Arcarius, our Bowman 40, is built for the ocean

The Bowman 40 is a yacht that can boast almost legendary seakeeping qualities. Widely regarded as one of the finest blue water sailing yachts of this size ever built, she’s not only a head turner, she’s an absolute pleasure to sail. Designed by the highly regarded Chuck Paine, and built to Lloyd’s Register standards by Southern Boatbuilding in Southampton, she boasts a powerful cutter rig, beautiful lines, a secure cockpit and well-appointed accommodation rarely seen on equivalently sized production yachts. She strikes the perfect balance between capable performance and onboard comfort for extended trips.
