Any UK Windy Owners?

[[164147]]

Looking at buying a Windy and just wondered who was listed as the supplying dealer on the original VAT invoice? The one I've seen is from Express Cruisers Ltd which I believe Berthon took over?

Express Cruisers, based on the Town Quay in Lymington, were indeed acquired or merged into Berthon in the 90's IIRC. The proprietor was Andrew Constance who went on to work for Berthon until his retirement some years ago. Which model are you looking to buy if you don't mind me asking?

It's a Khamsin 34

Nice boat, not one of ours though. Thought Khamsin's were launched some years after Express became part of Berthon so would expect Berthon to be on the original vat invoice.

One of our forum members ’tetleys’ is a big fan of Scandinavian boats and has owned several Windy’s including a very nice Khasmin 34, send him a PM he may be able to help ?

It looks as if "Express Cruisers Ltd" is still an active company within the Berthon Group?

We have a 35 khamsin, love the boat. It’s a 2006 and pretty sure orginal invoice is Express Cruisers (Berthon).
