it' s no secret that hmy yachts lists and sells more viking yachts than any other brokerage firm. the 60' - 70' viking market currently has an excellent selection of new and used yachts available. over the last 90 days, hmy has sold several used viking yachts in this range including a 2015 viking 70 convertible, two 68' convertibles, and several 64', 61', and 60' convertibles. here are 10 viking yachts between 60 and 70 feet that are available now and can get you on the water in a new boat for the summer fishing season .
the bowman 48 has been recognized by the british yachting establishment as being the one of thefinest british built design ever offered to the conservative long distance sailor. the bowman 48s were fast in comparison with traditionally styled yachts of the time, and had a lovely motion and forgiving steering and stability characteristics at sea. ten bowman 48' s are now cruising the world' s oceans and with the acquisition of the molds by rustler yachts of falmouth there are should be more to come .
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 .
the southampton based boat builders and repairers, rival bowman yachts limited, has been placed into administrative receivership. ryan densham, business recovery services partner at pricewaterhousecoopers was appointed joint administrative receiver on tuesday 6 november 2001 .
the bowman yacht range is well known and highly respected and in the past three years a new starlight range of yachts has been added to the company’s product range. the starlight yacht has been well received by the market .
the deal, whereby rustler yachts will take ownership of the tooling and manufacturing rights of the rival bowman and starlight ranges, will create many new jobs and strengthen rustler’s market share and reputation of building sea worthy blue water cruisers .
slender, elegant, and spirited, the bowman 57 is a standard with refined styling .
the assets of failed u. k. boatbuilder rival bowman have been sold, and the purchasers are operating from the existing rival bowman site, the joint administrative receiver said. stephen hall, of the bristol office of pricewaterhousecoopers, confirmed in mid - december, that it had sold the assets of rival bowman yachts ltd .
we werent able to sell the business as a going concern ,
he said .
we sold all the assets last thursday, 6 december .
back from the dead, eh. i regret i can' t shed any light on the history of bowman yachts but i remember this thread well. the boat in the video is not slamming but hobby - horsing. this is a condition of wind and sea where the yacht pecks away in the same hole to windward getting nowhere. slamming is what happens when you do it in a different boat to the bowman shown

then we sailed the boat. it was windy, as it always is on the solent on the fall and the boat stood up to all that wind beautifully and went like a train on rails. charles was overjoyed with the way it sailed - much faster than the former brett designs. the boot - top was repainted two inches higher on the hull, the displacement figure was changed on the sales brochures and bowman yachts went on to build more than fifty of the yachts and came back to me for 3 more designs .
over nearly 20 years, rival - bowman have carved themselves a niche for producing no - compromise cruising yachts. their quality, both in materials and workmanship, is the genuine variety rather than that claimed universally at boat shows and in brochures. whilst one can chose from a number of 40 - footers sporting greater volume interiors, extra cabins and more fashionable styling, the bowman 40 has the same sort of attraction a mercedes has over a similar - sized toyota sports car .
the bowman 42 is an upgraded and modernised version of the bowman 40. the counter stern has been lengthened in order to create more stowage space in the lazarette and a sleaker appearance to the yacht in general. two new keels have been designed in addition to the very shoal draft scheel keel which had been standard on the 40. the first bowman 42 has won many racing honours including first in class in the 1998 arc .
only a handful of bowman 57s were built. all have differences in layout; prices range from $ 250, 000 to $ 350, 000 .

you really couldn' t go far wrong choosing a bowman 40 for cruising, and being so solidly constructed means she' ll hold her value in today' s second - hand market .
according to hall, that process will take about six months, after which the company, originally founded in 1965 on the banks of the river itchen in southampton, will be no more. the yard originally built the peter brett - designed rival range of boats, producing more than 500 over the years. the tie - up with bowman came in the early 1980s and saw the range expand up to the bowman 84. ten years later, sadler international was added to the bowman group, with the two sadlers alongside the stephen jones - designed starlight 35 and 29 .
the bowman 48 is the perfect cruising yacht with excellent marine qualities and comfort. this lovely sailing yacht offers three cabins with a spacious salon and galley. the forward master cabin is en - suite with the two aft cabins share a separate bathroom. one owner from new, this bowman has been maintained in excellent condition and serviced by professionals. the interior teak wood has been fully restored and updated in 2016. this bowman 48 is ready to cruise and for a new owner to enjoy sailing with friends and family at sea. berth available with her in a beautiful marina near cannes .

