Holman&Pye

[Wansworth]

Going to look at a Puma 26 here in Galicia but designed by Holman and Pye seems to have the typical tumblehome reminiscent of the 1970,and comments on their small boat designs?….Thanks

Kim Holman designed the Twister. What greater recommendation could there be?

Your biased?

 

[Poignard]

Your biased?

True!
And I might even be forced sell one before long ?
So no harm in bigging up the marque when I get the chance ?

Your biased?

I'm not biased, but I have sailed several Holman designs (Stella, Sterling, Twister, Lynx, Hustler30).

All are truly wonderful to behold, and even better to sail.

I don't know the Puma 26: Puma 26 — Sailboat Guide

More modern than the ones mentioned, so far, and the Don Pye influence is obvious.

So she hasn't quite, to my eyes, got the absolute pure gorgeousness, but I bet she sails well, handles well, and the layout looks good.

Yes ..more function over form especially the transome area,still beggars cannot be choosers…..very little choice hereaboutsfor my budget

My favourite is the Bowman 46.

My favourite is the Bowman 46.

That has tumblehome a bigger version ofthe Puma 26…..more or less but a move away from the Twisters etc

Why don't you buy a Twister? Go on, why doncha? You know you want to!

 

[NealB]

Difficult to choose just one!

If I'm being very fussy, the Bowman 46 isn't anywhere near the top, just based on good looks.

For grp production yachts, the Hustler 35 looks sweeter, to me.

Stellas are lovely: cruiser-racers, for the masses.

Shaker and Whisper, in their different ways, look pretty good!

I’m certainly not going to argue which is best, they’re all exceptional. The Bowman takes for me on the balance. The yawl rig especially. Centre cockpit, cabin layout, the package, not just the lines.

Absolutely no argument from here!
