We’llSea is an ocean sailboat designed by Holman & Pye. With the recognizable, elegant lines of Holman & Pye, the Bowman 57, built in the UK in the 1970s and 1980s, has taken countless sailors across various oceans. Its practical split rig, safe center cockpit, and well-balanced hull shape make this yacht perfect for offshore sailing.
You can find these yachts in all the oceans of our planet, and they continue to provide a safe and comfortable platform for successful blue-water cruising. The current owners purchased We’llSea in 2021 in Ostend, after it had been neglected for about ten years. The engine was completely rusted, and to get her off the hard, they built a kind of platform at the back with an outboard motor.
After two years on the hard in Antwerp, she was allowed back into the water with a renewed engine and osmotic treatment. There is still much work ahead, but in the meantime, she is already ready to sail!
