Las Palmas is warming up for the start of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers on 22nd November. We take a look at what makes a reliable bluewater yacht with our Bowman 40 as a benchmark.

Is the countdown to the ARC giving you a thirst for an ocean crossing? We take you through the checklist for a capable cruiser, with our Bowman 40 in mind.

With Storm Austen sweeping across the South West, it’s a timely reminder of the importance of strong, well-constructed canvas work in protecting your boat from the elements.

We currently have two boats for sale featuring substantial, storm-hardy full cockpit enclosures. Not only do these provide excellent protection against the unpredictable British weather, they also create valuable additional living space, making both boats more versatile and comfortable throughout the year.

Two great examples of how quality canvas work can make all the difference.

Moody 30 | 1978 | £16,995

Halmatic Weymouth 34 | 1976 | £69,995

I could talk about Katinka for hours (if you hadn’t already noticed). Once in a while a boat comes along that you feel a real connection to, and an appreciation for everything she has achieved and all the care that has gone into her.
I was tempted to edit and enhance this photo, which her owners kindly provided, but I’ve left it exactly as it is. It was taken long before digital cameras and editing software, so nothing here has been filtered, sharpened or touched up.
What you’re looking at is Katinka as she really is: a strong, capable Bowman 40 cutter, designed by Chuck Paine, with a commanding presence on the open ocean and doing exactly what she was built for. Ten Atlantic crossings later, that hasn’t changed. Get in touch if you’d like to hear more about her. I’m always happy to talk Katinka 🙂

WHAT A FEELING

If you came home from the Southampton Boat Show with a dream you can't shake off, you already know the feeling.

Waking at anchor with nowhere you have to be. A night watch under the stars. Chasing horizons to places you've only seen on the National Geographic channel.

Katinka is built to deliver it: a 1991 Chuck Paine Bowman 40 with ten Atlantic crossings behind her.

Hand-laid GRP hull built to Lloyd's-approved drawings
Cutter rig for easy short-handed sailing
Monitor wind vane steering, no power needed
Twin kicking straps to prevent crash gybes downwind
Sta-Lok terminals, repairable at sea, with spares aboard
Solar, wind and LiFePO4 batteries for real off-grid capability
SSB with SailMail for mid-ocean contact
Approx. 545L water plus watermaker
Approx. 320L fuel and space for five 6kg propane bottles for long passages
Approx. 1.5m draught for shallow anchorages

She's waiting at Noss on Dart Marina, Dartmouth. Come aboard and picture where she'll take you. Bring the dream one step closer.

Price: £94,995
