The Bowman 66 is a global cruiser of semi-custom design by Bowman Yachts, of Emsworth, UK.
Four yachts were known to be built in 1979/1980, two of which are known to still exist today. They are traditionally lined and styled, with a fin and skeg underwater profile, for heavy seas performance and enhanced seakeeping.
