About the BAVARIA CRUISER 31
The Bavaria Cruiser 31 is a fractional sloop designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachts, with production records indicating a single build year of 2007. This model offers a comfortable cruising platform with a displacement of 10340.0 lb and a beam of 11.08 ft, reflecting a design focused on interior volume and ease of handling.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and couples seeking a manageable, comfortable day-sailer or short-passages cruiser, particularly those who value a spacious interior and fractional rig performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 10340.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.04, the boat offers moderate stability for coastal passages, though its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is best suited for protected waters rather than extended bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
