This was a fantastic presentation. Much better than bow to to stern walk throughs. It dialed in to the boats philosophy very well and involving the owner also added valuable insite. It told a story. I like this presenter chap because he really understands the definition of communication - to create understanding! More like this please. 10/10 and a gold star.

i prefer the sleeker sportier designs but it is beautiful. I could only ever dream of a yacht such as this. would never be a reality, will have to stick with my old david thomas intro 22 for a long time id guess.
I think a lot of long keelers do, I have a Bowman 26 & she hobby horses too, you can mitigate it to an extent by moving the anchor chain further back and anything else you can think of to get weight out of both ends. It's not as apparent when you're in the cockpit or down below. Otherwise she's such a well balanced & directionally stable little boat...

excellent commentary
Used to own a Malo 43 Classic and would never trade that experience. When I was looking, the Bowman 40 was on the list and this video explains why.
Great review and feedback by the owner. “Like me, she’s built for comfort, not speed” 👏🏼
Nice yacht in a nice town. Doesn't get any better I'd say. Greetings from the States, to all our cousins. Here here!!! Huzaah!!!
So similar to the Laurent Giles 38, could be a sister ship! Thanks for sharing this.
Beautiful boat, very good review
i go sailing on a bowman 48 and have sailed her double handed to the canaries then Caribbean. very safe and easy to sail especially in heavy weather
We have just delivered a Bowman 40 from Portugal to the UK - lovely boats indeed!
Looks very nice, indeed.
Beautiful boat.
This is really a very nice cruising sailboat.
Great boat

Sailing round the world
Beautiful
That's just a sweet practical pretty boat. I love the videos with real sailors. I find the videos of the huge mega yachts rather boring.
My favourite boat

nice looking old girl, hope she's still going
Beautiful boat. I have one of her younger sisters also designed by Chuck Paine
Nice video. She seems to hobby horse a bit though in small seas.

When were they designed/built? Lots of S&S34 influence there.
very nince
German mainsheet?
Price ??
Nothing about the interior of this beautiful ship??
Throw me down for 2.
Sorry but this just isn't me, it looks old and stodgy to me. I prefer the Jeannaue 46DS myself.
