Bavaria has real wood inside...
Bobsprit is a little touchy since he found out that was imitation
woodgrain
imprinted shelf liner on his boat. I've tried to tell him not to
worry... he
still has the "honeycombed" bulkheads and swimplatform to ride on.


BTW, I see that the Bavaria 38 is yet another boat with a 3 cabin
charter verson. Guess what? No room for me to sleep yet again. Still
worse, the boat is expensive. What did Ozzy pay? He said less than
100K, which still sounds like a Express 30 more worth!
I do like the Bavaria boats, but we couldn't do anything over 37 feet
due to our slip constraints. I'll say one thing, it's not very fast for
it's size compared to a First 36.7. Then again Ozzy makes money with
his boats so that's not a concern. Anyway...that Bavaria's swim
platform makes her a 35 footer, right?

Man I'd love to see a comparison of the crew condition/moral between a 35s5
and a Bavaria after a Trans Pacific. I bet the crew on the 35s5 wouldn't be
anywhere near as beat due to the ease of cleaning the interior. What was
Ozone thinking??? He'll be elbow deep in wood work for the next 5
years.!!!???
