Description
The HOLD FAST is a 2020 model BAVARIA 37 Cruiser as produced by BAVARIA YACHTBAU of Giebelstadt, Germany. Designed by Bruce Farr and introduced in 2013, the new "37 CR" was immediately successful as a proven yacht with very good performance capabilities that are true to this Naval Architect's track record. A strong and sophisticated yacht, the "37 CR" has not been out-designed over the years which is a good testament to her virtues!
The HOLD FAST has been properly maintained and equipped by her first and only Owner. Nicely set up with a custom "Code 0" with a carbon fiber sprit and a German Mainsheet System that enhances the ease of the mainsail management, she's easy to sail with a light crew (or none!) and offers very good performance. The HOLD FAST does have a 12k BTU air conditioning system and an elegant electrical management setup that's complete with several solar panels as well. The included Dodger and Bimini...along with the nice 37 Cruiser's "Mediterranean style" open cockpit. does all contribute to the overall comfort for days on the water and in all conditions.
The HOLD FAST is now offered for brokerage sale as the Owner's sailing plans have changed for his projected use for next Season. Clean and very well-presented, the HOLD FAST does deserve a good look by prospects who are after what she's selling! The HOLD FAST is now in the water at a secure and well-protected Club mooring location in Stamford, CT. Appointments for a viewing are encouraged for this unique and well-appointed sailing yacht.
