The following information and photographs are
displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details
and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could
be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of
the same class being identical. Where common variations exist,
we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.
The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional
boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines. |

Built from 2002 to
2004, the Bavaria 44 is essentially the same boat as the 2004 onwards
Bavaria 46, and in fact is almost 46 ft in length! It is a high-volume
cruiser aimed primarily at the charter market, although an 'owners'
version with single, larger aft cabin was also produced. Secondhand
prices for Bavarias are often distorted due to so many of these
boats being ex-charter exampes, also by Bavaria's continual lowering
of new model prices - the Bavaria 46 was offered new at £123,000
inc VAT in early 2007. Also, boats of this size are not often used
as privately owned family cruisers, due to practical considerations
such as mooring charges, and hence there are fewer private buyers
than for smaller sized models, which continue to be very popular
as private boats. |

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.
The GRP hull has Divinycell closed cell foam sandwich above
the waterline and in the deck moulding, whilst the underwater
parts are solid GRP, kevlar-reinforced around the bow. Various
options are offered, the example illustrated here having the
standard iron bulbed fin keel, but an uprated 7/8 fractional
triple-spreader rig with fully battened main. |
