History of Bowman Yachts

The heritage-rich Bowman Yachts, famed for the classic design and superior build in the world of sailing, was initially established in 1973. The British boatbuilding company was founded by the renowned shipwright, Eustace Bowman, in Emsworth, Hampshire. Bowman's founding principle entailed constructing high-performance cruisers that boast unparalleled craftsmanship, meticulous detailing and the ability to endure the most challenging sailing conditions. Over the decades, the Bowman name has become synonymous with quality and luxury in yachting circles.

In its early years, the company gained significant recognition for its line of long-distance blue-water cruisers. Bowman's sailing yachts, from the Bowman 26 to Bowman 57, are particularly admired for their robust construction and gracefully classic lines. Remarkably, many of these early models are still in service today, a testament to the brand's longevity and uncompromising quality.

At present, Bowman Yachts is owned by Northshore Yachts and operates from the same site in Itchenor, West Sussex. Northshore Yachts acquired Bowman in 1995 and has since continued to uphold the company's reputation for excellence and quality. Although the company does not actively produce new models under the Bowman name today, owners and enthusiasts worldwide continue to appreciate, restore and sail these iconic yachts, leaving an indelible mark on the history of British boat manufacturing.

Bowman 48, BOANDARO

Bowman, Bowman 48 Built 1993 / £230,000, VAT paid

Broker’s Comments

BOANDARO is a very rare centre cockpit Bowman 48. Built in the UK, these Bowmans have long been recognised by the British yachting establishment as being the finest British built design ever offered to the conservative, long distance sailor.

BOANDARO is no exception and has been very well maintained by the current owner with comprehensive refits over the years and an extensive list of equipment, allowing an owner to tackle any ocean. These yachts are famous for their stable and safe seagoing qualities and on deck you will find a heavy duty rig offering easy shorthanded sailing or space for plenty of crew when needed. Down below she offers three spacious cabins, a comfortable interior saloon plus large linear galley. Overall, she is fully equipped and ready to go for her next adventures.

Owner’s Comments

BOANDARO is a truly excellent sailing yacht. She has served as an ideal family sailing boat for summer holidays, as well as a long-legged blue water heavy weight for trips to Iceland and Greenland. More recently she has been an excellent boat to live aboard; very comfortable with plenty of storage space. She has a superb motion, a good turn of speed and can hold high average speeds. She is also surprisingly easy to sail single handed, and I have done some long trips in such a fashion. She is beautifully built and very strong. In challenging conditions she just digs in and settles. There is no drama, and she gives a great sense of confidence.

BOANDARO is a very well-balanced yacht and the cutter rig is very powerful with enough sail area to keep her moving in light conditions as well as adequate power beating in brisk offshore conditions. You cannot make her slam, and downwind her keel and balanced ends means that she tracks very steadily.

BOANDARO is the only Bowman 48 Centre Cockpit, as the mould was changed for the later Deck Saloon model that has become the trend. However, I have found her layout ideal. In fact, the lack of large windows means that she is delightfully cool in hot bright summer conditions down below, and conversely warm and dry in arctic conditions. It is also worth noting that she is very well behaved in Marinas. I have debated fitting a bow thruster, and indeed already have a dedicated circuit breaker ready for one. However, each year I manage without, even singlehanded. My view is that now she has a properly specified propeller with controllable prop wash, and 40° of rudder available, she just doesn’t need one. Choosing the right moment, and using ropes and springs appropriately is all that is required.

It is a very hard decision to put her up for sale, but a smaller boat would now be more suitable, and she probably needs another family to delight and look after her. For those looking to go further afield she just needs fuel and food and she is well found and completely ready to go anywhere.

Living On A Boat: Guide To Choosing The Right Live Aboard

By Robert Bowman | Posted On Jun 24, 2024 Updated On Jun 25, 2024

The appeal of living aboard a boat has grown considerably over the last few years as the cost of owning a traditional home has increased substantially with interest rates. With everything from politics to consumer confidence creating additional pressure on everyone, setting course for the open ocean has never sounded more tempting.

One only has to look on Youtube to see the growing number of liveaboard content creators documenting the highs and lows of boat life, some of which have reached millions of views. Like anything in life, there will be pros and cons to living on board a boat, but whether or not it becomes worth the effort depends on many factors, none of which are more important than the boat you choose. Careful planning, research, a realistic budget, and the help of a professional yacht broker during the process of buying your liveaboard boat can greatly improve your chances of a successful experience.

