A proven offshore platform becoming our home.
PRANIS is a Rival Bowman Starlight 46, formerly Lancastrian. Her construction, protected cockpit and practical interior give us the right foundation for safe and comfortable long-distance cruising.
Built for movement, watchkeeping and real work.
The twin steering positions, protected central cockpit and clear deck routes make the yacht manageable both underway and at anchor.
Steering
Twin wheels provide good visibility and access while keeping the working cockpit organised.
Deck layout
Wide working areas and practical access are more important to us than decorative complexity.
Offshore function
Every fitting, route and handhold must work in weather, not only look tidy in harbour.
Space to live, rest and work properly.
The interior is not treated as an occasional cabin. It must function as a quiet, dry and practical apartment at sea.
Saloon
A central living and working space with secure seating and useful storage.
Galley
A functional pantry for everyday cooking, not a decorative showpiece.
Cabins
Good ventilation, useful storage and proper sleep are essential parts of seaworthiness.
Safety and reliability first. Autonomy and comfort built on top.
She is not new and she is not finished. The refit gives us the opportunity to understand every system, retain what is sound and improve only what genuinely needs improvement.
