teddy ruxpin is an animatronic children 's toy in the form of a talking bear .

the bear 's mouth and eyes moved while " reading " stories that were played on an audio tape cassette deck built into its back .

it was created by ken forsse with later assistance by larry larsen and john davies , and the first version of the toy was designed by the firm rks design .

later versions would use a digital cartridge in place of a cassette .

at the peak of his popularity , teddy ruxpin became the best-selling toy of 1985 and 1986 , and the newest version was awarded the 2006 animated interactive plush toy of the year by creative child magazine .

a cartoon based on the characters debuted in 1986 .

teddy ruxpin’s secret was in the cassette tape . the special teddy ruxpin cassettes used the two tracks ( left and right ) of a standard audio cassette tape differently : the left track contains the audio , while the right track encodes the toy’s movements .
phil : i’m still doing teddy . in fact , i did a session a few months back for back pack’s new teddy computer program . teddy lives !

ely , my son’s teddy was not able to be fixed and he was replaced with a new teddy ruxpin . i am so pleased with the customer service at wct and their commitment
over the years teddy ruxpin had quite a large following . so large companies made extra outfits and accessories for ruxpin . there was a tuxedo , christmas outfit , a raincoat , sleeping outift and many more .

alchemy points to the several alleged similarities between the packaging of teddy ruxpin and the packaging of tv teddy . first , teddy ruxpin ' s box contains the phrase
world ' s first animated talking toy ,
while tv teddy ' s says
television ' s first interactive talking friend .
second , the back of the ruxpin box has a photograph of a blond girl with a white ribbon in her hair . she is holding teddy ruxpin is her lap , and is apparently reading
to
or
with
him . there is a photograph on the side of the tv teddy box of a brunette girl with a red ribbon in her hair . the child is hugging tv teddy . third , the color of the box that tv teddy is packaged in and the color of one of the many children ' s books containing a teddy ruxpin story are
virtually identical .
these
similarities
are insufficient to demonstrate a likelihood of confusion .
we are thrilled and honored to have teddy ruxpin recognized by such a valuable , respected publication ,
says ed hames , president of backpack toys , the company responsible for teddy ruxpin ' s return .
like creative child magazine , backpack toys aims to inspire imagination and creativity within children - teddy ruxpin is a trusted friend who helps children develop a love of reading , opening their eyes to a world of magical adventures .
the first manufacturer of teddy ruxpin was worlds of wonder . it also offered a companion toy called grubby which could be connected to ruxpin with a cable . this would allow the two toys to “talk” to each other saying prerecorded sentences .
the only true similarities between teddy ruxpin and tv teddy are that they are both talking teddy bears . the idea of such a toy is not protectable under the copyright laws of the united states . thus , summary judgment in favor of defendant yes ! is appropriate .
teddy ruxpin will still read stories with a motorized mouth . but now he has color lcd eyes that show 40 animated expressions synched to the stories .
my grandson will loves , his eyes are so magical i bought the original teddy ruxpin for my boys when they were little and they loved it .
commercials for the toy emphasized the difference between teddy ruxpin and its primary competitor , ag bear , which could talk but not sing or tell stories .
francie , have you tried the link embedded in the original answer ? just click on the blue
this on teddy ruxpin
. . . .
i had teddy ruxpin made by : worlds of wonder inc . yes ! ent . backpack toys inc . i didn ' t buy the playskool .
worlds of wonder also manufactured a talking grubby toy that could interact with teddy ruxpin when the toys were connected to one another . smaller dolls and action figures of teddy and several of his friends are also available .
how does the toy know the difference between a teddy ruxpin cassette and a normal cassette ? a special hole in the top of the teddy ruxpin cassettes tells the teddy bear that the right track contains movement data . if the notch isn’t present , the player then assumes that a normal cassette was being played , and it avoids interpreting the right track as movement queues .
like with my last dolly flashback , i have created a few videos to show off all that teddy is ! the video below features teddy telling us the story of ‘the airship’ . this tape came with teddy ruxpin and introduces us to the characters , grubby and newton gimmick .
this vintage teddy ruxpin doll was picked from an estate in east tennessee . the tape and speakers work but the animatronics do not . thanks for looking .
the adventures of teddy ruxpin
is an episode of abc weekend specials starring patrice auburne , phil baron , and bobby bell . teddy ruxpin , a bear - like creature called a illiop ; grubby , a caterpillar ; and prince arin set forth to see the world and battle evil along the way .
original , 10 / 03 / 2016 : remember teddy ruxpin , the cuddly bear that could talk , blink , and tell stories ? from 1985 to 1990 , teddy ruxpin was one of the most popular toys around — and now , in an attempt to woo nostalgic parents who remember their own teddy toys from when they were kids , he ' s making a comeback .
this is a teddy ruxpin power kit . the pictures shows how easy it is to connect or disconnect . this kit will fix the common corrosion in teddys battery box . this kit allows teddy to run without batteries .
