Bowman 40 – Yachting Monthly review

• July 24, 2014

Duncan Kent enjoys a relaxing sail aboard this comfortable ocean cruiser

Product Overview

Manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.

What’s she like to sail? The Bowman 40 is a medium-to-heavy displacement yacht designed to sail across open oceans with ease. She is deep-bilged with an overhanging bow and narrowish shoulders, so her motion through the water is that of a powerful, but sea-kindly performer. This easy motion means life at sea on a long passage is not only possible, but positively enjoyable. On many boats, you can get utterly fed up with being thrown about down below for days on end, but that’s certainly not the case with the Bowman. There’s always a handhold within reach, both below and above decks, and there are very few sharp edges to hurt yourself on. Equally important is the general balance of the hull and sail plan. With her ample ballast, plus the engine weight over the keel and water tanks each side, she’s stiff and easily capable of standing up to her canvas. Her steering is light, but positive and she tracks well thanks to her longish keel and skeg. The cutter rig keeps the sails small and offers greater flexibility in a gale, and the quality of the deck gear and fitting gives you confidence that she won’t fall apart when confronted with stormy conditions. She’s no racer, but neither is she a slouch, with her momentum and ability to carve through heavy seas, often she’ll arrive at a far destination at the same time as a much lighter performance yacht might, only her crew will be far more relaxed! What’s she like in port and at anchor? Those more used to voluminous saloons and huge double berths might think the Bowman a little cramped, but to my mind and in the option of many long-distance blue water cruising yachtsmen, too much space can be undesirable under way. Her shoal draught is a boon upriver and at anchor, and she’ll dry out easily alongside a wall on her long keel base, but she does lack family living space and her cockpit isn’t exactly designed for easy Mediterranean lounging. You need a ladder to climb up her transom and there’s no platform for showering after a swim. On the entertaining stakes she easily matches a more modern design. With her massive and extensively equipped galley and large saloon table you can easily cook dinner for six adults. Sleeping is limited to two cabins and the saloon, but in return for the lack of a second aft cabin you get a much larger heads, a useful wet locker and a full-depth cockpit locker – far more important for blue water cruising unless you’re taking a large family with you. Would she suit you and your crew? The Bowman 40 was primarily designed for taking serious sailors offshore in all weather and sea conditions. Very few sacrifices in seaworthiness have been made to make her more inviting for a horde of guests, but to me this feels right. And to prove it, take a look at the Scandinavian blue water cruising yachts built today – most of them don’t look a lot different to this boat, do they? She is great for a couple who want to sail anywhere, anytime and still feel safe. There’s room for a guest couple, and even the kids, so long as they don’t expect to stay forever. I love the acres of lockers and the sensible use of any empty cavity for handy stowage, which is exactly what a cruising yacht needs. You really couldn’t go far wrong choosing a Bowman 40 for cruising, and being so solidly constructed and well equipped means she’ll hold her value in today’s second-hand market.

Yachting Monthly Magazine – 2014

MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:

Modern design, classic looks and craftsmanship to last a lifetime.

Designed by Chuck Paine and built by Rival Bowman, this is a 40 footer that has everything a cruising yacht needs.

Step aboard and you immediately know that this a yacht built by sailors for sailors. Every aspect of the boat is thought out from bow to stern.

The spacious cockpit is uncluttered and a Joy to work in at sea with the mainsheet traveller on the coachroof. If the going gets wet, a snug sprayhood gives protection. Forward are wide safe side-decks with teak capped bulwarks.

Step down the companionway into pure luxury. The galley is a cook’s dream – large fiddled work surfaces, double sink with a chopping board over. Enormous, fridge capacity and storage for crocks, pots and pans. When the meal’s ready sit down And enjoy it round the full width saloon table, which really does seat six in comfort.

The engine is sited under the galley worktop and has excellent insulation and all round access for easy maintenance.

Two heads compartments – one forward and one aft, both with showers and wash-basin — avoid queues.

When on passage, two root berths in the saloon become excellent sea berths and the wide double in the aft cabin has a central lee cloth providing two more comfortable berths.

The navigator has a large chart table to sit at with all the necessary stowage and shelves. In harbour, in addition to the saloon and double cabin aft, a spacious double cabin forward provides privacy and comfort. Wherever you want to go in the world this is a cruising yacht that will take you there in comfort, safety and style.

THE RIVAL BOWMAN STORY:

“ Peter Gregory of Victoria Yachts never tired of finding ways to attract customers. For the 1983 London Boat Show he came up with an idea of stationing his designer at a drafting table in the act of designing yachts.

