About the BAVARIA CRUISER 30
The Bavaria Cruiser 30 is a fractional sloop designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachts between 2005 and 2007. With a displacement of 9240.0 lb and a beam of 10.75 ft, this model offers a comfortable cruising platform, though the exact total hulls built remains unspecified in the source data.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior comfort and ease of handling over extreme performance. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it accessible for couples or small families seeking a manageable day-sailer or short-cruiser.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.05 and a comfort ratio of 21.36, the boat is designed primarily for coastal cruising rather than extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and moderate displacement suggest it is best kept within sight of land or well-established coastal routes.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Beneteau First 30 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 30.9, as they share similar production eras, fractional sloop rigs, and a focus on interior volume over pure racing metrics.