ruxpin showed that toys can be much more realistic . the teddy bear could yawn , frown , giggle . it needed the prerecorded tapes to do that because they had the instructions for the toy . even if a little creepy , ruxpin will always be loved and remembered as the trend setter . today’s interactive toys have a lot to thank to teddy ruxpin and his creator ken forsse for carving the path .
teddy ' s name originally belonged to prince arin , but ken forsse liked it so much that he gave it to teddy .
on the heels of teddy ruxpin came a second big success from worlds of wonder : lazer tag , a game with guns that shoot infrared beams at targets .
, he is a nervous caterpillar ( octopede ) . he says that he hates adventure , but teddy ruxpin is his friend and he will follow him anywhere .
but that was decades ago . since 1985 , the license to produce the teddy ruxpin toy line has been passed from company to company and his future has been shaky at best . but things are looking up for teddy ruxpin . he has a new home at toy manufacturer backpack toys and they’ve revamped this classic toy .
struggling toymaker yes entertainment corp . , best known for the yak bak , power penz and teddy ruxpin electronic toys , filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection yesterday .
teddy ruxpin was one of the most popular toys of 1985 and 1986 , which says a lot seeing as how they were originally priced at us $ 70 . 00 . one article states the company sold 93 million ( us ) dollars worth of teddy ruxpin bears by 1988 . it even spawned an animated television show .
the world of teddy ruxpin by worlds of wonder co . - this plush toy , ' teddy ruxpin ' , is a children ' s talking teddy bear . it is an example of 1980s technology when toys changed from being static to interactive . the soft toy is the first commercial application of animatronics ( electronic plush ) developed by a former disney animatronics engineer , ken forsse and his company alchemy ii . teddy ruxpin was then made commercially and marketed by worlds of wonder co . , of freemont , california , usa , between 1985 and 1988 .
with the upgrade , ruxpin also got a companion app that lets kids read along with him .
teddy ruxpin answer box complete in box . 1988 appears to never have been used as seen in pictures . please see pictures for details and condition . feel free to ask any questions before bidding . untested . teddy ruxpin is not included . check out my other auctions for more worlds of wonder items ships only within the usa
meanwhile , alchemy executives are clearly nervous . teddy ruxpin was alchemy ' s biggest source of income , but alchemy has become merely a creditor of an ailing company .
new york ( cnn ) - teddy ruxpin , the animated stuffed animal popular in the 1980s , is returning to stores in september after being updated with digital technology .
teddy ruxpin is back and better than ever ! your child will love his expressive lcd eyes and motorized mouth as he tells them one of the three included stories .
cartoons are initially cheaper to make than live costume shows such as teddy ruxpin , forsse said . but the cost of retaining artists to draw new cartoons is higher on a series than the cost of using actors and existing sets and costumes for a ruxpin - type show .
hasbro inc . , reviving another toy whose developers have fallen on hard times , says its playskool subsidiary has obtained marketing and licensing rights to the teddy ruxpin talking bear .
the company wants to capitalize on the nostalgia of the first generation of ruxpin fans , which it dubs the teddy generation , who have now grown up and become parents .
12 . alchemy claims that the marks , and indeed the bears themselves , must be similar because there has been actual confusion in this case . alchemy ' s evidence of confusion consists of the following : ( 1 ) fifteen phone calls received by hasbro ( the company currently marketing teddy ruxpin ) inquiring as to where consumers could purchase tv teddy , ( 2 ) the declaration of ann stockman stating that another person , a designer named ravi sawhney ,
was shocked to learn that tv teddy was not teddy ruxpin ,
stockman decl . 9 : 10 - 12 , and ( 3 ) various newspaper articles comparing the two toys which refer to tv teddy as an improved or newer
version
of teddy ruxpin .
this blond teddy bear of genuine mohair from steiff is made by hand in germany . this teddy bear is expensive and is best chosen as a special gift for a serious teddy bear collectors over a small child .

teddy ruxpin , a bear - like creature called a illiop ; grubby , a caterpillar ; and prince arin set forth to see the world and battle evil along the way .
teddy ruxpin is not a bear ; he is an illiop . similarly , gimmick is a perloon , and the monkey creatures in the masks with the planes are called gutangs .
companies also made quite a few prerecorded stories teddy ruxpin could tell to the kids . ruxpin was the best selling toy in 1985 and 1986 . and the 2005 version was named the 2006 animated interactive plush toy of the year by creative child magazine . it was made until 2010 .
these are the best teddy bears to share as gifts for children and adults . teddy bears have been around for generations and are well loved by young and old . teddy bears arrive in all shapes , sizes and colors . there are many choices of teddy bears . while teddy bears can always be bought in gift stores and toy stores , there are many special companies who design handmade teddy bears that can only be bought online .
teddy ruxpin comes packaged with the airship , a captivating adventure programmed on a child - friendly , durable adventure / song cartridge that brings teddy to life . also included are a beautifully illustrated storybook and an accompanying read - along / story - songbook .

