About the BAVARIA 760
The Bavaria 760 is a compact masthead sloop designed by Axel Mohnhaupt and built by Bavaria Yachts (GER) in 1985. With a hull count of ?, this lightweight vessel offers a specific niche for small-scale cruising, characterized by its 24.93 ft LOA and 2976.0 lb displacement.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and day sailors seeking a manageable, lightweight package that is easy to trailer or dock in tight spaces. Its low displacement and modest beam of 8.2 ft make it ideal for single-handers or couples prioritizing ease of handling over heavy-weather stability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2976.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.28, the Bavaria 760 is not well-suited for extended bluewater passages, as its light weight and fin keel configuration prioritize coastal agility over offshore seakeeping.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other late-1980s European trailerable sloops like the Beneteau First 7.5 or O'Day 23, which share similar dimensions and a focus on recreational coastal sailing. These vessels are comparable due to their similar masthead sloop rigs and emphasis on light displacement performance.
