That’s a very cleverly designs heads to maximise use of space. With the basin off the shower compartment like that.
Aquaholic - the only channel where you can consistently hit 'like' before watching. Nice boat - good to have the 3rd cabin as a storeroom.
Open video, like, watch, leave positive comment. Repeat.
I like toying around with having the lower stern a kitchen and eating area. Then 1 master bow and port and and guest queen taking up the hull. This is really only practical when using outboard engines. Guests can sleep in well designed upper.
A boat that feels so much bigger inside than expected. The "main deck" area with the BBQ station is more than sufficient for many a day cruise. But add the interior and it's like having TWO boats for less than the price of one (almost). A total three season boat (with a built in excuse to cuddle when on deck in Novembers). You've done it again, Nick, brought us something quite unique. Thanks fo sharing...
Wow! What a great layout! The third cabin was a really good surprise. Those helm seats are stunning! Sweet sport cruiser, good size, great engines, good speed and range, nice specs. Price is more than justified. Great tour as usual, Nick. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don’t know what my deal is but i can’t stop watching these videos. I’ve only been on a boat ~10 times in my life but I’m thoroughly and inexplicably interested in the interior of boats. I can’t explain it lol. But thanks for the videos nonetheless! I’d love to have a boat one day but I’ve been cursed with terrible sea sickness. I can’t leave the ground without Dramamine
Glad you like them!
Nick is the reason. He makes watching these videos fun. I don't boat much anymore but would love to. Some of these boats are great!
I'm in the same boat! Pun intended! I also have the same fascination with VanLife and RV's. I just can't stop, I guess I really am an Aquaholic.
Nice size boat for the money considering how big it is.
Little tidy up then summers spent lazing around, better than a drizzly Friday.
Cheers Nick brightened up my day already 😀
What's not to like about this yacht? I wasn't expecting 3 cabins, superb yacht and superb tour as always.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are certainly right Nick; not one part of this boat is not thought out thoroughly. Love it and it has aged very well. Thank!
Love it 🤩
I was expecting the tilting MFD, but not the third cabin! Brilliant boat and tour, thanks Nick 👍
Really like the way they’ve arranged the heads; sink and shower together rather than loo and shower. Much more practical.
It’s 0530 in western Canada and Nick’s smiling face and cheerful demeanour have started my Friday brilliantly. Never heard of the Windy Chinook and Nick has once again introduced a boat with such skilled and passionate detail that my list of possibilities is getting longer. I am an unabashed Aquaholic.
Fantastic use of the space - 3 cabins with dedicated master ensuite is fantastic!! Great quality for that price!!
Another great tour video, Nick.
I've invented a drinking game for non-drinkers. Every time that Nick misses a detail on a boat tour tour, you get to drink a beer if you catch it. It has to be an obvious major feature that he misses, and not some BS like a dust bunny, or a kill button on the generator, since he doesn't cover every tiny detail. But, if he tours the engine room, and he misses the generator in the corner, or mistakenly calls it a water-maker - that get's a beer. :) lol. I have to fudge just a little, but I actually get two beers out of this tour... (1) That window by the helm chair opens, (2) and with it open the IPS joystick is at the perfect spot for single handed docking of the boat! Comment if anyone else gets a beer out of this video. =D
Great looking boat. Got a good kick out of the “falls easy to hand.” That line is to Jack Haines as “tuck yourself away with a good book” is to you.
I'm saying nothing! 😄
Very nice. Wasn’t expecting that level of accommodation. Really good use of space.
Wow I wasn’t expecting so much bed space! Incredible!
These videos make my morning every time you post thank you !
You are very welcome!
Agree!
Perfect yacht for a weekend with your family Nick. I can just see you behind the wheel having a blast flying around the coast. Thanks again for a great vlog. Stay safe.
A very well designed little yacht, affordable and in great shape. Great review as always Nick. Thank you again.
My pleasure!
Great tour, loved the view with the sun setting, it’s feel like light at the end of this dark tunnel of corona, thank you Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it, and fingers crossed!
That 3rd cabin was a surprise!
This was already a very nice boat and then the magic trick, from no where, cabin 3. drum roll.... tadah.
Brilliant tour as per usual, thank you. Take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍🛥🛳🏴☠️🚤⛴☠🚢⛵⚓😎
My favourite thing about this boat? The owners are clearly getting the most out of it.
Another great video, Nick.
Many thanks!
LOVE the space efficiency of the Heads: spacious sink in the wettest area with the shower and double value from the floor space.
That’s is a great boat! Really nice layout and space. Awesome!
I really enjoy the guest cabins in this yacht, very snug and hidden away. Cheers Nick, keep up the best work on CZcams!
Thanks, will do!
Love the Hurley davit ! They have a great website. Nice bathroom setup for the shower to include the sink.
