Isophthalic acid (IPA) resins in the outer layers used during the laminating process ensure that the hull of a BAVARIA is of the highest quality. These offer effective protection against osmosis and thus promote longevity of the BAVARIA. The hull and deck of a BAVARIA is formed by sandwich construction with foam inserts. In sailing yachts the deck is reinforced with aluminium sheets where fittings are mounted. In the so‐called „marrying“ process shortly before the end of production, the deck and hull are screwed and glued together.

Perhaps it is because of German engineering. Or being 100% Made in Germany. Or our attention to detail – with high-quality materials and first-class design. Or maybe it is all of this that makes the CRUISER 51 one of the most popular privately owned yachts from BAVARIA. She embodies outstanding sailing characteristics as well as the ultimate in comfort.

The jury said: “European Yacht of the Year 2015”. We say: that comes as no surprise! That is because you would be hard pressed to find another sailing yacht in its class that offers more space, more comfort, more luxury if you want it, and is also this easy to handle. here

Our aim was to make the BAVARIA C50 nothing less than a new benchmark in the 50-foot sailing yacht category. It offers an elegant, flat hull line and stunningly dynamic silhouette. Everything is clear and minimalist, reflecting our understanding of good, modern yacht design. No other yacht offers so much space, so much comfort and so many possibilities.

A BAVARIA EASY 9.7 has an agile and athletic sailing performance – the designers of Farr Yacht Design and the development team of BAVARIA spent a great deal of time to ensure this.

A BAVARIA yacht is the perfect interaction of many elements. Everything is built around the extensive expertise of German engineering. It is an art that looks back on a long and successful tradition in boat building. Today it is possible to implement all this knowledge with a high degree of precision and quality. We make use of the best materials, the best equipment and exquisite craftsmanship to create something that is the essence of every BAVARIA: the joy of yachting.

This is a yacht designed to be lived on for extended periods with ample storage, and panoramic portlights to give a near 360° view of whichever extraordinary landscape you are exploring. Safety features include a watertight companionway door to keep extreme weather out and through-hull fittings placed above the waterline. When former Vendée Globe skipper Pete Goss went cruising, this was the boat he chose to do it in. [links]

The Bestevaer range began when renowned naval architect Gerard Dijkstra chose to design his own personal yacht for liveaboard adventure cruising, a 53-footer. The concept drew plenty of interest from bluewater sailors wanting to make longer expeditions and Bestevaers are now available in a range of sizes, with the 56-footer proving a popular mid-range length.

All of the yachts in our ‘expedition’ category are aluminium-hulled designs suitable for high latitude sailing, and all are exceptional yachts. But the Bestevaer 56 is a spectacular amount of boat to take on a true adventure. Each Bestevaer is a near-custom build with plenty of bespoke options for owners to customise the layout and where they fall on the scale of rugged off-grid adventurer to 4×4-style luxury fit out.

Arguably less of a looker than the Bestevaer, the Garcia Exploration 45 features a rounded aluminium hull, centreboard with deep skeg and twin daggerboards. The considerable anchor chain weight has again been brought aft, this time via a special conduit to a watertight locker in front of the centreboard. [links]

The well-known Bestevaer 56 Tranquilo (pictured above) has a deep, secure cockpit, voluminous tanks (700lt water and over 1,100lt fuel) and a lifting keel plus water ballast, with classically styled teak clad decks and pilot house. Other owners have opted for functional bare aluminium hull and deck, some choose a doghouse and others a pilothouse.

The boundary pushing Sailing Yacht A is a natural head turner. Delivered in 2017 by German yard Nobiskrug, Sailing Yacht A measures a total of 142.81 metres and is classed as a "sail-assisted motor yacht". BOAT rounds up the best photos of Sailing Yacht A from around the world. [links]

In April 2021, Sailing Yacht A was spotted cruising the cool waters of the Irish Sea as she dropped anchor in Douglas Bay on the Isle of Man. She made her way to the island after departing from the Coast of Spain in late March, gathering a crowd of spectators upon her arrival.

When we saw a boat advertised that looked interesting to us, if we didn't know what it was we'd look into it--owners' groups etc. There, you find a lot of info. Then, of course, one begins to have a "list" of boats of interest to them. Fairly quickly, we moved away from classic fiberglass boats into pre-WWII wood boats as we decided that we wanted to combine our interest in historic preservation with our desire to voyage on a sailboat. Therefore, my research is basically useless to you.

The vast majority of "blisters" on FRG hulls are "gel-coat blisters" and are a cosmetic problem and not a structural problem. With the boat on the hard you will see the hundreds if not thousands of little "bubble" blisters usually from 1/4 inch to one inch in size. "Laminate blisters" are a structural problem and will show up as you sight down the hull with your head close to the surface of the hull. They will be much larger "domes" compared to gelcoat blisters. Tap the hull with the round end of a ball peen hammer and listen to the tone of the sound. Solid laminate will sound sharp and high while blisters will sound "Thud-ish" or dull. Tapping around a suspect spot and you will hear the definite difference in sound between solid and blisters. Also it takes about a week on the hard before some of the laminate blisters will show up.
