ZIG ZAG Boat for Sale

45' Bowman | 1996 | $159,000

Grenada, Grenada

Zig Zag Boat | 45' Bowman 1996

Bowman 45 for sale in Grenada!  After a wonderful season sailing in the Caribbean, the current owners (sadly) need to return to work, and so are selling this beautiful vessel. The Bowman 45 is an outstanding long distance cruising yacht, designed by Chuck Paine and built to Lloyds standards, with thick hulls, a moderate keel and skeg protected rudder giving the crew a feeling of comfort and safety even in adverse conditions. A true offshore vessel, she has previously circumnavigated and recently crossed the Atlantic to the Caribbean. She tracks beautifully through any sea state, happily doing 5-6 knots in light airs, yet handling bigger blows with ease. She has made 9 knots!

The previous owners have continuously ensured all her elements are maintained to the highest standards. The interior is strongly built, comfortable and attractively light. She has been continually upgraded, including the following major upgrades in the last six months:

  • a bespoke stainless steel arch with dinghy lift and 800W of solar capacity
  • a complete Victron battery management system
  • a new Plastimo dinghy
  • a new high spec anchoring system (windlass, chain and anchor)
  • a new fridge and freezer system
  • a new starter engine and starter batteries

The original build and the upgrades make her the ideal vessel for cruising the Caribbean or for venturing even further beyond. Survey and rigging inspection from December 2023 available on request.

Denison Yachting is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by Horizon Yachts International.
