Congratulations on the Bowman 46. She is beautiful.
We built a 53 foot yawl that was based on the 46 and looked just like a bigger version. Same centre cockpit and coach roof. Don Pye and David Cooper (of Holman and Pye) designed her. We built her ourselves in foam sandwich fibreglass in the mid 1970's.There were 3-6 of these bigger, much heavier at approx. 25 ton (cruising displacement) 46's built around the world. 2-3 in foam, one of aluminium in France. I believe one in steel in Australia. The first one was built for a business man in Colchester, she was called Nylanni. They sailed wonderfully and never slammed in a heavy sea and were fast! The Beam was 15ft 7 inches. Bowman's built his interior and liked the boat so much that they commissioned Holman & Pye to design the Bowman 57. However, the route out of Halmatics? yard, or into Bowman's (who laminated the hull) was narrow and so even though the 57 was bigger she had to have a beam under 15ft, hence the 57 having a beam of 14ft 8inches.
Just thought this might interest you as to the design history.
Best regards
Simon
