The Bavaria 35 Exclusive is a fractional sloop designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachts in Germany between 1997 and 1999. With a displacement of 11243.58 lb and a comfort ratio of 22.11, this model offers a balanced blend of performance and liveaboard comfort typical of late-90s European production cruisers.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over extreme offshore ruggedness. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it accessible for short-handed cruising in protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.02 and a displacement of 11243.58 lb, the boat possesses moderate offshore stability, though its fin keel and relatively light displacement suggest it is best suited for coastal passages rather than extended bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Bavaria 35 Cruiser and the Beneteau First 35, as they share similar production eras, fractional sloop rigs, and target markets focused on recreational coastal cruising. The Hunter 35.5 is also a relevant comparison for its similar length overall and cabin layout.