phenomenon , none have come close to capturing this character’s endearing charm… until now . advancements in technology the past 20 years have made teddy ruxpin a better toy both on the inside and outside . the new and improved teddy ruxpin is smaller , more durable , better sounding , and more affordable . depending on the retailer , teddy ruxpin can cost between $ 50 – $ 70 . a lot of parents will think twice before spending that much for a teddy bear , but keep in mind that the original toy from the 1980s cost about $ 100 and wasn’t as durable or well made as the new version .
and since it’s 2017 , the latest incarnation of teddy ruxpin comes with it’s own app where you can download more stories if your children can get past the fact that this teddy 2 . 0 will probably give them nightmares . unfortunately you won’t be able to put your old cassette tapes in his back like the old teddy 🙁
we think long - term , teddy ruxpin is a very viable franchise ,
mr . charness said .
it has not been promoted or advertised in two years .
teddy ruxpin online is re - launching august 8 , 2017 pardon our dust . . . . . but browse what we ' ve got up so far and come back soon !
selling teddy ruxpin water safety with teddy ruxpin book and cassette nib . box has some signs of wear but in overall good condition . see photos to determine for yourself . cassette and book are in excellent condition . from a smoke free and pet free home . if you have any questions message me and i will get back to you as soon as possible .
mr . kingsborough , 40 years old , formerly served as a marketing executive at the atari corporation . when he started worlds of wonder , he licensed a toy teddy bear , teddy ruxpin , from its creators , alchemy ii , a southern california company .
up for sale is this large lot of teddy ruxpin toys ! also includes vhs tape of grubby’s romance movie . teddy will play a tape but mouth and eyes do not move . grubby is untested . i will be out of the co . . .
alongside teddy , worlds of wonder created a companion doll , grubby , to work alongside teddy . the downside of grubby was that unless you had a teddy and the proper connection cord , grubby was just a statue piece .
teddy’s questionable constitution did nothing to diminish his popularity . in 1987 , forsse got his wish for a series exploring teddy’s mythology when dic entertainment produced 65 episodes of the adventures of teddy ruxpin ; he was used as a spokes - bear for area fire departments , lecturing children on the stop , drop , and roll technique ; and one terminally ill child asked that teddy read a special lullaby at her funeral .
kids today have all sort of ‘electronic’ toys they play with , but none of those toys match teddy ruxpin . he may not move his hands or feet or connect to wifi , but worlds of wonder created an animatronic marvel with teddy and their other toys . the facial movement on teddy alone goes unmatched in toy releases since then .
my tape collection for him has grown from six to ten in the span of two weeks ! this past week , i replaced two tapes that were working less than perfect ( the airship and teddy ruxpin’s birthday ) , purchased 3 ‘special’ tapes that were manufactured for fire stations during fire station tours , and ordered something my teddy has wanted for , well , forever , the teddy ruxpin christmas set ( with santa suit , book and tape ) .
kids adored teddy ruxpin so much that he became a multi - billion dollar product in five years ,
said jeremy padawer , co - president of wicked cool toys , the company behind ruxpin 2 . 0 . ( the original teddy was created by ken forsse and alchemy ii in 1982 . wicked cool toys is working with alchemy ii on the new iteration . )
some less expensive toys are doing better . brady says every teddy ruxpin he had was snapped up at $ 30 , down from $ 70 last christmas . little boppers are doing well .
as the exclusive licensee , wow was entitled to take the legal action necessary protect the teddy ruxpin copyrights . the license agreement also contained a specific grant of this right , providing that :
c reated by ken forsse ( with assistance from his brilliant team of alchemists ) and voiced to life by phil baron , teddy ruxpin made his first friend request in the fall of 1985 .
in her book “toys and american culture , ” sharon m . scott described teddy ruxpin creator ken forsse as “the father of animatronic toys , ” who influenced toy robotics for years to come .
although a list of differences is not relevant to application of the intrinsic test , it does demonstrate why an observer , adult or child , would not find the two bears similar in overall appearance or performance . the bears have vastly different coloring . their clothing is different : teddy ruxpin wears a tan , sleeveless top over a reddish brown
jumpsuit ,
while tv teddy wears a purple colored sweatshirt with brightly colored trim , and no
bottoms
at all . their eyes are oriented in different directions and are of different colors , teddy ruxpin ' s being brown , while tv teddy ' s are blue . tv teddy has a tail , teddy ruxpin does not . teddy ruxpin has a tuft of fur on his head , tv teddy does not . their body shapes are entirely different , with the proportions of hands , feet , torso , head , and ears varying greatly . finally , the audiovisual presentation of each toy is significantly different . the bear ' s voices are dissimilar . teddy ruxpin
narrates
