Windy 37 Grand Mistral HT

The Windy 37 Grand Mistral Hardtop is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished 37 foot sports cruisers ever produced in Scandinavia. Designed by Hans J Johnsen and built to Windy’s legendary standards, she combines a true offshore deep V-hull with a level of construction quality, refinement and long term durability that very few boats in this size can match. In independent tests and long term reviews, the Grand Mistral 37 is consistently described as exceptionally well balanced, confidence inspiring and capable of maintaining high cruising speeds in conditions that would slow many comparable boats.

This particular 2006 example is powered by twin Volvo Penta D4 260hp common rail diesels with DuoProp sterndrives, a combination that delivers strong mid-range torque, efficient cruising and lower running costs than the earlier generation engines, while still providing a top speed of around 35 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of approximately 27 knots. The engines and drives have been extensively and correctly maintained, with a long list of major service items and upgrades carried out in recent years.

The boat benefits from a well-equipped and capable navigation and systems package, including chart plotter, radar, AIS, autopilot, bow and stern thrusters, inverter, fuel cell and solar charging, making her particularly well suited for independent cruising and extended stays away from marinas.

Below decks the interior is finished in high gloss cherry with leather panels and white headlining, creating a light and refined atmosphere typical of Windy. Two proper cabins and a practical saloon provide generous accommodation for family and guests. The hardtop cockpit, with its deep seating, wet bar and convertible sunbed arrangement, is one of the Grand Mistral’s greatest strengths and makes her equally suited to relaxed socialising, long distance cruising or fast passage making.

With her professionally treated underwater body, serious anchoring equipment at both bow and stern and a specification clearly focused on real cruising, this Windy 37 HT represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Scandinavian performance cruiser whose reputation is built on independent tests and long term owner experience rather than marketing alone.
