Bowman 57 Ketch Fast Cruiser

Handcrafted here in Western Australia by a father and son team with unimaginable hours committed to it's impeccable standard of finish, this truly beautiful vessel is genuinely something to admire. Built to Lloyds of London standards with cold-moulded frames and knees integrated at each frame and the hull itself is cold-moulded with 12 layers of Mahogany, Teak and Tasmanian Oak. Visually appealing with smooth modern lines, "Toroa VI" is a single screw, round bilge ketch with a centre-cockpit, rigged and built for ocean cruising, with substantial below deck accommodation. With a number of Fremantle to Bali races under it's belt, it has also proven itself as a competitive cruiser-racer. The sail wardrobe is substantial with a number of sails recently replaced along with all of the rigging in 2026. Auxiliary power is provided by an 80Hp Cummins diesel coupled to a direct shaft drive with a Feathering Prop. Onboard systems are powered by a 6.5Kva Panda generator supplying the refrigeration system and 240 volt hot water system and appliances. The timeless interior is a masterclass of craftsmanship with gloss timber finishes throughout the spacious saloon and three large cabins serviced by two bathrooms. Below decks you will not find a drop of water, which is further testament to the quality of construction. With a full array of electronics including Raymarine GPS and Sounder units, Radar and Auto-Pilot, setting sail on a new adventure is an immediate possibility. Take your time examining the photos provided and the true quality of this vessel will be obvious and it's allure will demand your further attention.
