With her robust original build and practical and well thought out systems, she is perfect for further bluewater cruising with her new owners. At her current price level, she offers easy entry into large yacht, bluewater cruising, and she has the advantage that whatever your cruising programme, she probably already knows the way!

She is offered to her new owner in full cruising trim including the recent replacement of her standing rigging.

Owner’s Comments

ALERIA (formerly MANIC MOMENT, KESTREL, PAPAGAYO) is a classic Holman & Pye designed cutter-rigged ketch, built in 1976 in the United Kingdom for delivery to the US. She is the sistership to Roger Swanson’s CLOUD NINE, which was one of the first yachts to successfully traverse the NW Passage. She was featured in Cruising World (Quite the Ketch, May 2007: https://www.cruisingworld.com/sailboats/bowman-57-quite-ketch), on coastalboating.net, Bowman 57 Facebook page and on the covers of publications.

ALERIA is a very comfortable and fast cruiser for crossing oceans, coastal cruising and/or living aboard. Her classic lines and tumble-home hull never cease to draw other sailors to ask about her. Her balanced sail plan provides many options for maximizing speed and comfort while underway.

Recently she has received new standing rigging, as well as a thorough going over with many minor upgrades to make her ready for her next adventure.

She has been given “classics status” by Jauge Classique Handicap, JCH.

My husband, Alex, and I intended to be cruising the world for some time, with no particular plan to circumnavigate, and we had a pretty reasonable set of criteria for the vessel that would help us get there. The boat had to be sturdy, capable of handling heavy seas and possible collisions with floating objects, and manageable for each of us alone. It had to be comfortable under way and at anchor, and it had to be pretty. We expected to sail doublehanded for the most part, so we wanted a split rig.

At the end of a long search, the boat that sang to us was a Bowman 57 ketch, which was designed by Holman & Pye, who later designed many Oysters, and built in 1976 by Bowman Yachts, located in Southampton, England. We named her Aleria.

She’s a “boat-shaped boat” with beautiful lines, a delicate transom, and a wave-splitting bow. Drawing more than 8 feet, she’s not about to go gunkholing, but she’ll certainly handle a sea well. Her skeg-hung rudder is protected behind a substantial fin keel onto which the mast is stepped. The hull is solid fiberglass-no balsa core to rot, no foam core to get soggy or crack. If she hits something solid, she’s likely to bounce.

With a beam of less than 15 feet, the Bowman 57 is svelte by current standards, and the design’s slenderness makes a difference belowdecks. It’s possible to traverse her length with handholds all the way.

As was usual with boats of this size and vintage, Bowman 57s were customized for individual owners. Aleria, formerly Grand Dame, had been originally commissioned by the pianist Andre Watts. The galley has custom-designed tile work, Corian countertops, double stainless-steel full-size sinks, a three-burner stove, cabinets galore, and double refrigeration compartments. In this long galley, on the starboard side under the cockpit, bracing yourself is easy: Cabinetry and bulkheads bind its entire length.

The navigation station, to port at the foot of the companionway, has a nicely sized chart table. Adjacent to it is an office, with full-size drawers for paper charts, a desk for a computer, an office chair, cabinets, and more. The aft cabin has a single berth to starboard and a double to port with cushions between, both good sea berths. It doesn’t have enough storage space, but it could be easily modified. An adjoining head has a shower, a full-size toilet, and a porcelain sink.

The well-ventilated saloon seats six around the table using only the U-shaped settee, eight with chairs added at the end, and three more on the port settee. Forward are two cabins with two bunk berths each and another head and shower. In the forepeak is a workshop complete with workbench, vise, and cabinets.

Ketch rigged and with double headsails, the 57 can take on sail in small enough doses for each of us to be able to handle them. Aleria behaves like the big boat she is, responding more slowly to the helm than what we were used to. My first turn at the wheel was intimidating, but I took comfort in the feeling from the center cockpit that following seas were a long way “back there.” Once under way, balanced and in the groove, she sails like a freight train.

Only a handful of Bowman 57s were built. All have differences in layout; prices range from $250,000 to $350,000.

Bowman 57 Q&A's...

Based on the published Design Ratios for the Bowman 57, how would you expect the boat to perform under sail? These ratios indicate that the Bowman 57 is a moderate displacement cruiser, which means it can carry a lot of cruising gear without compromising its performance. The SA/D ratio suggests that the boat has enough sail area to move well in light winds, but not too much to become overpowered in strong winds. The B/D ratio shows that the boat has a good amount of ballast to provide stability and stiffness. The CSF value indicates that the boat has a low risk of capsize in rough seas.

Is the Bowman 57 still in production and, if not, when did production end and how many of these sailboats were built? The Bowman 57 is no longer in production. Production ended in the late 1980s after about 20 boats were built.

What, if any, alternative versions of the Bowman 57 were built? There were two main versions of the Bowman 57: the standard (or owner's) version and the optional (or charter) version. The standard version had four cabins: an aft cabin with a double and a single berth, a saloon with a U-shaped settee and a port settee, and two forward cabins with two bunk berths each. The optional version had five cabins: an aft cabin with a double berth, a saloon with a U-shaped settee and a port settee, and three forward cabins with two bunk berths each. The optional version also had an extra head and shower.

How many people can sleep on board a Bowman 57? Depending on the version of the boat, a Bowman 57 can sleep up to eight or ten people on board. The standard version has four cabins with seven berths: an aft cabin with a double and a single berth, a saloon with a U-shaped settee and a port settee, and two forward cabins with two bunk berths each. The optional version has five cabins with ten berths: an aft cabin with a double berth, a saloon with a U-shaped settee and a port settee, and three forward cabins with two bunk berths each.

How did the sailing press review the Bowman 57? The sailing press gave positive reviews to the Bowman 57, praising its design, construction, and performance. For example, Cruising World magazine described it as "slender, elegant, and spirited" and "a standard with refined styling" . One popular website called it "a perfect example of what a bluewater cruising yacht should be" . Berthon International yacht brokerage said it was "a silhouette that is immediately recognisable as a Bowman 57" and "perfect for ocean sailing" .

What do owners of the Bowman 57 have to say about their boats? Owners of the Bowman 57 have expressed their satisfaction and appreciation for their boats, highlighting their beauty, comfort, and reliability. For example, one owner said: "She’s a ‘boat-shaped boat’ with beautiful lines, a delicate transom, and a wave-splitting bow. She’s very comfortable underway and at anchor" . Another owner said: "She is a very comfortable and fast cruiser for crossing oceans, coastal cruising and/or living aboard. Her classic lines and tumble-home hull never cease to draw other sailors to ask about her" .

What is the history of the builders of the Bowman 57 and is the company still in business? Bowman Yachts was founded in 1964 by Norman Buckley in Emsworth, England. The company specialized in building high-quality fibreglass cruising yachts designed by Holman & Pye. Some of their most famous models include the Bowman 36, 40, 42, 46, 48, and 57. In 1986, Buckley sold the company to Rival Yachts, which continued to produce some of the Bowman models until 1992. In 1996, Rival Yachts was acquired by Starlight Yachts, which also took over the production of some of the Bowman models until 2002. In 2003, Starlight Yachts went into liquidation and ceased operations. Since then, no new Bowman yachts have been built.