the bowman 46 corsair was designed by holman & * pye as a capable offshore cruiser. the design became known as a proven passagemaker with a sea kindly motion and a fine turn of speed. purchased
the rival bowman company will now be gradually wound up .
there are certain statutory things we have to do ,
said hall .
after that the company will probably be struck off .
a bowman 45 with a special pedigree. this yacht has world cruising in her dna and is coming back to seek more horizons. the owners have cared for her with thoughtful, practical updates that they have
a wonderful opportunity to own a bowman 36 that has a beautifully crafted and presented interior. a much loved vessel reluctantly for sale due to owner' s ill health. a viewing would be highly recommended .
when the firm went into administrative receivership on november 6, the yards range included the chuck paine - designed bowman 42, 45, and 48, plus the stephen jones - designed starlight 35, 39 and 46 .
pricewaterhousecoopers was appointed joint administrative receiver of rival bowman yachts ltd. early last november. its task was to realize assets with a view to repaying, where possible, the appointer, other parties with charges that rank ahead of the appointer, and the preferential creditors. preferential creditors include government agencies, such as the inland revenue and department of social security, together with employee claims for wages, holiday pay and pension arrears. hall was not allowed to say who had bought the assets, although he confirmed
at the moment they are operating from the same site .
i sailed on a holman & pye designed bowman 45 of circa 1980. had the holman rolls really bad & to be honest it was a bit of a slowcoach. certainly was nothing special, although finish etc was first class. got the impression that the owner was not overly impressed either. he sold it after a few years (from new) for a one off design. if that was a typical bowman then you can keep them
the bowman 45 was adapted from the slightly earlier morris 44. she was 2 inches deeper in the water than the morris due to being built to lloyds standards and had 4 inches added to the height of the hull .
all manufacturing will move to falmouth, except for the starlight 46, which will continue to be constructed at the rival bowman ocean quay yard in southampton. plans include formation of a parent company to run all three separate brands .
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 .
i had my weather eye open for a new british customer and rival yachts were at the top of my list. their previous designer had passed away and the time would come when they would want a new design. i didn' t want to be an ambulance chaser so struggled with how i would introduce myself without appearing overly aggressive. i was spared the trouble .
i raced on a bowman 46 yawl in clyde week in 1973, a beautiful yacht and saw another one in kalamos a few years ago. the yawl version features in the proper yacht by arthur besier, a few pages about it .
china time, a 2012 viking yachts 70' enclosed bridge, is currently listed for sale with hmy yacht sales owner and ceo steve moynihan. china time has had the benefit of two very careful and knowledgeable owners who lavished her with service and maintenance that was always performed at the viking yachts service center in riviera beach. currently located in palm beach gardens, florida, china time can be seen by appointment. the twin 2600hp mtu engines have 3, 600 hours that perform wonderfully. she has a full complement of factory and custom options, a fabulous interior, and twin 27. 5kw onan generators that will keep you fishing in comfort. china time' s asking price is $ 3, 870, 000. to schedule an appointment or for more information on china time, please click here .
all of the bowman' s are beautiful... ...... .... but this one is in a league of her own. year 2000 and only 2 owners from new, she has only light use. blue hu
would she suit you and your crew? the bowman 40 was primarily designed for taking serious sailors offshore in all weather and sea conditions. very few sacrifices in seaworthiness have been made to make her more inviting for a horde of guests, but to me this feels right. and to prove it, take a look at the scandinavian blue water cruising yachts built today – most of them don’t look a lot different to this boat, do they? she is great for a couple who want to sail anywhere, anytime and still feel safe. there’s room for a guest couple, and even the kids, so long as they don’t expect to stay forever. i love the acres of lockers and the sensible use of any empty cavity for handy stowage, which is exactly what a cruising yacht needs. you really couldn’t go far wrong choosing a bowman 40 for cruising, and being so solidly constructed and well equipped means she’ll hold her value in today’s second - hand market .
with this background and the considerable skills of chuck paine, the bowman 40 has everything going for her. she has to be regarded as the near ideal ocean cruising yacht for between two and four people capable of passage - making to anywhere in the world without modification .
