Research 2020 - Windy Boats - SR26

Conceived from the ground up as a bespoke yacht tender, the SR26 combines sleek good looks with a practical layout, lively performance and exceptional build quality and finish. One superyacht engineer remarked that he had never seen such a well-made tender, from the engine bay to the manual.

Commissioned by EYOS Tenders, styled by Eidsgaard Design and built by Windy Yacht Projects, the multi-purpose SR26 combines the range and equipment for cruises away from the yacht, with the versatile seating and deck space essential for safe and comfortable ship to shore duties.

Designed for simple stowage in the side or stern garages of 45 to 50 meter motor yachts, Eidsgaard’s high concept, low profile design features a unique, offset folding console which reduces the stowage height of the boat to a mere 1.51m.

A bimini top and ski pole are available as options, along with some 150 choices for the hull colour and 50 for the upholstery, ensuring the perfect match with the mother ship.
