Designed as a long-range chase boat and weekend cruiser, the SR77 is intended to support large yachts, anchor independently for extended periods, or function as a statement platform in its own right. The 24m flagship pushes the Windy SR Sports Line into new territory.
Windy’s biggest build to date
Naval architecture and exterior design of the new chase boat come from Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design Ltd, and the influence is clear in the SR77’s low, assertive profile and sculpted topsides. Compared with smaller SR models, the surfaces are deeper and more expressive, with concealed hull glazing and a longer visual run from bow to stern. The hardtop is sleek and functional rather than decorative, designed to integrate enclosed and open deck use without breaking the silhouette.
At just under 24 meters, the SR77 carries a 6.0-meter beam and a draft of 1.03 meters, proportions that balance interior volume with access to shallow anchorages. The hull form of the boat is geared toward sustained high-speed running rather than short bursts, supporting Windy’s stated focus on range and offshore capability.
A Social Layout
The main deck is the focal point of the SR77’s layout. An expansive aft deck forms the social center, with clear circulation fore and aft and generous space for loose furniture or fixed dining depending on owner preference. The stern features a multi-level swim platform that lowers toward the water, creating easy access for swimming and water toys while doubling as a beach-style lounging area when at anchor.
Wide side decks and a long, sunbed-equipped foredeck reinforce the boat’s outdoor bias. The bow area is designed to be usable at speed as well as at rest, a detail that aligns with the SR77’s role as a fast-moving support yacht rather than a dock-bound dayboat.
A statement of power, precision, and Scandinavian design - the SR77 is built for those who seek adventure without compromise.
Windy Boats
The helm sits beneath the hardtop with the option of enclosing the central section using large glass panels. This allows the dayboat to shift quickly between open-air running and protected passage-making as conditions change, a practical feature for owners planning long coastal legs or shoulder-season use.
Superyacht proportions, familiar DNA
Below deck, Windy has taken a deliberately open approach. Rather than locking the SR77 into a single accommodation plan, the builder is positioning it as a semi-custom platform. Owners can specify different arrangements for guest cabins, lounges, and service spaces, tailoring the boat to its intended role.
Typical layouts place guest accommodation forward, with options for three or four ensuite cabins depending on priorities. Crew space sits amidships, separated from guest areas, while machinery and tankage occupy the aft section. Interior design is described as fully bespoke, with material choices, lighting, and bathroom finishes defined on a build-by-build basis rather than through preset packages.
This flexibility reflects the SR77’s expected audience, which is likely to include owners stepping up from large tenders or compact performance cruisers, as well as superyacht owners seeking a chase boat that feels integrated with their main vessel.
Two propulsion routes
Two propulsion packages are currently planned, each shaping the SR77’s character on the water. The first pairs twin MAN V12-1800 engines with waterjets, targeting maximum speed and reduced drag at pace. This setup favors owners who prioritize outright performance and shallow-water access, particularly when operating close to shore or in support of a larger yacht.
The alternative is a triple Volvo Penta IPS installation, with final output figures still to be confirmed. While this option is likely to trade some top-end speed for efficiency and maneuverability, it aligns with longer-range cruising and more intuitive low-speed handling.
The Windy SR Sports Line at a glance
According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch, the largest yacht database in the world, the SR77 now sits at the top of a five-model Windy SR Sports Line that spans a wide range of sizes and uses. At the entry point, the 9m Windy SR28 CC is designed as a compact tender or dayboat, with seating for up to eight and a straightforward, open layout aimed at short trips and yacht support duties.
In the middle of the range, the 13m Windy SR40 targets owner-drivers looking for a fast, enclosed sportsboat with overnight capability, featuring a single cabin and a strong emphasis on helm ergonomics and all-weather use. Stepping up again, the 14m Windy SR44 SX introduces twin cabins and greater flexibility for extended dayboating or short cruising, while retaining outboard-driven performance.
