Bowman yachts are well known as substantial British cruising boats, with many examples used for offshore and long-distance sailing. Their rigs tend to reward careful inspection because older yachts may have accumulated changes to spars, furlers, terminals and deck attachments over several refits. This section provides model-specific guidance for planning replacement standing rigging and related work, together with running-rigging, furler, kicker, winch, mast and boom recommendations where suitable information is available. The figures are intended as a practical starting point rather than a manufacturing specification, so the existing rigging should be measured and all attachment details confirmed before components are ordered.
Useful Bowman rigging guides include: Bowman 36, Bowman 40, Bowman 42, Bowman 45, Bowman 48 and Bowman 49 Ketch. Open a model guide for indicative standing-rigging sizes, replacement costs and equipment recommendations.
