The Boat...


Bjornslippy aka Bornslippy 5 is a J/80 based out of Port Hamble on the Solent. First race was the Round The Island Race 2007. Yes, as everyone in England seems to humorously add a J into their boat names, I thought I would too. Bjornslippy is also a reference to a "mashup" of my favourite song with some famous whistling...

 

Bornslippy 4 is a 6m Ribcraft RIB.

 

Bornslippy 3 was a Laser SB3 sportsboat.

Bornslippy 2, a Prima One-Design, was launched just before Christmas 1999 and sold in April 2007. She did three Fastnets, one Commodores Cup, three Cork weeks and much more. Literally hundreds of people have sailed as crew at one time or another (and two of them [so far] have ended up marrying each other. Ah.. Happy days.... See www.seaquestyachts.com for more details on  the Prima One-Design

The first Born Slippy (left) was a Sigma 36 built in 1985 which has now been sold. I had some great times sailing her, including in the '99 Fastnet. Good luck to her current owners...
