Bowman Yachts Bowman 36 (1971) For sale

The Bowman 36 is a timeless offshore cruiser that blends classic craftsmanship with proven performance. Designed for serious sailors, this well-regarded yacht features a lifting keel that allows sailors to reduce draft for accessing shallow waters, estuaries, or drying harbours, while still benefiting from deeper keel performance when lowered for offshore passages

Her elegant lines and traditional interior layout offer both charm and practicality, with warm wood finishes, six comfortable berths, and ample storage for extended voyages. Built to Lloyds 100+A1 construction standard and known for its durability and dependable sailing characteristics, the Bowman 36 remains a sought-after choice for those looking to enjoy confident bluewater cruising with a touch of vintage style.
