There seem to be a lot in the Med not so many in this country i am looking at potentialy buying one that has just turned up at the right price- I cannot wean enough information off the internet so I am hoping some of you members can fill me in with some information on this yacht.

better over on mobo chat.- I m assuming you mean the Windy?
Wasnt you out with Berthons over the w/e was it!
Anyway, became something of a legend, this boat for Windy, though its also a bit oddball with the rear space. Great if you have a cubic metre of clobber with you all the time!
Anyway, Windy is a top marque with a following and pricing to match. As with any boat, you ll need a proper survey, and get the engines checked too. Usually good on resale value, though most of them go through Berthons- maybe one or two come up for sale a year. Now replaced with the Grand Tornade 32,Powerboat of the Year.
I think I might have a review of it in a magazine...
