Windy Boats introduce their new Windy 29 Coho sportsboat, offering great handling, cool good looks and superbly versatile cockpit. Windy 29 Coho is ready to take the market by storm, appearing for the first time at the 2013 Düsseldorf Boat Show, taking place from 19th to 27th January, 2013.
Windy 29 Coho sportsboat
The new 29 Coho sportsboat reaffirms Windy’s new focus on core brand values, with a pared-down, classic profile, a rapiersharp deep-vee hull designed by Hans-Jørgen Johnsen, and a blistering top speed of over 45 knots. Replacing the popular and long-serving 28 Ghibli in the shipyard’s model range, the new 29 features an extended hull and lengthened bathing platform, with a new cockpit layout that emphasises outdoor living and relaxation. Large rhomboid windows in the topsides let in lots of light down below, where the upgraded accommodation centres on a large, luxuriously finished double berth forward, with a practical head and shower compartment, and a useful and well-equipped galley area by the companionway.
Along with the new 26 Kharma and 31 Zonda, the 29 Coho features Windy’s ingenious new canopy design, which can be easily put up by one person in just a few minutes, and is completely hidden when stowed. “It makes such a difference over conventional canopies,” says Ben Toogood, of UK Windy dealer Berthon. “We’ve even had owners of the 28 Ghibli saying that the canopy alone is enough to justify trading up to the 29.”
Like many of its stablemates this new Windy model is named in honour of a wind – in this case the cold airstream that blasts down the Columbia River valley in Oregon, which is in turn named after the legendary silver-sided Pacific salmon. The aptly-named Coho is available with single or twin, petrol or diesel sterndrive installations.
The Windy 29 Coho can be seen on the Windy Boats stand (5E20) at the 2013 Düsseldorf Boat Show (19-27 January) alongside the Windy 26 Kharma, the Windy SR26 Tender, the Windy 31 Zonda, the Windy 40 Maestro and the Windy 45 Chinook.
