This cutter-rigged yacht was Chuck Paine’s third design for Bowman, and his hallmarks can be seen all over the boat. Many were fi tted out to an owner’s custom requirements – and one even had a piano installed! As one would expect from a Bowman, she is a seaworthy boat with a solid and well-crafted interior, and a successful ocean cruiser. Her windward performance was uninspiring, however.
