About the BAVARIA 350
Owner and Charter versions.
The Bavaria 350, designed by Axel Mohnhaupt and built by Bavaria Yachts (GER) in 1991, is a masthead sloop with a displacement of 11023.0 lb. While the exact hulls built count is unknown, this model represents a specific era of German production characterized by a Comfort ratio of 20.13 and a Capsize ratio of 2.13.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior comfort and ease of handling over heavy offshore performance, given its moderate D/L ratio of 183.72 and SA/D ratio of 16.53.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a Capsize ratio of 2.13 and a relatively light displacement of 11023.0 lb, the Bavaria 350 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages, where its fin keel and moderate ballast ratio may feel less secure.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the same era include the Beneteau First 36 and O'Day 36, as they share similar beam widths around 11.83 ft and target the same market of comfortable, performance-oriented coastal cruising.
