Isn't Bavaria bad reputation primarily among non-Bavaria-owners? Do you
know of a Bavaria owner that is not satisfied ?

I know owners of 2 Bavarias quite well - one with a 32 likes it with some
reservations and has also had a few problems with the in-mast reefing with
the fractional rig - hardly surprising. The other guy with a 34 dislikes
it and is seriously considering selling.

What does he wish he'd bought instead?

He wanted a second hand Moody 31 but his wife insisted on a new boat because
"all second hand boats smell" and the Bavaria was all he could afford at the
time.
We first met them in La Rochelle a couple of years ago and virtually the
first thing he said was along the lines of - OK, it's a Bavaria so take the
****, everyone else does!
