Owners Comments
"We are the 2nd owner of Born Slippy and we have had many happy times in the last 4 years mainly for day trips around the Solent from her base at Northney Marina. She has great accommodation with comfortable seating for at least 6 with the addition of a large sun bed for lazy summer days. My Wife and I have on occasion stayed overnight on her over a Weekend and can confirm the bed is huge and luxurious which coupled with her camping cover make her very practical for longer stays. Considering she is a sports boat she is also quite economical with her single diesel D6. Her performance is exhilarating easily capable of 40 knots plus and her hull is perfect for cutting through the short Solent chop. Born Slippy was commissioned June 2013 and reportedly the last Windy Ghibli to be sold by the Windy dealer in the UK. We hope her new owner has as much fun as we have"
Produced between 1999 and 2011, the Windy 28 Ghibli is a timeless classic in the world of sports boats.
Inside, you'll find a compact galley equipped with a diesel hob, a convertible double berth, and a separate head. The cockpit can be fully enclosed, making it an ideal choice for weekend getaways; however, many owners have also appreciated its versatility as a high-performance day boat. The Ghibli's striking design features are unmistakable, with a sleek, elegant bow, graceful sheer, and raked windshield that embody the essence of a true powerboat.
The design quickly gained popularity, with media responses noting things like, “this may be the ideal dayboat” and “crafted to Windy’s high standards, the Ghibli boasts an impressive hull that handles rough conditions with ease.”