a story , while the voices and sounds of the rest of the story are also broadcast from his torso . tv teddy , on the other hand , interacts with a video story . sometimes he addresses a tv character , while at other times he speaks to a child companion . only his own voice emanates from his body .
taking advantage of 32 years of electronics miniaturization , the new teddy ruxpin no longer feels like you ' re lifting a hefty cassette player that ' s been wrapped in fur . there ' s still a giant box of electronics inside teddy ' s torso , however , mostly due to a set of four aa batteries crammed in there . a sleeker rechargeable battery inside might have helped to better shrink teddy ruxpin ' s electronic footprint and make him feel even more cuddly .
the new teddy retails for 69 . 99 just like the original back in 1985
according to worlds of wonder , the licensee , more than a million teddy ruxpin dolls will be sold by christmas . a spokesman for toys r us , the toy - store chain , said the teddy ruxpins are selling better than cabbage patch dolls did during their first year .
up for sale is this large lot of teddy ruxpin toys ! also includes vhs tape of grubby’s romance movie . teddy will play a tape but mouth and eyes do not move . grubby is untested . i will be out of the country from june 15 - july 1 .
everyone is talking about how scary pennywise is in the new version of it but what about another ’80s icon , teddy ruxpin ? the cuddly , blinking , talking teddy bear that was the christmas toy back in the mid ’80s is baaaack ! and he’s more terrifying than ever .
original teddy ruxpin dolls became collectors ' items when production by world of wonders ended after three years in 1987 . a short - lived version of the bear was also produced by playskool in 1993 .
the new teddy ruxpin ' s most obvious upgrade is a pair of glowing lcd eyes that proved to be a divisive feature among gizmodo staffers . gone are the mechanical moving peepers of the original ruxpin that terrified a seven - year - old andrew who found them eerily similar to the soulless eyes used on ventriloquist dummies . i was happy to stare in awe at the original teddy ruxpin behind glass at toys
r
us , but at no point did i ever want to invite that bear into my home .
bought the licensing to teddy and started distribution of their version of the teddy ruxpin doll . what has changed in over 10 years you ask ? well for starters yes ! gave teddy a whole new look with a red shirt with a yellow stripe and blue pants . yes ! also changed the cartridges back to cassettes . sales were not as impressive as the original
teddy sets out to return the scuba equipment to its rightful owner , and is attacked by dredge , who wants him for dinner . the monster pulls the helmet off of teddy ' s suit and traps him in an underwater cave . teddy is
ruxpin will always be remembered as the front - runner in animated stuffed animals . it continues to be popular and sought after . currently there are lots of versions of ruxpin on ebay with prices ranging from great deals to way too expensive .
but teddy ruxpin was soon buried by an avalanche of talking toys from competitors . and worlds of wonder was unable to satisfy the initial burst of demand for lazer tag last christmas . demand later subsidied .
had the new teddy ruxpin included interactive features , like engaging with kids or responding to voice commands with even a basic level of intelligence , it would have easily been able to compete with toys like hello barbie , or sphero ' s new spider - man . but its dated functionality — basically reading stories and singing songs — means fewer kids will be interested . nostalgic parents who grew up with the original might be the new teddy ruxpin ' s most interested demographic , but in another 32 years the original teddy ruxpin will still be the one those retired ' 80s kids will be hunting for on ebay .
teddy ruxpin is a children ' s toy talking bear . the bear would move his mouth and eyes while ' reading ' stories which were played on an audio tape cassette deck built into his back .
teddy ruxpin was a little creepy looking and its ads further helped that image . like the one you will see below , the ad takes cue from the frankenstein movies which are the definition of creepy .
worlds of wonder sold $ 93 million worth of teddy ruxpins - - which at first were priced at an elite $ 70 a bear - - in the first year , and the toy inspired the television cartoon series
the adventures of teddy ruxpin ,
which still airs in syndication .
in the early 1990 ' s , worlds of wonder , teddy ruxpin ' s original manufacturer , went bankrupt . the license was transfered to playskool , who briefly produced a smaller version of teddy which used cartridges instead of cassette tapes to make teddy animate . in 1996 , hasbro ' s license expired , and for about a year teddy was without a manufacturer for the first time . during the same time , don kingsborough ( the founder of worlds of wonder ) was having some success at the latest company he had created , yes ! entertainment . kingsborough signed on for another round of teddy , and in 1998 yes ! released a new version of teddy ruxpin , this time he featured a red shirt and blue pants instead of the classic tunic , and went back to using cassette tapes instead of cartridges to make teddy talk .
worlds of wonder took the toy world by storm two years ago with teddy ruxpin , a stuffed bear that
talked
with the assistance of a special cassette tape and retailed for a whopping $ 70 .

