The Bowman 47 boasts an excellent reputation for their impressive sailing performance, Bluewater capability, and super build quality. Featuring an 18mm thick solid Fibreglass hull for serious strength, many have cruised extensively including complete circumnavigations. This vessel is an excellent example of the design and has been enjoyed by the current experienced owners since 2007. During this time they have enjoyed extended cruising from Adelaide, up and down the East Coast of Australia, and to the stunning waters of Southern Tasmania. Australian Registered, the vessel has also been cruised around Indonesia under previous ownership. The vessel has also benefit from extensive upgrades by the current owners including NEW 2023 STANDING RIGGING, NEW 2023 TRACK AND SLIDES FOR THE MAINSAIL, NEW HP VOLVO DIESEL ENGINE, NEW 2019 YAMAHA OUTBOARD, NEW HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM, NEW 12V SWITCHBOARD WITH CIRCUIT BREAKERS, HULL SCRAPPED BACK AND RESURFACED (no osmosis found), NEW ANCHOR WINCH, NEW STAINLESS STEEL SOLID GUARD RAILS, PSS SEAL ON PROP-SHAFT, the list goes on!

Whether you want to enjoy the liveaboard life style, cruise with friends and family, or set off on the adventure of a lifetime, this is a vessel that can do it all in safety and style.

Stepping inside, the timber trims and clean white finishes create a warm and welcoming ambience. The generous saloon features a large dinette to port with seating for 8 in comfort on the neatly upholstered settees. Complete with TV, reading lamps, and warmth from the Webasto Diesel Heater, this is a great space to relax and enjoy quality time onboard. The well appointed galley runs along the port side, and is ideal for preparing meals underway. This is fully equipped with a large top loading fridge, 4 burner gas stove with oven and grill, double bowl stainless steel sink with H/C pressurised water, and plenty of storage for longer extended cruising. The accommodation is ideal for cruising with friends and family. The master cabin is aft and has a large double berth, excellent storage, and dual access from the cockpit and galley. There is a second private double cabin forward, single midships pilot berth (currently used as storage), and there are two single settee berths in the saloon when additional accommodation is required. The package is complete with a private bathroom with electric toilet, and separate shower and vanity opposite.

Outside, the cockpit is fully protected by the hard dodger, bimini, and full set of clears, creating a pilothouse like feel. Adorned with cockpit cushions, you can enjoy the views in complete comfort! Well set up to be easily sailed shorthanded, the vessel features a furling headsail and staysail, mainsail in boom bag with lazy jacks, NEW mast track and slides for the mainsail for easy handling, and Raymarine autopilot. There is easy access around the wide side decks, and the solid stainless steel guard rail and high bulwarks provide excellent security in challenging offshore conditions. Superbly equipped for serious cruising, the vessel also features an electric anchor winch with oversized anchor, heavy duty dinghy davits for the quicksilver tender with outboard, wind generator, AIS, and HF Radio.

This vessel is powered by a NEW 2012 Volvo D2 75HP Diesel Engine with only 554hrs on the clock! The engine bay was fully refurbished as part of the installation, and is superbly insulated and set up. Well maintained and reliable, the engine provides easy and economical cruising at 5-6 knots.
