!!!!!!! PRICE REDUCED BY OVER $45,000 — MUST BE SOLD NOW!!!!! Seller is motivated & has taken “CLOUD NINE” on a “last sail” down to Baja, Mexico, & she is viewable there (She is now in Guaymas, Mexico). Guaymas is a great jumping off point for your cruising up int the Sea of Cortez or out to the world & she’s fully found & ready to go! Or, perhaps, it’d just be nice to have a great yacht down where it’s warm this Winter & get to the world cruising later.   This remarkable vessel is an excellent example of the justly famous Bowman 57 Ketch design. She is known to be a great sea boat and a fine cruiser of impressive capability (including an outstanding ability to point high whilst sailing to weather). Bowman Yachts embody the finest in British yacht- building traditions; these vessels are highly reputed and esteemed for offering long distance, blue water cruising in comfort and safety with luxurious accommodation. The expressions “seaworthiness” &” fine sea-keeping ability” only begin to describe the features of this exemplary yacht; she is a powerful & capable world cruising yacht of proven mettle; not only has she circumnavigated with her present Owners of nearly twenty years; in 2007 she became the first American-Flagged sailing yacht to complete the North-West Passage, East to West (in many ways the “Holy Grail” of ocean cruising). An awesome vessel, built to go to sea & to stay there, she is completely equipped for global cruising in any ocean; she features exceptionally robust hand laid-up solid (no core) fiberglass construction. This is a vessel capable of taking you anywhere on the world’s seas with the confidence that she has done it before and can do it again. Her double headsail ketch rig provides impressive power & performance with the ease of sail handling & versatility provided by her split rig configuration that is especially advantageous for short-handed sailing situations, and yet, she has comfortable accommodations for a crew of six to eight in three double staterooms, with large & comfortable main saloon, center-cockpit (with hydraulic steering) plus aft cockpit (with cable steering) and highly desirable great cabin aft configuration, two enclosed marine heads with showers, full galley with four burner range & oven as well as commodious refrigeration/freezer & storage space, large ship’s table & settee, lounging areas, dedicated Navigation Station, excellent light, visibility & ventilation, Diesel cabin heating , and much more. A well-found vessel with a great sail inventory, loads of equipment, gear, tools, extensive spares and MORE; this is a vessel that you can get aboard & go cruising: absolutely everything you need is already there; just put yourselves & the food on board and the world becomes your oyster. There is so much to this magnificent ketch that one simply must visit her to properly comprehend all she offers. We consider this vessel to present a rare opportunity and an outstanding value in an exceptionally well-found World-Class sailing yacht capable of impressive performance (even in conditions of heavy weather) with remarkable comfort, safety and speed on all points of sail.
