If you are looking for a superbly capable cruiser with proven blue water ability, this highly regarded Chuck Paine design should be on your shortlist. The Bowman 40 offers ocean going potential but is equally at home as a powerful coastal passage maker. The Bowman 40 is easily sailed, with a spacious uncluttered cockpit and the flexibility of a cutter rig. From the moment you step aboard, you know that you are on a real sailors boat, designed to make fast passages in safety and comfort. ‘Quiver’ is a good example of the marque and benefits from a recently installed Yanmar engine with just 75 hours run.
