Broker's Comments
The Bowman Starlight 46 combines the talents of two top UK yacht designers, Stephen Jones, who has already displayed his skills with the Starlight 39 and 35, and Jonathan Sherwill who has gained a world reputation for interior design and layout.
Bowman have built a yacht of strength and grace in the Starlight 46. Producing a yacht which is an ocean thoroughbred with luxury and style, designed to be comfortably handled by only two people but when fully crewed, capable of being raced competitively in regattas and long-distance passage races. A choice of cutter or sloop rig reflects the owners sailing style.
This example has been with its current owner for 10 years and recently did the ARC in December 2025, and had upgrades and checks before the transatlantic crossing.
The 46 is currently being used by the owner but available for immediate purchase.