placement aside , teddy ' s new eyes are much more expressive than anything i had back when i was a kid . while it was cool that teddy ' s eyes would open and close as his mouth moved to tell me a story , ruxpin had the same blank expression throughout the tale .
as of 1985 , your teddy bear could read you a story in addition to snuggling with you at bedtime . the lovable story - time bear teddy ruxpin used cassette tapes to
read
to its young companions . kids had disney engineer ken forsse to thank for this bit of family - friendly technology . forsse and his team used the same technology deployed in the talking creatures seen at disneyland attractions to make teddy ruxpin come to life and created their own company , worlds of wonder , along the way .

one toys r us exec is quoted as saying , “teddy ruxpin’s are selling better than cabbage patch dolls did during their first year” , just after teddy was released in 1985 . that’s a pretty awesome statement if you think about how large the cabbage patch craze was when they first hit store shelves in 1983 .

for anyone who misses teddy ruxpin being available , you’ll be pleased to hear a brand new version is planned for release in 2017 . i suspect that one will include internal storage and wifi for connection to an online story store .
teddy’s popularity was sustained through a number of cassette tapes with different stories and clothing packs . the company filed for bankruptcy in 1988 and officially closed its doors in 1990 . we can only imagine what they would have continued to create if they hadn’t closed their doors . teddy ruxpin was the first of its kind and the original teddy , i think , still holds up quite well compared to animatronic toys of today .
the original teddy ruxpin did things no toy had ever done before , capitalising on a technology that had only been popularised a few years prior with sony ' s walkman . but the new teddy ruxpin now has to compete in a market where it ' s rare for a toy not to include some electronic functionality , not to mention smartphones and tablets packed full of endlessly entertaining apps . a gizmodo staffer ' s two - year - old , who has a history of loving weird robot toys , spent some time with both the original and the new teddy ruxpin . not only did the eyes fail to bother her , she didn ' t seem to have much reaction to either bear at all .
alchemy ii is also earning royalties on a just - released teddy ruxpin talking doll , a hot item despite its steep $ 70 retail price . the toy is made by a fremont , calif . , company through a licensing agreement .
two decades before smartphones and tablets absorbed americans with virtual social interaction , the plush bear teddy ruxpin arrived in 1985 for $ 70 as a portable , huggable pal that warbled songs such as “my friend” and “come dream with me . ”


bowman yachts is a brand of the british premium yachtbuilder rustler yachts , which is based in falmouth , cornwall .

they are known for handbuilding traditionally styled glassfibre composite ocean cruising yachts , with a high quality of workmanship .

bowman existed as an independent company for many years , before merging with rival yachts to form rival bowman .

the company went into receivership in november 2001 , and was acquired by rustler yachts in 2002 , which moved manufacturing to its yard in falmouth .

both rustler 's own yachts , and yachts produced under the bowman brand , are produced in the same factory constructed in 2005 , as was the starlight brand , formerly owned by rival bowman , until 2011 .

bowman hulls are available part complete for fitting out by the owner , in addition to factory-completed boats .

the bowman 48 has been recognized by the british yachting establishment as being the one of thefinest british built design ever offered to the conservative long distance sailor . the bowman 48s were fast in comparison with traditionally styled yachts of the time , and had a lovely motion and forgiving steering and stability characteristics at sea . ten bowman 48 ' s are now cruising the world ' s oceans and with the acquisition of the molds by rustler yachts of falmouth there are should be more to come .
at the end of a long search , the boat that sang to us was a bowman 57 ketch , which was designed by holman & pye , who later designed many oysters , and built in 1976 by bowman yachts , located in southampton , england . we named her aleria .
the southampton based boat builders and repairers , rival bowman yachts limited , has been placed into administrative receivership . ryan densham , business recovery services partner at pricewaterhousecoopers was appointed joint administrative receiver on tuesday 6 november 2001 .
the bowman yacht range is well known and highly respected and in the past three years a new starlight range of yachts has been added to the company’s product range . the starlight yacht has been well received by the market .
the deal , whereby rustler yachts will take ownership of the tooling and manufacturing rights of the rival bowman and starlight ranges , will create many new jobs and strengthen rustler’s market share and reputation of building sea worthy blue water cruisers .
slender , elegant , and spirited , the bowman 57 is a standard with refined styling .
the assets of failed u . k . boatbuilder rival bowman have been sold , and the purchasers are operating from the existing rival bowman site , the joint administrative receiver said . stephen hall , of the bristol office of pricewaterhousecoopers , confirmed in mid - december , that it had sold the assets of rival bowman yachts ltd .

he said .
we sold all the assets last thursday , 6 december .

