 Bavaria
44
|
Designed by J & J Designs
in collaboration with Bavaria GmbH, the
Bavaria 44 is a high-volume modern cruiser
with lots of internal space for a large
family or group cruising.
Performances and handling
The 44 offers a moderate-displacement hull (9600kg on a waterline
length of 11.45m) on which a deep lead keel (1.95m) is an option.
Standard is a 1.65m iron keel, which has a reverse profile - maximum
chord is at the bottom - to support the substantial bulb. The
drawings show that the rudder is very deep, almost as deep as the
1.65m keel.
Handling is easy. All halyards, control lines and
sheets are lead aft to either
side of the companionway, where
they are controlled by Lewmar
self-tailing winches placed
behind a bank of stoppers.
Rolling mechanisms on both sails
making navigation of such a size
boat easy, even for one person.
Accommodation
The first things you notice when you
step aboard are the large cockpit
and the clear decks. The Bavaria is
easy to walk around, |

whether you're using the side decks or
the coach roof.
The galley is arranged in linear fashion
down the portside. The work surface extends
full-length, including a cover over the
stove, which hides the cook top when not in
use. The surface itself is a Corian-like
substance in a surprisingly bright blue,
which provides a classy contrast in the
mahogany interior.
The dinette is to starboard. The double seat
unit mounted near the boat's centreline -
which provides a modicum of security for the
cook when the boat heels to starboard (port
tack) also lifts to reveal a sizeable
stowage bin in the base.
Aft of the saloon you will find the second
bathroom on the portside and the
decent-sized navigation area to starboard.
Two layouts are on offer. The three-cabin set-up
has a master stateroom in the bow, and two
double cabins aft. In the charter four-cab layout, the
master stateroom is diminished to the status
of mere double cabin, and shares a bathroom
with a small bunk-bed cab immediately aft.
The two mirror-image double cabs aft have
deep shelving on the hull sides, and a split
locker, with hanging space behind one door
and shelving behind the other. Opening
hatches mounted in the front faces of the
cockpit seats provide ventilation.
Charter price
The charter price €3.300 per week, is very
good compared
with the same age and size yachts, making
this yacht an excellent choice.
