About the BAVARIA 50 VISION
LOD: 14.99m / 49.17 ft. Optional deep keel draft: 2.3m / 7.55ft (cast iron)
The Bavaria 50 Vision is a fractional sloop designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachts in Germany between 2007 and 2011. With a displacement of 29762.0 lb and a beam of 14.73 ft, this vessel offers a spacious layout typical of the builder's cruising-oriented production.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and families seeking a comfortable, well-equipped liveaboard or weekend cruiser, particularly those who value modern amenities like watermakers and bow thrusters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a D/L ratio of 154.6 and a capsize ratio of 1.91, the boat is moderately light for its size, suggesting it is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than heavy offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Beneteau Oceanis 50 and Hanse 508, as they share similar production eras, fractional sloop rigs, and a focus on interior volume and ease of handling for short-handed cruising.