then we sailed the boat . it was windy , as it always is on the solent on the fall and the boat stood up to all that wind beautifully and went like a train on rails . charles was overjoyed with the way it sailed - much faster than the former brett designs . the boot - top was repainted two inches higher on the hull , the displacement figure was changed on the sales brochures and bowman yachts went on to build more than fifty of the yachts and came back to me for 3 more designs .
over nearly 20 years , rival - bowman have carved themselves a niche for producing no - compromise cruising yachts . their quality , both in materials and workmanship , is the genuine variety rather than that claimed universally at boat shows and in brochures . whilst one can chose from a number of 40 - footers sporting greater volume interiors , extra cabins and more fashionable styling , the bowman 40 has the same sort of attraction a mercedes has over a similar - sized toyota sports car .
the bowman 42 is an upgraded and modernised version of the bowman 40 . the counter stern has been lengthened in order to create more stowage space in the lazarette and a sleaker appearance to the yacht in general . two new keels have been designed in addition to the very shoal draft scheel keel which had been standard on the 40 . the first bowman 42 has won many racing honours including first in class in the 1998 arc .

according to hall , that process will take about six months , after which the company , originally founded in 1965 on the banks of the river itchen in southampton , will be no more . the yard originally built the peter brett - designed rival range of boats , producing more than 500 over the years . the tie - up with bowman came in the early 1980s and saw the range expand up to the bowman 84 . ten years later , sadler international was added to the bowman group , with the two sadlers alongside the stephen jones - designed starlight 35 and 29 .

after that the company will probably be struck off .

a wonderful opportunity to own a bowman 36 that has a beautifully crafted and presented interior . a much loved vessel reluctantly for sale due to owner ' s ill health . a viewing would be highly recommended .
when the firm went into administrative receivership on november 6 , the yards range included the chuck paine - designed bowman 42 , 45 , and 48 , plus the stephen jones - designed starlight 35 , 39 and 46 .
pricewaterhousecoopers was appointed joint administrative receiver of rival bowman yachts ltd . early last november . its task was to realize assets with a view to repaying , where possible , the appointer , other parties with charges that rank ahead of the appointer , and the preferential creditors . preferential creditors include government agencies , such as the inland revenue and department of social security , together with employee claims for wages , holiday pay and pension arrears . hall was not allowed to say who had bought the assets , although he confirmed
at the moment they are operating from the same site .
i sailed on a holman & pye designed bowman 45 of circa 1980 . had the holman rolls really bad & to be honest it was a bit of a slowcoach . certainly was nothing special , although finish etc was first class . got the impression that the owner was not overly impressed either . he sold it after a few years ( from new ) for a one off design . if that was a typical bowman then you can keep them
the bowman 45 was adapted from the slightly earlier morris 44 . she was 2 inches deeper in the water than the morris due to being built to lloyds standards and had 4 inches added to the height of the hull .
all manufacturing will move to falmouth , except for the starlight 46 , which will continue to be constructed at the rival bowman ocean quay yard in southampton . plans include formation of a parent company to run all three separate brands .
with a beam of less than 15 feet , the bowman 57 is svelte by current standards , and the design ' s slenderness makes a difference belowdecks . it ' s possible to traverse her length with handholds all the way .
i had my weather eye open for a new british customer and rival yachts were at the top of my list . their previous designer had passed away and the time would come when they would want a new design . i didn ' t want to be an ambulance chaser so struggled with how i would introduce myself without appearing overly aggressive . i was spared the trouble .

would she suit you and your crew ? the bowman 40 was primarily designed for taking serious sailors offshore in all weather and sea conditions . very few sacrifices in seaworthiness have been made to make her more inviting for a horde of guests , but to me this feels right . and to prove it , take a look at the scandinavian blue water cruising yachts built today – most of them don’t look a lot different to this boat , do they ? she is great for a couple who want to sail anywhere , anytime and still feel safe . there’s room for a guest couple , and even the kids , so long as they don’t expect to stay forever . i love the acres of lockers and the sensible use of any empty cavity for handy stowage , which is exactly what a cruising yacht needs . you really couldn’t go far wrong choosing a bowman 40 for cruising , and being so solidly constructed and well equipped means she’ll hold her value in today’s second - hand market .
with this background and the considerable skills of chuck paine , the bowman 40 has everything going for her . she has to be regarded as the near ideal ocean cruising yacht for between two and four people capable of passage - making to anywhere in the world without modification .
by modern awb -
average white boat
standards , she may seem a tad old fashioned - no sumptuous aft cabin and a relatively small cockpit - but great for passage making . on their launch back in the late 80s , bowman 40 ' s were described in a yachting monthly review as follows :
back from the dead , eh . the boat in the video is not slamming but hobby - horsing . this is a condition of wind and sea where the yacht pecks away in the same hole to windward getting nowhere . slamming is what happens when you do it in a different boat to the bowman shown
the companys turnover in the last financial year , which ended april 20 , 2001 , totaled gbp3 . 7 million , and it recently employed 40 people , officials said . this is the second time pricewaterhousecoopers has dealt with receivership at bowman . on april 20 , 1998 , the company went into voluntary receivership , with the then - director and major shareholder , tony davies , citing
trading difficulties
as the cause of that crash . davies singled out the strong pound as the major problem .
the boat i was on , see earlier post , was a bowman 40 . she was not hobby horsing but definately slamming . we were hard on the wind going around finesterre in bottom end of force 7 , making steady and dry progress to windward , but she came off waves with a bang ! it didn ' t seem to make much difference if we bore off down the face of the wave . if we had reduced sail and speed we would then have hobby horsed and made little forward progress .
as was usual with boats of this size and vintage , bowman 57s were customized for individual owners . aleria , formerly grand dame , had been originally commissioned by the pianist andre watts . the galley has custom - designed tile work , corian countertops , double stainless - steel full - size sinks , a three - burner stove , cabinets galore , and double refrigeration compartments . in this long galley , on the starboard side under the cockpit , bracing yourself is easy : cabinetry and bulkheads bind its entire length .

