Carving to windward in a consistent 15 knot trade wind, cutting wind and water, both at 84 degrees, is hard to beat. In a Bavaria it is pure, hedonistic pleasure.
Bavaria yachts sail well, extremely well, not idle boasts, but backed up by regatta awards. Although most people chartering a yacht are happy to adjust to 'island time', who doesn't enjoy a yacht that actually sails close to the wind and kicks her heels when freed off to a reach - while still being simple to handle? Deep lead keels assist easily driven hulls in this pursuit, and also
make Bavarias sea-kindly and stable in the breezy Caribbean winds. Enjoy that extra snorkel, (or cocktail) knowing that you will be able to make up the time under sail.
Bavarias have all their sail controls led back to the cockpit, making for safe, straightforward sail handling, and easy communication between skipper and crew, or husband and wife! Additionally, in the fleet, from 40ft upwards you have an extra pair of hands, in the form of an autopilot that you can simply activate and deactivate by pressing one button. Whether holding the yacht head
to wind, as you hoist the sails, or allowing you to join the rest of the family on the side deck as the autopilot helms a perfect course, it is a luxurious addition to a well-equipped yacht.
To eliminate a frustrating finish to a perfect day ..... roll up the headsail, ease the main halyard and let the main sail flake between the lazy jacks into the stack-pack cradle. Let the electric windlass, standard on all Bavarias in the fleet, drop and retrieve the anchor without you having to touch the chain, putting an end to back-breaking anchor 'work outs'.
Spacious cockpits give easy access to the swimming platform aft and access to below decks amidships . Below, the African Sapilo Mahogany, functional galley with lots of storage space, very ample cabins and berths are what you would expect from a modern performance cruiser to enhance your live-aboard experience. Coupled with upgrades such as CD stereo, cabin fans throughout, upgraded
fridges, and 110volt inverters from 37ft up, this is a sailing trip you will not want to end.
When you step into your fast, rigid, inflatable tender to go ashore for dinner, you can marvel from a distance at how Bavaria, soon to be the largest yacht builder in the world, can build such accomplished yachts at such reasonable rates so you can enjoy doing what you love most.
