MotorBoat Awards 2026: Windy 29 & SR40 nominated

Two Windy nominated for the 2026 MotorBoat Awards

Merveille Nautic, Windy’s official distributor in France, is proud to announce that two models are nominated for the 2026 MotorBoat Awards, each in their respective categories: the Windy 29 Huracán and the new Windy SR40. This double nomination once again confirms the Scandinavian brand’s expertise in terms of design and marine qualities.

Windy 29 Huracán: a sleek and powerful day cruiser

The Windy 29 Huracán is a boat that immediately found her audience when she was unveiled in 2024. At less than 9 meters long, she embodies all of Windy’s excellence: sleek lines, remarkable seakeeping, premium materials, and high-end finishes. Her nomination for the upcoming Motorboat Awards, in the “Best Sports Motorboat Under 30 Feet” category, is therefore well deserved.

New Windy SR40: a luxurious and versatile yacht tender

Her launch at the Palma International Boat Show in May 2025 caused quite a stir, and with good reason! The Windy SR40 is a very high-class walkaround, who is user-friendly, comfortable, and modular. Her strengths include an innovative design by Espen Øino, generous volumes and sunbathing areas, fluid circulation, and a highly versatile cockpit that can be completely opened or closed. This model will be presented in the “Family cruisers up to 45 feet” category.

About the MotorBoat Awards

Organized by MotorBoat & Yachting magazine, the Motor Boat Awards bring together influential figures from the nautical world every year and recognize the best boats on the market.
