In October 2008, Windy Boats delivered its first 52 Xanthos featuring triple Volvo IPS 600 engines, an innovative new configuration of its luxury sports cruiser for the truly performance-minded owner.
Combining a top speed of 41 knots with rapid acceleration (0-30 knots in 13.2 seconds), the new triple installation produced such exceptional test results that the company decided to offer it as a standard option. This is particularly notable as, even with the additional engine, it offers 20% better fuel efficiency at a cruising speed of 30 knots than the 52 Xanthos’s best-selling 2 x Volvo D12-800 configuration.
