Don’t miss this opportunity to own a Windy Bora 40 that has been fastidiously cared for by her owner since 2002! With updated Volvo D4-300hp engines and drives, a comprehensive service history and presented in very good order for her age. Seller is inviting all serious offers. Lying on a display berth in Salterns Marina and available to view Monday to Saturday.
Lovingly cared for and under the same ownership since 2002! Blue hull and white topsides, well-presented and many technical works and investment over the years, including a complete mechanical refit in 2011/12 with new engines, new drives, transom shields, rams, engine lid rams, pumps etc. The first to view and sea trial will buy.
2000 build / 2001 model year Windy Bora 40 ‘Running Bear’ is a beautifully presented example of this highly regarded performance cruiser, offering an exceptional blend of style, performance and comfortable cruising accommodation. Finished in an attractive blue hull with white topsides, she benefits from a sophisticated specification including twin Volvo Penta D4-300 engines, Raymarine navigation and radar, bow thruster, electric pop-up multifunction display and Fusion Bluetooth sound system. Her spacious cockpit features teak decking, an aft sunbed, cockpit fridge, sink, swim shower and a tender garage with powered winch and launch and recovery system, making her equally suited to relaxed days afloat and longer cruising.
Below deck, ‘Running Bear’ provides accommodation for up to six guests, with two double cabins and a further double conversion in the saloon. The interior combines cream leather upholstery, cherry gloss woodwork and wooden flooring with a generous real-wood dining table, separate heads with shower and a well-equipped galley. Eberspacher heating provides year-round comfort, while the extensive technical investment gives confidence for her next owner. A striking and capable Windy with a proven ownership history and substantial recent mechanical expenditure, ‘Running Bear’ represents a compelling opportunity for anyone seeking a fast, stylish and genuinely well-loved cruiser. Please note: the price reflecting the absence of the camper covers. Replacement covers can be commissioned from scratch for approximately £7,500 inc. VAT, giving the new owner the opportunity to tailor them to their own specification while acquiring a superb boat at a highly competitive price.
