Windy Boats AS and Windy Scandinavia AB are sister companies and wholly-owned subsidiaries of Periscopus AS, Oslo, Norway – a privately owned holding company with interests which include publishing, media, hotels and property. The renowned WINDY boats are built at our modern and well equipped production facilities in Västervik at the east coast of Sweden and in Ostroda, Poland. We engage about 100 skilled people producing models ranging from 26 to 52 feet in our WINDY range; and from 22 to 27 feet in our DRACO range.

Maritime Tradition
All our models are hand-built by skilled craftsmen. The fine woodwork and exclusive textiles are important distinguishing features of a WINDY in just the same way as the modern technology involved in the construction materials, and the control and propulsion systems. Pride in craftsmanship is something that has been handed down through centuries of Norwegian boat building. Today we are honouring these traditions and our heritage from locations outside Norway, yet in areas with long maritime history and proficient craftsmen.

Development
When established in 1966, a fine leisure boat was created first and foremost thanks to the skilled craftsmanship that had been handed down through the generations. It is still the case today that the craftsman has the greatest influence on the finished product, however, dialogue with the market inspires our creativity in different directions, involving new ideas and an alternative way of thinking. Today WINDY is also working closely with the most recognized and awarded yacht designers and naval architects in the world.