by modern awb -
average white boat
standards, she may seem a tad old fashioned - no sumptuous aft cabin and a relatively small cockpit - but great for passage making. on their launch back in the late 80s, bowman 40' s were described in a yachting monthly review as follows :
back from the dead, eh. the boat in the video is not slamming but hobby - horsing. this is a condition of wind and sea where the yacht pecks away in the same hole to windward getting nowhere. slamming is what happens when you do it in a different boat to the bowman shown
the companys turnover in the last financial year, which ended april 20, 2001, totaled gbp3. 7 million, and it recently employed 40 people, officials said. this is the second time pricewaterhousecoopers has dealt with receivership at bowman. on april 20, 1998, the company went into voluntary receivership, with the then - director and major shareholder, tony davies, citing
trading difficulties
as the cause of that crash. davies singled out the strong pound as the major problem .
the boat i was on, see earlier post, was a bowman 40. she was not hobby horsing but definately slamming. we were hard on the wind going around finesterre in bottom end of force 7, making steady and dry progress to windward, but she came off waves with a bang! it didn' t seem to make much difference if we bore off down the face of the wave. if we had reduced sail and speed we would then have hobby horsed and made little forward progress .
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 .
our 2009 viking yachts 60' convertible trade is an excellent example of a quality sportfishing yacht that is
turn - key
ready to get you out on the water in time for tournament season. currently located in north palm beach, florida, she is listed with hmy yacht sales professional doug donohue. our 60' convertible runs with cat c - 32a 1, 825hp engines that still have their cat platinum plus warranty through july 2018 or 4, 730 hours. enjoy driving from the custom palm beach towers tuna tower that includes a sunshade and cat controls and steering. the 3 - sided strataglass enclosure on the flybridge was just completely replaced in 2016. her asking price is $ 1, 860, 000. to schedule an appointment to see our 60' convertible or for more photos and information, please click here .

our 2012 viking yachts 66' convertible is currently located in north palm beach, florida and listed with hmy yacht sales professional pat kelly. this 66' viking is a beautifully outfitted convertible that is suited for family cruising or fishing offshore. she has low original hours (with extended warranty to 11 / 19 or 1800 hours), and has been professionally maintained since delivery to her very fastidious owners. the main deck layout on the 66 viking is the envy of the industry. to starboard aft is the l - shaped lounge and cocktail / dining table. forward is the functional and comfortable 6 place dinette. opposite is the galley with an island counter, under counter refrigeration, 2 bar stools and an over abundance of storage. aft to port is the entertainment center and the convenient day head. our 66' convertible listing has an asking price of $ 3, 189, 000. to set an appointment to view this viking 66' or for more information on the boat, please click here .
just in case an opportunity might arise i decided to spend my time stuck at that drafting table sketching my idea of the next rival yacht. the largest yacht in the rival line was a 41 footer and the next smaller a 38 so i figured 40 feet was about right. i had the sketch just about finished on my 3rd day standing at peter' s drafting table when 2 impeccably dressed
city types
walked over and peered down curiously at what i was doing. it turns out they both owned rival 36s and were at earls court looking at larger boats. they loved their rival 36s and would have preferred to stay with the same builder if only he had something larger. they took one look at my sketch and they had the answer. they dragged me and my sketch over to the rival stand and introduced me to charles maunder, the managing director of rival yachts. they said in unison
charles, if you build this design and add it to your line, we' ll both order one .
what’s she like to sail? the bowman 40 is a medium - to - heavy displacement yacht designed to sail across open oceans with ease. she is deep - bilged with an overhanging bow and narrowish shoulders, so her motion through the water is that of a powerful, but sea - kindly performer. this easy motion means life at sea on a long passage is not only possible, but positively enjoyable. on many boats, you can get utterly fed up with being thrown about down below for days on end, but that’s certainly not the case with the bowman. there’s always a handhold within reach, both below and above decks, and there are very few sharp edges to hurt yourself on. equally important is the general balance of the hull and sail plan. with her ample ballast, plus the engine weight over the keel and water tanks each side, she’s stiff and easily capable of standing up to her canvas. her steering is light, but positive and she tracks well thanks to her longish keel and skeg. the cutter rig keeps the sails small and offers greater flexibility in a gale, and the quality of the deck gear and fitting gives you confidence that she won’t fall apart when confronted with stormy conditions. she’s no racer, but neither is she a slouch, with her momentum and ability to carve through heavy seas, often she’ll arrive at a far destination at the same time as a much lighter performance yacht might, only her crew will be far more relaxed !