I had my weather eye open for a new British customer and Rival yachts were at the top of my list. Their previous designer had passed away and the time would come when they would want a new design. I didn’t want to be an ambulance chaser so struggled with how I would introduce myself without appearing overly aggressive. I was spared the trouble.

Just in case an opportunity might arise I decided to spend my time stuck at that drafting table sketching my idea of the next Rival Yacht. The largest yacht in the Rival line was a 41 footer and the next smaller a 38 so I figured 40 feet was about right. I had the sketch just about finished on my 3rd day standing at Peter’s drafting table when 2 impeccably dressed “city types” walked over and peered down curiously at what I was doing. It turns out they both owned Rival 36s and were at Earls Court looking at larger boats. They loved their Rival 36s and would have preferred to stay with the same builder if only he had something larger. They took one look at my sketch and they had the answer. They dragged me and my sketch over to the Rival stand and introduced me to Charles Maunder, the Managing Director of Rival Yachts. They said in unison “Charles, if you build this design and add it to your line, we’ll both order one.”

The first Bowman 40 was introduced at the London Boat Show a year later. I had already seen it earlier that fall, when I flew over for sea trials. They had that first boat in the water and the first thing Charles said was “It floats 2 inches deeper than you said it would.” I said “It can’t possibly” But I took the freeboards and he was right. I had done all my laborious calculations using a VisiCalc estimate in excruciating detail – how could it possibly be that much heavier? They explained that of course they could not build the boat to the scantlings I had shown on my American style construction plans. “We can’t build boats as lightly as your drawings showed – to sell boats on Britain we have to use Lloyds scantlings” And that was the answer. Lloyds scantlings assumed the use of more fibreglass mat and less woven roving than we were used to using in America. And since mat is weaker than roving, you have to use more of it to achieve adequate strength. I even considered making some concession to Charles on the royalty to compensate for my failure to estimate the weight correctly but fortunately I held my tongue.

Then we sailed the boat. It was windy, as it always is on the Solent on the fall and the boat stood up to all that wind beautifully and went like a train on rails. Charles was overjoyed with the way it sailed – much faster than the former Brett designs. The boot-top was repainted two inches higher on the hull, the displacement figure was changed on the sales brochures and Bowman Yachts went on to build more than fifty of the yachts and came back to me for 3 more designs.”

The interior teak, most of which was also removed to gain access to all her hoses and electrical, has been finished in a soft satin finish. All her fabrics, and cushions have been replaced along with what was originally a formica counter top in the galley is now a beautiful light colored Corian. Her Teak and Holly sole was also removed and refinished. There is not one spot on Tack that has not been touched and improved upon.

Now to walk you through the interior of the vessel from stem to stern;

• The Master Stateroom is forward with an off set double berth to port. Custom cushions and headboard have just been installed. The berth is surrounded by teak cabinetry and shelves. There is a large overhead opening hatch as well as multiple opening port lights that offer plenty of light and ventilation. A bench seat and vanity are to starboard followed by the hanging locker and another overhead hatch. To port is the Master head with new Corian counters and a separate shower stall with towel warmer. Here too one will find multiple opening portlights.
• Moving aft from the Master Stateroom we enter the Main Salon. There is an abundance of storage space for living aboard. To starboard one will find multiple lockers followed by the comfortable Navigation Station. Here is her electric panel, Battery parallel switch (which is hidden by a custom teak tray outboard), and all new electronics. Opposite to port is the U-shaped dinette with all new light colored fabric. Teak cabinets and shelves are outboard and a beautiful versatile fixed teak table. Folded in the table is great for cocktails and when folded out creates a large dining table. There is also additional storage within the table from the top as well as from inboard.
• Next up one step to the deck house area where the large Sea Galley is located to port. This galley will put any kitchen to shame. All new light colored Corian counters compliment all her teak trim. It is a U-shaped galley going fore and aft which creates a centerline peninsula. As one knows the galley is the heart of any home and where everyone will want to gather. The peninsula allows for this and also offers an abundant amount of counter space for food prep or to lay out a buffet style meal. More on the galley later.
• Aft of the galley to port is a private work room. The generator is located in here with excellent accessibility as well as a ton of storage for tools and necessities. Opposite to starboard is the second head that serves as a day head or has private access from the second stateroom. Aft of the head is the second stateroom. She has a double quarter berth and is finished with the same fabrics as the Master with bolsters outboard and inboard. Additional teak lockers outboard, shelf with drawer, hanging locker and the forward doors leads to the aft head. There is lots of light as she has a large window outboard and opening portlight inboard. Between the workroom and aft cabin and aft of the galley is the companionway with all new teak steps leading to the cockpit.

