The Yacht PRANIS

PRANIS is our Rival Bowman Starlight 46, formerly Lancastrian. We are preparing her as a safe and comfortable long-distance home.

Why We Chose Her

Strong construction, a protected cockpit, practical living space and enough capacity for longer voyages made PRANIS the right starting point for us.

Why She Suits Us

PRANIS is manageable by the two of us and practical enough to understand and maintain ourselves.

Refit Priorities

Safety and reliability come first. Then we improve autonomy and everyday comfort.

Following the Work

We are keeping notes as draft records, not sales copy or promises of completed work. Technical and Refit notes will hold the engineering detail; Specifications will collect confirmed measurements; Equipment and Safety will follow only when choices are verified aboard. If you have a weakness for boatyard dust and honest progress, you are welcome to follow along.
