Boat Details

Description

A fine example of the legendary Bowman 40, ready for new adventures.

If you are looking for a superbly capable cruiser with proven blue water ability, this highly regarded Chuck Paine design should be on your shortlist. From the moment you step aboard, you can clearly see that 'Arethusa' is a real sailors boat, owned by an experienced yachtsman and maintained to a high standard.

She is presented in sail-away condition, having been continuously updated under the current ownership including headsails, wind vane, standing rigging, wind generator, windows, deck canvas and dinghy.

'Arethusa' is well setup for shorthanded sailing, with recent Aries wind vane, powerful winches, cutter rig and bow thruster. The owner is retiring from sailing and consequently, the boat will be sold with a fulsome inventory. She is recently antifouled and ready to go.

For more information or to arrange a viewing, contact Paul in the Plymouth office on 01752 260086.
