Owners comments

The boat was built for the owner of Chiswell Marine and fitted out to a very high specification with a teak interior.  Fidget is a long-keeled, Bermuda-rigged, offshore cruising boat that has been well-maintained and updated by recent owners. The Bowman 36 is now a Classic, well known for her sea-kindly characteristics that make her such a comfortable cruiser.

Rigged with a fully battened mainsail with lazy jacks on single line reefing, a choice of two furling genoas – the second can be set on an inner roller forestay - and a cruising chute.  All lines lead aft to the cockpit and are held with jam cleats for short-handed sailing

A reliable, reconditioned in 2002, Mercedes diesel engine, very large fuel and water tanks give the boat long endurance and a bow-thruster aids manoeuvrability in tight marinas. Robust electrics, an efficient solar panel, and an excellent, integrated Raymarine navionics system with chart plotter, radar, radio with AIS and autohelm backed up by a stand-alone Garmin plotter for the helmsman make for easy navigation.
