Lots of good deals out there now, this sounds like a great
one. And an opportunity for the folks who are sailing her
back for you.

Rigger, sailmaker,diesel guy and diver checked her out.
Didn't do a haulout but I did get access to a report by the banks
surveyor when they were costing her out.
She'll get a full detail when she gets back here in 4 or 5 months.


I imagine the guys sailing her over for you will know
*everything* about every inch of her by the time they get there.


I've been on a couple of Bavarias and thought they were
pretty good boats, but their reputation has certainly
suffered after the keel-falling-off incident(s).


Haven't heard of keel dramas

I think that was with the 47 foot models intended to be a
bit racier.


... just looking at the quality of the
build, I'd say the incident/s was a glitch.
To be honest, I've never seen quality like it on a production boat,
rarely on a custom, and most often in multi million dollar yachts.
Mahogany fitout is virtually seamless.


I was pretty impressed with the early '90s 34 and 36
footer... first boat I ever sailed with a wing keel,
delivered one from NC to Connecticut thru a couple days of
nor'easter. Got a chance to check the boat out pretty
thoroughly and was impressed. The new owner was impressed
that we brought it to his slip cleaner & in better shape
than when he looked it over in the dealer's lot!