Cool boat, great use of space. And a lovely evening indeed!
Hi Nick. A fantastic boat. Has loads of fine details, colour tones, helm station etc. A great walkthrough video as always. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excited to see another one of your videos appear to brighten my day Nick, many thanks! Smashing boat & what a Tardis for its size, 3 cabins, 2 heads, great social spaces, huge helm & a reasonable price... what’s not to love? 😃
Glad you enjoyed it
Feels more like a 50 than a 44. What a nice bit of kit! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
Oml,i think you would not know how excited i was whilst i was waiting for a new aquaholic video!
Hope you enjoyed it! 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC yes, I really did!
Lower deck feels like a 50ft easily. Never seen one of these before. Nice boat good walktrough. Thanks Nick.
Thanks for watching!
I wish one of these companies would give you a newer one. You are a lovely and I don’t even like boats but I like the way you present them and he’s very pleasing. I hope these companies pay you for your reviews.
I never charge anyone for the reviews
Lovely! There was me thinking a Yacht had a mast and sails! Lot to learn!
Now that’s a proper piece of kit! A driver’s GT boat if ever I saw one and a boat to dream about. Very glad they exist! Excellent review, of course.
Thank you, Nick! Enjoyable and comprehensive tour.
My pleasure!
Nice boat with so much attention to detail.
Great quality for this. Always well presented. I can always count on learning everything I need from this channel. Take care, bye bye.
A surprisingly spacious interior, very nice, thank you for the video tour.
Glad you enjoyed it
They have done well to get 3 cabins on a boat size.
Great boat that seems really ergonomic, usefulI and capable. I love alcantara or smurf skin! Feels great! Also great to have the option of the 3rd cabin. Great tour as always! Thank you as always
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Lovely tour, lovely boat, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
I have not heard of this builder before but very impressive boat seems well thought out thanks as always Nick for sharing this one with us mate cheers 👍🇨🇦
My pleasure!
Fabulous use of space. 3 cabins and still easily room for a Pullman in the twin.
Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This yacht looks very nice. Thank you for touring this good looking one.
Thanks for watching!
I really like this boat, fantastic setup, thanks for showing it Nick
Glad you like it
What a cracking use of space for a '44' footer,utilising a 3 cabin lay out and even a 4 burner hob 😁.i prefer fly bridge aposed to sports style, but this is one of my faverout boats so far that you have intoduced us to..again another cracking video/review Nick 👍
Thanks 👍
Somehow seems bigger inside than it has any right being. I really like the two tone wood trim and the clever head design.
As always, Nick, you've given us a fine look at a cleverly designed boat.
Pretty nice, clever use of space with them 3 cabins. Rather expensive for a 6 year old one though 🤔
Thanks for yet another lovely review!
Thanks for watching!
What a cool boat! As always, thanks for the tour!
Great vid nick..superb boat..surprisingly spacious below decks..nice find
Thanks 👍
another great video I love the ideas they have come up for this boat
Impressive!44 footer with 3 cabins
Don't think I've seen, or noticed anyway, a boat with power adjusting seats and Nav screens. Nice touch! Always thought that the ones that have the screens flush mounted to the dash should have them recessed or with a visor over the top to block reflections and bright sunlight from shining on them and making them hard to read! Nice boat with a lot to offer for the size! Nicely done Vlog! 👍
This one seems very well thought out.
Very stylish boat, lovely tour as always
Glad you enjoyed it
@@AQUAHOLIC as always
Very interesting boat, I like it a lot! Great job nick!!
Thank you!
Interesting boat... the helm seating reminds me of the old bench seats you got in older cars back in the day. Great review Nick 👍
Nice tug boat. Thanks for an interesting video. Nice boat for sure. It's appreciated.
Nick, as I have always said! You are an amazing CZcamsr and I love all of your content! Even the Motoholic is top notch!
Thanks a ton!
Nice to see a Norwegian boat built in Norway, not just designed ❤️ im from the north by the way😉 Great boat and very nice video, like allways ❤️ the boat for you and the lady 😉
I have a bit of time to watch your reviews on three different boats . The 24 ft , 31ft and this 44 ft Norwegian built boat . Its surprising how space that you actually have in these small boats . Thanks Nick for your expert Tours on these boats. Cheers
that's a lovely compact boat , it quute surprised me when yoy said there were two bedrooms behind those doors , i thought , blimey , they must be small rooms , it was quite a surprise to see the actual size of the rooms , & there was plenty of seating space too , but that hob needed a good clean lol , they should get some welco hob cleaning liquid, it's brilliant .
Nice boat, love the helmstation and the cabin layout, thank you for another great video 😎
Glad you enjoyed it
Nick , this was a nice presentation of this boat . As usual always !!
Glad you like them!
