WORLD PREMIERE
N orwegian superyacht designer Espen Øino is a man with a stellar CV and an even more stellar reputation. Who better then to take the lead on the new 34 Alizé – aboat designed to evoke (and improve upon) the style and performance of the much-loved 34 Khamsin?
Slotting neatly between the 32 Grand Zonda and the 37 Shamal, the Windy 34 Alizé is every bit the performance boat you would expect.
Built with a distinctly aggressive resin-infused non-stepped deep-V hull, even the entry-level single D6-440 is expected to achieve speeds in the region of 40 knots. And while Windy is anticipating speeds well in excess of 50 knots from the optional twin D6-440s, you can also indulge your inner petrolhead with a pair of 430hp V8s.
It may be “all-new” but the main deck layout feels classically Windy. The full-beam cockpit, set deep within the confines of the long wraparound screen, features a broad aft sunpad with a bench seat built into its leading edge. That faces forward, across a convertible table, to a two-man starboard bench and an aft-facing port lounge seat.
Further forward, beyond a trio of bolsterequipped offshore helm seats, access to that impressively trim foredeck is achieved via a step-through screen.
Here, you will find an additional sunpad, plus a stylish guardrail that does a great job of preserving the boat’s streamlined pro
