The racing interior was replaced with modern cored joinery Formica faced and teak trimmed. There is a large forward flush deck hatch And another midship.

The original name of the vessel was the ‘Prospect of Whitby’. The vessel is the fourth of five of the same name built for Arthur Slater of England. Mr. Slater campaigned the vessel as one of three representing England in the Admiralty Cup during the middle 1970's. The vessel has participated in the Fastnet, Bermuda, Marion-Bermuda, the original SORC and Australia’s Sidney-Hobart where she took her class.

Winds Way has been owned and maintained by the same family for thirty years. The boat has been a family vessel with very little racing. Although in 1989 Winds Way earned the Family Trophy in the Marion-Bermuda. The vessel has carried the family successfully and safely over 40,000 miles including trips to Bermuda and a circumnavigation.