As always a very enjoyable tour. Wishing you a fantastic c-19 safe weekend 🙏✌
Thanks, you too!
Great video, beautiful boat. Many thanks Nick 👍
My pleasure!
Pretty thing with a very usable third cabine. Great review, nick.
Wow this Yachat looks amazing Nick Sir.... Wonderful and you also looks great... God bless you...
Thank you kindly
@@AQUAHOLIC My Pleasure Nick Sir...
Manageable little boat...thanks Nick ... coffee and a new one to watch
Enjoy!
Very smart, and very clean. Usefulness of the 3rd cabin is questionable, but it's better than wasting it. Thanks for the tour!
What a lovely boat. Such a better use of space than most with the master cabin up front. Cheers Nick!
Nice boat. Worth every penny! Well made!
I've been a passenger on many windy Chinooks in my time, none of them would float though, Nice vid Nick👍
These videos are lovely- I’ve got really quite addicted to them over the last year or so. Helpfully when Covid is over we can return to seeing some bigger boats! Keep going Nick!
I hope so too!
Don't think I've ever looked at a Windy, no real reason just haven't. I have to say I quite like that style and layout.
Might have to start looking at the older ones. Thanks for the tour great as always.
That is an absolutely cracking boat, I really like that one. Wasn't aware of the Chinook (great name too!), but it's a superb layout. The sunpad and garage may be great in the Med, but in the UK that dinghy fits neatly on the transom and the social space inside is wonderful. As you say, converts to a sunpad if you need it. I've always really liked Windys, in the same way you like Princesseseseses, they just seem very well built, well thought out, and fit for purpose. Thanks for the tour!
I spend my whole boat lust time looking at Princess and Sunseeker etc. but thanks to this channel I see so many much better designed boats for a much better price. Wouldn’t even have known they existed if it wasn’t for Aquaholic. Maybe I can use this value angle to convince the Mrs that blowing the kids college fund is the right thing to do? 😏
Put a pair of bunks in instead of that downstairs dining area and I think you have found my perfect boat.
Always remember, it is easier to obtain forgiveness than permission
Really impressive boat. Loving the space above and below decks. Clever third cabin. The helm is awesome. Loads of boat for the money. Another contender for Smugglers Blues 3 ? Great tour. Enjoy the weekend Nick.
Proper marine journalists? What do you mean by that? You're the #1 marine journalist, who is there that conducts better reviews?
You're very kind 🙂
Great review! A real dream boat with the triple staterooms and forward facing seating. The downside is the price. You can get a lot bigger boats for those amounts.
Well thought out boat with a real dinghy finally. Using that third cabin as a storeroom makes this a very practical 4 person boat. Love the helm seatiing - it looks like a racing boat with the 4 well padded seats going across. I love flybridges but this one checks off all the boxes without having an upper helm. Still missing Maggie.
Best one I've seen by Far love it
SB3 contender.... 🙂
Lovely well thought out boat...
You know Nick. The good and bad thing about your Aquaholic videos is that you keep seeing boats that would make a rather nice 'Smugglers Blues 3'.
It's true! 😄
When i see these videos of “affordable” boats i can’t stop guessing which one will be the next one you will own!
Maggie the baggy got a suntan!!
Another great tour Nick
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice boat this. Good tour Nick. I want one!
Great tour. Like the IPS control that you could reach through the window if you were short of crew. Looks very similar to the newer 46 Chinook which would be great to see a review of.
Such a good looking boat
What a gorgeous boat that is, absolutely clean and well set out, I would be more than happy to be the new owner, aahhh maybe one day lol.👍❤️
Very nice tour Nick.
This is a nice size boat which could stretch to 6 people (or more) with sleepovers.
I would happily spend a week aboard this with guests.
Thank you.
Another contender for Smugglers Blues III Nick? 😉👍🏻🇨🇦
Wow nice looking boat.
On the front instead of the sunbathing cushions I would make, have made, a hard protective surface on that spot so you could put out seats on it and a little table!
Regarding top speed: The standard version with D6 370 hp have a top speed of 38 knots. This will probably mean that with 435s the speed will be over 40 knots, presumably 42-43. The reason for this high top speed is Windys hull design and the fact that their boats are lighter and often somewhat narrower than similar boats from ex Princess of Fairline.
Getting a third cabin on a boat this size and style is impressive. Getting a third USABLE cabin on a boat this size and style requires some serious bending (if not outright braking) of the laws of physics! An absolutely wonderful machine! Four great seats in the direction of travel is almost unheard of on a sports cruiser no matter the size.
Now where did I put that lottery ticket....?
Now this one was surprising!
Very interesting boat in many ways, thanks for sharing this Nick. 😀👍
My pleasure!
This was after ther the first owner, very well maintained boat.
