About the BAVARIA CRUISER 36 (FARR)
Shallow draft: 1.63 m/5.35' There was an earlier BAVARIA CRUISER 36 by J&J Design. (2002?) Updated in 2013.
The Bavaria Cruiser 36 (Farr) is a performance-oriented cruising yacht designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by Bavaria Yachtbau in 2010. While the exact production volume is not specified in the available data, this model represents a specific iteration of the Bavaria line featuring a fractional sloop rig and a displacement of 15432.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who value a responsive, well-balanced hull form with a Comfort ratio of 25.62. It is particularly well-suited for owners seeking a modern, easy-to-handle package with a low Capsize ratio of 1.94, making it accessible for short-handed sailing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a D/L ratio of 201.06 and a Capsize ratio of 1.94, the boat offers reasonable offshore stability, though its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is best suited for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extended heavy-weather bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Farr-designed Bavaria models from the same era, such as the Bavaria Cruiser 34 or 38, which share similar design philosophies and fractional rigging. It also competes with other 36-foot performance cruisers like the Beneteau First 36.7 or Hanse 365, though the Farr design offers a distinct balance of speed and comfort.