DEFINING YOUR DREAM OF LIVING ABOARD 

The liveaboard dream usually starts big as you envision yourself anchored at a secluded Bahamian island, catching fish off of the transom that you'll filet and eat this evening, as you stargaze at the most unpolluted sky you've ever seen. In reality, there are marina slips to reserve, weather to watch, supplies to monitor, and other unforeseen circumstances that will arise. It's important to be diligent in your research and planning in order to succeed.

Before you get in to choosing your boat and gathering supplies, sit down and think about the relative locations you want to visit while living aboard. For some, this is a 2-3 year plan where the goal is to complete The Great Loop and spend the winters down in the islands before selling the boat and returning to the real world. For others, a sailboat at a liveaboard marina in the Florida Keys sounds like the perfect retirement plan. Before you get going on the perfect liveaboard boat, figure out the following:

• What location do you see yourself living in?
• Pick a start date and location that coincides with good weather.
• Are you planning on living at a marina or anchoring off?
• Have you researched the local regulations to see if anchoring overnight is allowed?
• How long do you plan to stay in this area before moving on?
• Will you generally be cruising near the coast or do you need offshore capability?

Understanding your cruising goals, along with fuel needs, fresh water capacity, generator size, and other needed amenities, can help you back into both the right type of boat you need to be successful and the beginnings of a potential budget.

(Below: Some marinas, like Mangrove Marina in the Florida Keys, offer long-term liveaboard options.)

WHAT TYPES OF BOATS CAN YOU LIVE ON?

Traditionally there are several types of boats that liveaboard owners seem to learn towards when choosing the right vessel for their needs. Many of these types of liveaboard boats consist of the same characteristics, including being fuel efficient, but there are big differences at both ends of the spectrum. Large long-distance cruising yachts can cost millions of dollars and sustain living on board at sea for weeks at a time, while on the other end of the spectrum some sailboat owners have less than $25,000 invested. Understanding your boat budget and the ongoing costs can help dictate what type of liveaboard you need. Below are some examples of popular liveaboard boats:

• Aft Cabin Boats
• Cruising Boats
• Downeast Boats
• Expedition Yachts
• Motor Yachts
• Pilothouse Boats
• Power Catamarans
• Sailing Catamarans
• Trawler Yachts

Boat shows are an excellent place to step foot on board different types of boats for research. Which boats will have enough room for you? Which type of vessel is going to be easiest for you to manage? The Fort Lauderdale Boat Show is a great resource as almost every manufacturer is on display.

(Below: This Nordic Tugs 39 " PHYLLIS D " would make an excellent liveaboard for the right couple.)

WHAT SIZE BOAT DO YOU NEED TO LIVE ON?

Are there people out there that live on 18-foot sailboats and sail around the country? Yes, there are. Do you really want to live like that for months at a time? The answer is probably no. If you're serious about being a liveaboard boat owner, there is likely a minimum size you will need to comfortably live during your travels. There is also likely a size that becomes too large to either dock at a marina or efficiently manage within your budget. 

Captain Jeff Palmer , President of United Yacht Sales, has been around boats all of his life, been a captain of some of the most prestigious charter yachts on the water, and helped his own clients into their perfect boat. "My opinion is that the perfect sized liveaboard boat for a couple is between 35 and 45-feet," said Jeff. "That's going to give you enough interior space and enough storage, but is still going to be easy to manage."

"But size is only one factor to consider," he continued. "You also need to make sure you have a plan for food storage, supplies, a generator that supplies enough power, fuel capacity, and a lot more to consider. This is where hiring a knowledgeable yacht broker can really help streamline the entire process for you."

WHAT ARE THE TOP LIVEABOARD BOAT BRANDS?

Once you've determined the appropriate type and size of liveaboard boat you want for your adventure, it's time to narrow the search to a specific boat. Understanding the history, reputation, and availability of specific manufacturers and their models can help you determine the appropriate path for you, and your broker, to pursue. Research is paramount at this stage of your selection process and should include ample time spent on Youtube, inquiring with other owners on social media, and having numerous conversations with your yacht broker about your evolving needs.

