Description
This rare three cabin version of the Bavaria 50 is a thoughtfully engineered cruiser that moves well in light air and carries ocean-rated credentials without sacrificing liveability. Its beam-driven stability and long waterline make it a forgiving passage-maker. Current owners have sailed the vessel on long Ocean passages from from the Indian Ocean to Panama where she waits your inspection. Bavaria Yachtbau built the Bavaria 50 in Germany with a hull of hand-laid solid GRP below the waterline and sandwich construction above it. The Category A rating and the structural choices behind it place the boat in the company of serious blue-water cruisers rather than coastal weekenders. Overall the Bavaria presents as a well finished cruiser with a big water pedigree and enviable interior amenities and volume.
