it will also serve as a very nimble sports boat for diving and fishing, as well as support shoreside exploration. This contemporary and elegant #design is fitted with a large swim platform aft of the luxurious guest area and bar, making it a very attractive vessel for socialising and enjoying relaxing times on the water.
The first vessel has been commissioned by an experienced superyacht owner and has been designed to meet their stringent requirements. The SLR 60 features detailed #design accents that mirror those of her superyacht mothership which includes a beautiful interior by the renowned interior designer Studio Liaigre.
Following delivery of this first SLR 60, #windy Scandinavia AB is looking forward to the #design going into production at the #windy yard in Sweden, making it the largest #windy available and establishing the 60-footer as the company’s flagship.
A rigorous testing procedure to assess the boat’s performance in varying sea states has been conducted. The sea trials confirmed that the SLR 60 is extremely capable in all conditions, with a generous flare to the bow and multiple chines on the hull keeping the boat as dry as possible.
As you would expect of a high-performance chaseboat from #windy, the SLR 60 will be able to traverse unprotected and open passages of water with ease. The full-height windscreen provides protection at high speed for those in the forward-facing seats and an increased fuel capacity equips this luxury tender with an exceptionally long range and a top speed of 44 knots. Exhilarating to drive, this incredibly responsive vessel offers impressive acceleration and handling at speed. There’s also a gyro-stabiliser to enhance comfort when at anchor.
Malcolm McKeon comments:
“We are delighted to be working with #windy on this high-profile project. I have known Windy’s Executive Chairman Knut Heiberg-Andersen for many years, and this collaborative opportunity is very special to me. #windy is a strong international brand and #malcolmmckeon Yacht #design are proud to be associated with them.”
Knut Heiberg-Anderson comments:
“Windy’s philosophy has always been to #design and build boats that set a new benchmark of style, and become market leaders in their own right. Working only with the world’s greatest designers and craftsmen, drawing on their passion and skill, #windy has been able to build a name and a product that is envied by many.
The commission of the #windy SR52 Blackbird in 2008 provided the first opportunity for #windy to partner with designers and naval architects external to the company. The SR52 Blackbird opened up a new world for #windy, introducing the brand to the superyacht sector as the builder of the world’s finest chaseboat, and #malcolmmckeon was intrinsic to the #design of that model. We are incredibly excited to be working with him again.”