just in case an opportunity might arise i decided to spend my time stuck at that drafting table sketching my idea of the next rival yacht . the largest yacht in the rival line was a 41 footer and the next smaller a 38 so i figured 40 feet was about right . i had the sketch just about finished on my 3rd day standing at peter ' s drafting table when 2 impeccably dressed
city types
walked over and peered down curiously at what i was doing . it turns out they both owned rival 36s and were at earls court looking at larger boats . they loved their rival 36s and would have preferred to stay with the same builder if only he had something larger . they took one look at my sketch and they had the answer . they dragged me and my sketch over to the rival stand and introduced me to charles maunder , the managing director of rival yachts . they said in unison
charles , if you build this design and add it to your line , we ' ll both order one .
what’s she like to sail ? the bowman 40 is a medium - to - heavy displacement yacht designed to sail across open oceans with ease . she is deep - bilged with an overhanging bow and narrowish shoulders , so her motion through the water is that of a powerful , but sea - kindly performer . this easy motion means life at sea on a long passage is not only possible , but positively enjoyable . on many boats , you can get utterly fed up with being thrown about down below for days on end , but that’s certainly not the case with the bowman . there’s always a handhold within reach , both below and above decks , and there are very few sharp edges to hurt yourself on . equally important is the general balance of the hull and sail plan . with her ample ballast , plus the engine weight over the keel and water tanks each side , she’s stiff and easily capable of standing up to her canvas . her steering is light , but positive and she tracks well thanks to her longish keel and skeg . the cutter rig keeps the sails small and offers greater flexibility in a gale , and the quality of the deck gear and fitting gives you confidence that she won’t fall apart when confronted with stormy conditions . she’s no racer , but neither is she a slouch , with her momentum and ability to carve through heavy seas , often she’ll arrive at a far destination at the same time as a much lighter performance yacht might , only her crew will be far more relaxed !

what’s she like in port and at anchor ? those more used to voluminous saloons and huge double berths might think the bowman a little cramped , but to my mind and in the option of many long - distance blue water cruising yachtsmen , too much space can be undesirable under way . her shoal draught is a boon upriver and at anchor , and she’ll dry out easily alongside a wall on her long keel base , but she does lack family living space and her cockpit isn’t exactly designed for easy mediterranean lounging . you need a ladder to climb up her transom and there’s no platform for showering after a swim . on the entertaining stakes she easily matches a more modern design . with her massive and extensively equipped galley and large saloon table you can easily cook dinner for six adults . sleeping is limited to two cabins and the saloon , but in return for the lack of a second aft cabin you get a much larger heads , a useful wet locker and a full - depth cockpit locker – far more important for blue water cruising unless you’re taking a large family with you .
the first bowman 40 was introduced at the london boat show a year later . i had already seen it earlier that fall , when i flew over for sea trials . they had that first boat in the water and the first thing charles said was
it floats 2 inches deeper than you said it would .
i said
it can ' t possibly
but i took the freeboards and he was right . i had done all my laborious calculations using a visicalc estimate in excruciating detail - how could it possibly be that much heavier ? they explained that of course they could not build the boat to the scantlings i had shown on my american style construction plans .
we can ' t build boats as lightly as your drawings showed - to sell boats on britain we have to use lloyds scantlings
and that was the answer . lloyds scantlings assumed the use of more fibreglass mat and less woven roving than we were used to using in america . and since mat is weaker than roving , you have to use more of it to achieve adequate strength . i even considered making some concession to charles on the royalty to compensate for my failure to estimate the weight correctly but fortunately i held my tongue .