The galley has been redone with all new Corian counters. Not only is it large it is vey well equipped for extended cruising. Plenty of drawers and cabinets outboard and under the counters. A U-shaped galley is a true Sea Galley keeping the cook between counters for stability while underway.

From an article on the Bowman 48;The Bowman 48 has been long recognized by the British Yachting establishment as being the finest British built design every offered to the conservative long distance sailor. She came about in response to the success of the Bowman 40, of which some 60 beautiful examples have been built since its introduction in the late 1980's. Indicative of a wonderful response by the high end yachtsman who prefer a customized vessel and are willing to bear the attendant higher costs. Ted Bowman's 48's are now cruising the world's oceans.This is a Chuck Paine design and is an excellent representative of the more traditional design style which Bowman has always specialized in. The process is to select an aesthetic treatment that is timeless in its appeal, and to combine that shape with fully modern appendages, such as the highly successful Paine keel with its efficient bulbed endplate, and updated interior treatments. This design has a lovely motion and forgiving steering and stability characteristics at sea.The deck features an integral pilothouse which permits large windows to be fitted in order to avoid the cramped feeling that can result from the conventional low house. The feeling of light and air that results in wonderful. All of the long distance cruiser's needs are anticipated and owners may be assured that the deck fittings are oversize for their loads, and the bow roller adequate for the oversize anchors that one is liable to fit aboard what is in most instances their home for the duration of the voyage.A long and cordial relationship has existed between Bowman Yachts and the Paine office. The Bowman 48 is EC certified for unlimited ocean service and will take you anywhere your heart desires in safety, comfort, and at excellent speed.This is a preliminary listing and more will be added in the next week.

The 40m explorer with under 500 operational hours for sale at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024

With the Cannes Yachting Festival now just around the corner, the industry is gearing up to view some of the finest sub-500GT yachts currently on the market. Among the standout explorers is the 41.8-metre full displacement yacht Kasif , currently listed for sale with Jan Jaap Minnema and Josh Gulbranson of Fraser .

"It’s rare to find a like-new yacht ready for immediate delivery with under 500 operational hours," notes Minnema, and Kasif fits the bill perfectly. Built by Bilgin Yachts in 2023 with a steel hull, Kasif is poised to wow prospective buyers at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 with her pristine condition and impressive features.

A highly personalised design

Two award-winning studios created Kasif 's modern explorer yacht design. The naval architecture and exterior styling are the work of Unique Yacht Design , while the interior was designed by Hot Lab in close collaboration with Bilgin's repeat new-build client. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a personalised onboard experience.

Designed for ultimate comfort at sea, Kasif offers accommodation for up to 10 guests across five staterooms, alongside quarters for a crew of six. The main deck is highlighted by an oversized master stateroom, which spans 36 square metres. Below deck, a VIP stateroom stretches the full 8.4-metre beam, which is complemented by two doubles and a twin.

With a total volume of 381GT, Kasif offers 276.5 square metres of exterior space, which is "extraordinary" for a yacht of 42 metres, according to Gulbranson. An extra-long swim platform and a full-service beach club, covering 20 square metres, provide easy access to the water for swimming or enjoying the yacht’s array of water toys. The large exterior bridge deck aft and the spacious foredeck on the bow offer ideal spots for relaxation and dining. The 38.5-square-metre sundeck is designed with entertainment in mind, featuring additional seating and a well-equipped bar.

A go-anywhere explorer yacht

Kasif embodies the true spirit of an explorer – a capable world-cruising yacht combining comfort with reliable transoceanic capabilities. A standout feature is her ability to accommodate an Axopar tender of up to 8.5 metres in length or a small helicopter on deck. The large crane allows for easy launching and retrieving, offering ample opportunity for exploration, whether it’s discovering secluded coves by tender or embarking on heli-skiing adventures in mountainous regions.

Certified by RINA and compliant with the REG Code, Kasif boasts a 2.5-metre draught, making her versatile enough to navigate both deep oceans and shallow waters worldwide. Registered under the Cayman Islands flag, she is powered by two Caterpillar engines and generators, giving her a range of 3,660 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots, with a maximum range of 5,000 nautical miles and a top speed of 14 knots. For added comfort during long journeys, Kasif is fitted with ABT Trac stabilisers, ensuring a smooth and stable ride even in challenging sea conditions.

Asking €20,900,000, Kasif will be on display at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024. To book an appointment for a viewing or for more information, contact the brokers at Fraser today .
