Vindö was a little boat yard on the Swedish west coast, situated between Orust and the mainland outside Uddevalla.
The yard was best known for their small wooden boats in the 1960s, and converted to GRP material in 1965.
The combination of GRP hull and fine quality teak and mahogany structures demanded for newer boats, and the 29 feet (8.8 m) long Vindö 32 was launched in 1973.
Shortly after came the 31 feet (9.4 m) long Vindö 40 - best known for the reversed topsides of the hull.
In 1982 came Vindö 45 - a 34 feet (10 m) long boat with more modern lines - and a greater volume.