freebie, a 2007 viking yachts 64' convertible, is a highly customized 64’ viking with the preferred four cabin, three head layout. freebie is currently located in fort lauderdale, florida and listed with hmy yacht sales professional jeff creary. powered with upgraded mtu 16v2000 2030 hp engines. this vessel has been meticulously maintained by a full time captain. once you have left the teak cockpit that features mezzanine seating, access to the cabin is by way of a starboard located electric sliding door. the salon features a large sofa to port, and a teak credenza to starboard. the galley is to port with the dinette opposite of it to starboard. proceeding forward and down several steps there is a guest stateroom to starboard that is arranged with side by side beds and private access to the guest head which also has companionway access. the master is located on the port side of the companionway and has its own private head. a second guest stateroom is located on the starboard side of the companionway just forward of the laundry center. the fourth and final stateroom is forward and has an island bed and private head as well. freebie' s asking price is $ 1, 795, 000. to schedule an appointment to view freebie or for more photos and information, please click here .
hands - down, the
mo cuisle
is the most well - kept viking yachts 61' convertible available today. currently located in dania beach, florida, she is listed with hmy yacht sales professional jeff creary. meticulously maintained by a full time captain, this vessel has numerous upgrades such as mezzanine seating and ac in the cockpit. she features a three stateroom, three head layout with the optional vip crossover berth configuration forward, u - shaped seating and a new hi - lo 42
lg high definition tv in the salon. this vessel is equipped with twin generators, eskimo ice chipper, and a water maker. upon entering, one will find an upgraded u - shaped ultraleather sofa to port. looking to starboard one will find the master power distribution panel hidden behind a door. just forward is a credenza that contains the hi - lo plasma tv, storage drawers, a liquor cabinet and an icemaker. moving forward is a tasteful dinette. directly across from the dinette, one will find a well - appointed galley with granite countertops, sub - zero freezer / refrigerator drawers and a teak floor. down several stairs one will enter the companionway. the crew stateroom is immediately to starboard. just forward of the crew stateroom is the crew head and shower. mo cuisle has an asking price of $ 1, 250, 000. to schedule an appointment to see mo cuisle or for more photos and information, please click here .
what’s she like in port and at anchor? those more used to voluminous saloons and huge double berths might think the bowman a little cramped, but to my mind and in the option of many long - distance blue water cruising yachtsmen, too much space can be undesirable under way. her shoal draught is a boon upriver and at anchor, and she’ll dry out easily alongside a wall on her long keel base, but she does lack family living space and her cockpit isn’t exactly designed for easy mediterranean lounging. you need a ladder to climb up her transom and there’s no platform for showering after a swim. on the entertaining stakes she easily matches a more modern design. with her massive and extensively equipped galley and large saloon table you can easily cook dinner for six adults. sleeping is limited to two cabins and the saloon, but in return for the lack of a second aft cabin you get a much larger heads, a useful wet locker and a full - depth cockpit locker – far more important for blue water cruising unless you’re taking a large family with you .
the first bowman 40 was introduced at the london boat show a year later. i had already seen it earlier that fall, when i flew over for sea trials. they had that first boat in the water and the first thing charles said was
it floats 2 inches deeper than you said it would .
i said
it can' t possibly
but i took the freeboards and he was right. i had done all my laborious calculations using a visicalc estimate in excruciating detail - how could it possibly be that much heavier? they explained that of course they could not build the boat to the scantlings i had shown on my american style construction plans .
we can' t build boats as lightly as your drawings showed - to sell boats on britain we have to use lloyds scantlings
and that was the answer. lloyds scantlings assumed the use of more fibreglass mat and less woven roving than we were used to using in america. and since mat is weaker than roving, you have to use more of it to achieve adequate strength. i even considered making some concession to charles on the royalty to compensate for my failure to estimate the weight correctly but fortunately i held my tongue .

within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. her name is wild woman, but she is an endangered species. though the gifts of the wildish nature come to us at birth, society' s attempt to
civilize
us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life - giving messages of our own souls. without wild woman, we become over - domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped .

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 .
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 .
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 .
