Introduced in 2002, the Bavaria
38 was designed for Bavaria by J & J Design as an update
to their earlier Bavaria 37. She is a modern high-volume cruising
yacht built with two optional cabin layouts (two-cabin or
three-cabin), two keel options (standard or deep fin) and
either in-mast furling or slab reefing mainsails.
'Yachting Monthly' reviewed the design in a boat test in the
Dec 2002 issue, reporting that she was "light on the
helm and rewarding to sail".
Many of these yachts found their way into charter fleets,
or were used by sailing schools, hence there can be a fairly
wide variation in prices and condition.
