Bowman 45 yacht- An outstanding long distance cruising yacht boasting many of the highly praised interior features of her bigger sister the Bowman 48. Offering genuine luxury accommodation, the Bowman 45 has been developed to explore the oceans of the world in safety and comfort while giving her owner complete confidence in her ability to handle any conditions she may encounter. As with all Bowman yachts, the interior of the 45 can be tailored to an owner's specification which provides each and every Bowman with that special custom-built character. An array of opening ports and hatches provide plenty of fresh air and daylight. Forward facing windows in the main saloon add a welcome brightness to the living area.

The predicted forecast was for a 15 knot winds building throughout the day until Friday afternoon when 30kts and 3 meter swells were expected to peak and then ease late that night with westerlies to15 kts on Saturday".

Boat Fenders For A Sailing Yacht, cylindrical or spherical?

Thu, 20 Sep 2007 16:00:13 +0200
Is there a practical reason why some cruisers choose round over cylindrical (or vice versa) fenders for a sailing yacht? I have been told the guide for fender size is 2.5cm per 1.5m (1" per 5') of boat length for cylindrical, and 5cm per 1.5m (2" per 5') for round; is this an effective measure? Some sailors also seem to think that suspending fenders from the hand railings/wire between staunchions is poor seamanship...is there a modern reason why this may be true?