Below are several examples of some of the top boat builders that design liveaboard models:

• Aquila Boats (Power Catamaran)
• Beneteau Boats (Both Sail & Trawlers)
• Fountaine Pajot (Sailing Catamarans)
• Grand Banks (Trawlers & Motor Yachts)
• Hampton Endurance Yachts (Long-Distance Motor Yachts)
• Hanse Yachts (Sailboats)
• Kadey-Krogen (Trawlers & Cruising Yachts)
• Nordhavn Yachts (Trawlers & Cruising Yachts)
• Outer Reef Yachts (Long-Distance Cruising Yachts)
• Sabre Yachts (Downeast)
• Tartan Yachts (Sailboats)

There are many opportunities for both sail and power boats on the brokerage market. You can also utilize the relationship with your yacht broker as your advisor if you decide to custom build a brand new liveaboard boat.

CAN YOU ANCHOR ANYWHERE YOU WANT ON A LIVEABOARD BOAT?

While the dream of having the freedom to live wherever you want on the water is the origin of your desires to own a liveaboard, the reality is that most cities have some regulations on where boats can legally anchor overnight. For example, new regulations passed in Broward County, Florida limit boat owners from anchoring more than 45 days in either the North or South Lake. In other words, every county within each state may have different regulations and laws you must abide by. "As of July 2021 the State of Florida enacted a law that allows municipal governments and counties to manage anchorages," said a statement in the Waterway Guide. "These new measures also provide guidance on the definitions of derelict vessels, use of unpermitted moorings and proof of pump-out when anchored for 10 days or longer in permitted mooring fields or No-Discharge Zones."

Another good resource to determine where you can anchor is the Active Captain tool by Garmin. This is a large community of boaters who can share their experiences and advice about anchorages. The site currently claims to have map way points to nearly 14,500 anchorages.

(Below: A screenshot of the Fort Lauderdale area on Active Captain showing where to anchor. Look for the green anchors!)

WHAT IS THE ACTUAL COST OF LIVING ON A BOAT?

Boaters that desire to live on board can make the cost of living less expensive than a more traditional home and life on land. By planning ahead, being strategic, and making some sacrifices, it certainly can be cheaper to live on a boat. If you're considering purchasing a liveaboard boat and want to make the leap to full-time living on the water, consider these factors when creating your budget:

• Fuel - Needed for both moving to a new location and for any generator on board (Solar panels can help!)
• Boat Insurance - Expect to pay between $500 - $1,000 per month, especially in Florida.
• Marina Slip Fees - Do you plan on taking advantage of the amenities (shower, laundry) at the marina?
• Boat Repair - Things are going to happen, it's smart to be ready with a special fund for boat repairs.
• Lifestyle - Are you going to want to hang out at the awesome bar & grill right on the beach, next to the marina? We think so.
• Health Insurance - Don't forget to keep this active! Those marina piling barnacles can be sharp!
• Other - Groceries, phone bill, wifi, and more. Just like living on land, there are luxuries you may not want to give up.

Can you live on a boat for free? Probably not and still be very comfortable. There are limits on how long you can anchor overnight, as mentioned above, so constantly moving locations and under sail, would be necessary.

HOW DO YOU MAKE MONEY WHILE LIVING ON A BOAT?

Unless you are independently wealthy or have a source of income that doesn't require you to be landlocked, there may come a time during your liveaboard experience that requires you to earn an income. Living on a boat can become expensive, particularly if you desire a certain lifestyle. In a recent poll on a Reddit boating group, a user asked what everyone did for money while living on board their boat. Here were some of the responses:

• TooCool1953: "Teaching English as a second language remotely."
• AJRando: "I do software development, modeling, and simulation."
• WhyRumAlwaysGone: "Marine electrician/Captain about 50/50."
• Witch_Wild: "Vlogging and freelance coding"

If you're good at social media, content about living on a boat does very well. While actual numbers online vary, Youtube is said to pay out between $5-$15 for every 1,000 views of a video. To put this into perspective, the video on this article has 230,000 views which at an average of $10 per 1,000 views means this video earned a total of $2,300 before taxes.

(Below: Many boaters are now turning to Starlink for WiFi while on board. This is a topic of concern among liveaboard owners who need to earn an income.)

WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS TO LIVING ON A BOAT?

If after considering all of the changes that must be made to switch from land life to boat life you still want to proceed, there are many things you can do simultaneously to get started.

• Determine where you want to begin your adventure and when.
• Start downsizing your life. There is only so much room on a 35-to-45 foot boat.
• Start collecting spare boat parts. While being a liveaboard boater, you're going to want two of everything.
• If you can, pay for a temporary slip so that you can methodically begin to move in before making the complete switch.
• Order a few liveaboard books off of Amazon like, The Essential Guide To Living On A Yacht
• Before you set off to your new location, have a survey done on your boat to spot any potential mechanical issues.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