a blog about our life and times aboard the yacht
wild bird
. we set off from plymouth in may 2009 , and are now in the med , exploring how to live life in a different way . as nelson mandela says . . . .
there is no passion to be found playing small . . . in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living
.
the headless way try out these exercises . . it may change your life . . .
cooking with kurma kurma ' s blog - inspiring me with interesting vegetarian recipes . combined with some spiritual stuff . his website urltoken also worth a browse .
wonderful artist , book illustrator & inspiration jackie morris web site and blog . . hopefully one day i will aspire to painting something like this
this blog describes the journeys of the yacht
wild bird of fowey
and her partners in crime - me ( the wild bird carol ) , my dog skye and fellow travellers who join me on the way .
june 2010 : susie and i sailed down from england via france , northern spain , portugal , southern spain , and across to the balearics . i ' m about to set off for sardinia , sicily and greece - a summer of cruising with my new crewmate , sylvia .
part of my journey is to develop my artist - self . i aim to spend time recording my journeys in watercolours , paintings , photography and other media , as well as offer my artistic services to others we meet on our journeys .
i ' ve recently been described as an
educated woman from north of watford gap
and that probably is a good one sentence summary .
i originate from lancashire in the uk and that ' s where i ' ll go back to when this journey is over ( or that ' s the plan ) . . but that ' s along way off . my past career includes things as diverse as working for the uk space programme ; directing biotechnology research ; being a ceo in venture capital , being a finance director , being a trainee integrated arts psychotherapist and serving burgers on helen browning ' s flying pig !
apart from the sundry science and management degrees i ' ve picked up along the way , i also have a strong interest in the arts and personal development and have trained as an integrated arts psychotherapist ( but not practising ) and done all sorts of other
alternative
things such as drama therapy , mask work , and puppetry ; workshops with marion woodman ; drumming , 5 rythms workshops , voicework ( jill purce , frankie armstrong etc ) and some basic shamanic work as well of course as various alternative holidays in skyros and cortijo romero . i ' m currently exploring both yoga and tantra .
apart from the general image of a wild bird soaring free in the sky , i ' m also inspired by reading clarissa pinkola estes . . .
within every woman there is a wild and natural creature , a powerful force , filled with good instincts , passionate creativity , and ageless knowing . her name is wild woman , but she is an endangered species . though the gifts of the wildish nature come to us at birth , society ' s attempt to
civilize
us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure , and muffled the deep , life - giving messages of our own souls . without wild woman , we become over - domesticated , fearful , uncreative , trapped .

the history of the 40 , 42 , 45 and 48 seem well documented , but the 36 , 44 ' corsair ' , 46 , etc are a bit unknown . . any info would be gratefully received . the 44 , is just a glorious looking boat , but there is little written about it .
i love the 44 corsair - stunning craft . there ' s an amazing one for sale in the netherlands currently . and then there ' s the 57 which is just beautiful beyond words . . . .
that corsair is stunning but you shouldn ' t be looking at other boats after your refit , well not just yet .
i have a new arch on my 485 with a pair of 400 watt panels and a couple of domes - i have to say i havent noticed any difference in the upwind characteristics in up to 45 knots of wind .

my husband , alex , and i intended to be cruising the world for some time , with no particular plan to circumnavigate , and we had a pretty reasonable set of criteria for the vessel that would help us get there . the boat had to be sturdy , capable of handling heavy seas and possible collisions with floating objects , and manageable for each of us alone . it had to be comfortable under way and at anchor , and it had to be pretty . we expected to sail doublehanded for the most part , so we wanted a split rig .
she ' s a
boat - shaped boat
with beautiful lines , a delicate transom , and a wave - splitting bow . drawing more than 8 feet , she ' s not about to go gunkholing , but she ' ll certainly handle a sea well . her skeg - hung rudder is protected behind a substantial fin keel onto which the mast is stepped . the hull is solid fiberglass - no balsa core to rot , no foam core to get soggy or crack . if she hits something solid , she ' s likely to bounce .
the navigation station , to port at the foot of the companionway , has a nicely sized chart table . adjacent to it is an office , with full - size drawers for paper charts , a desk for a computer , an office chair , cabinets , and more . the aft cabin has a single berth to starboard and a double to port with cushions between , both good sea berths . it doesn ' t have enough storage space , but it could be easily modified . an adjoining head has a shower , a full - size toilet , and a porcelain sink .
the well - ventilated saloon seats six around the table using only the u - shaped settee , eight with chairs added at the end , and three more on the port settee . forward are two cabins with two bunk berths each and another head and shower . in the forepeak is a workshop complete with workbench , vise , and cabinets .
ketch rigged and with double headsails , the 57 can take on sail in small enough doses for each of us to be able to handle them . aleria behaves like the big boat she is , responding more slowly to the helm than what we were used to . my first turn at the wheel was intimidating , but i took comfort in the feeling from the center cockpit that following seas were a long way
back there .
once under way , balanced and in the groove , she sails like a freight train .
