1975 Bowman 36

The Bowman 36 is a classic British cruising yacht renowned for its strength, elegance, and superb offshore capability. Designed by Kim Holman of Holman & Pye, the Bowman 36 combines traditional craftsmanship with a hull shape that delivers reassuring stability and a beautifully balanced sailing performance. With her long keel, solid construction, and generous ballast ratio, the Bowman 36 inspires confidence at sea and is widely respected as a yacht capable of serious bluewater passages. The cockpit is deep and secure, while the deck layout is straightforward and practical for short-handed sailing. Below decks, the Bowman offers a warm and inviting interior finished in quality joinery, providing comfortable accommodation for extended cruising. A spacious saloon, practical galley, and excellent storage make life aboard both enjoyable and functional. Elegant, capable, and built to last, the Bowman 36 remains a highly desirable yacht for sailors seeking a timeless cruiser with proven offshore pedigree.
