Windward
Coastal cruising vessel
“From the very first drawing we saw, we knew this was the boat for us. When Salthouse Boatbuilders undertook to complete the first Windward in time for delivery immediately after the 2005-2006 Volvo Ocean Race, we grabbed the opportunity. Having seen other boats that Salthouse Boatbuilders have created, we knew we would get something very special. We were not disappointed. 'Windward' is everything we wanted in a new boat. It is amazing looking, goes fast, is beautifully finished, comfortable and easy to look after. Quite simply, we love the boat.”
Mike Sanderson, Volvo Ocean Race winning skipper and owner of the first Windward
Designed in-house, the Windward is Salthouse Boatbuilders' flagship powerboat. Although the Windward has classic lines that capture the elegance of a previous era it is every bit a modern boat from the construction and layout, to the performance.
Set up as a semi-custom boat, a range of layout and engine options are available meaning the Windward can be tailored to the needs of each individual owner while also taking advantage of the benefits of a production boat.
Depending on engine choice, the Windward has a top speed of around 30 knots and her planing hull gives a sea-kindly ride.
The wheelhouse and galley can be completely opened up to the cockpit giving a feeling of space not often found on a boat of this size. It also makes a great area for entertaining while the transom drops down to create a practical space for other activities like fishing, diving, and swimming.
