A job worth doing is worth doing properly, so the saying goes. There’s no doubt that Bavaria have committed wholeheartedly to the concept behind their new C38 and the result is a boat fully confident in its identity. That’s a good job, given the level of competition the C38 will be up against in the 37-38ft production cruiser market.

This boat aims to do three things: create the absolute maximum amount of space on deck and below from the available waterline length; be enjoyable and engaging to sail, if not a race boat; and give a potential buyer the maximum bang for their buck. In practice, the design has added significant volume in both the bow and the stern, introduced a deeper, rounder forefoot to reduce slamming, and has deepened the single rudder, which, coupled with the bow thruster, should give plenty of control in harbour and underway.

A first look at the boat reveals a few significant details. Firstly, her waterline takes up almost her entire length, with virtually no overhangs at the ends. Then there are the chines. This is only the second Bavaria to have hull chines, and they are used to take the significant beam, which is carried all the way aft, down to the water, creating more volume in the aft cabins, as well as providing power to the hull form. Next, there’s the huge bluff bow and vertical stem, again multiplying the volume in the forward cabin. Pretty it might not be, but there’s a certain purposeful muscularity to it.

Bavaria Yachts, the company, gained new owners in 2018, and they’ve been quick to make a fresh start, starting with a plan to update the entire range. Having moved from design house J&J to Cossutti Design, the C38 is the latest, smallest boat in the new lineup. The strongly chined hull shape makes a bold statement about that new direction. I was keen to see how this added up on the water.

TEST VERDICT

If you looked at this yacht and thought the vast volume would make her a poor sailer, you would be mistaken. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had sailing her. The feel on the helm was direct, responsive and engaging; this boat is fun to sail. She wasn’t twitchy even when overpressed and gave plenty of warning before the rudder started to lose grip. This boat reminds you of why a single rudder makes sense, and is deep enough that she has plenty of grip even when heeled, which is the main reason wide-sterned boats have twin rudders. The benefits when handling in harbour are huge, given that manoeuvring and mooring is the most stressful part of any cruise for most owners.

Granted, the mainsheet purchase needs a bit of improvement, but if I were buying this boat, I’d go for the more easily handled furling main and self-tacking jib, with the Code Zero for the extra sail area to keep the boat moving off the wind. This would seem to fit with the ethos of simple and fun sailing that this boat ascribes to.

WOULD SHE SUIT YOU AND YOUR CREW?

I’d imagine this boat will prove popular with sailing schools and charter companies, but if you’re after maximum boat for your buck for family coastal cruising, this is definitely worth a look too.

The idea of having three king-sized beds on what is really a 36-foot hull is staggering. You’d have to weigh up whether you want an ensuite owner’s head enough to sacrifice some of this bed space in the forward cabin, but given the layout options, there seems little reason to go for the two-cabin rather than three-cabin layout. If you’re not using the third you could still use it for the stowage you’d be missing out on.

Given the price point of this boat, the quality of finish was really very good, and the resurrected Bavaria has upped its game several notches. Arguably, the C38 could now be the boat to beat in this size sector and you’ll struggle to get more new boat for your money than this.

AYC Yachtbrokers - BAVARIA 38 OCEAN

  • Descriptive

BAVARIA 38 OCEAN CC Year 1997

Drawned by J&J Designs and built in the great age of the German shipyard, the Bavaria 38 Ocean combines a remarkably well built hull - sandwich above the waterline, Kevlar shield on the bow and up to the first third of the hull, reinforced floors and lead keel - to a warm and spacious interior with beautiful woodwork. The central cockpit allows a safe navigation and the installation of a large and comfortable aft cabin. She is a unit in good condition, never rented. This Bavaria 38 Ocean is well equiped to allow beautiful cruises with reduced crew.

Owner's words

This Bavaria 38 Ocean has been part of our life during almost ten years. She was our first boat. We rented many boats at the time we were still in work. We enjoyed her during the first part of our retreat, and now, we want to buy a bigger sailboat to welcome frinds and family. It is also made for that a boat according to us. We put on sale our Bavaria which suprised us on many points. first of all, her finishes. The shipyard has a downing reputation and the collective imagination has forgotten the incredible quality of boats it built until the end of the 2000s. She is solid, well done, equiped with seriousness, woodworks are remarkables and the arrangements well thought out. She is also a boat that works well under sails and motor.

Bavaria 30 Plus : Used boat test of the pocket-sized family yacht

Alexander Worms

 ·  19.09.2024

Unperturbed even by gusts of seven: the Bavaria during the test in Friesland

Used boat profile

Also good: three alternatives at a glance, model history and market, the measured values for testing the bavaria 30 plus, the bavaria 30 plus in detail, price and shipyard, yacht rating of the bavaria 30 plus, keep your eyes open when buying bavaria, video of the bavaria 30 plus.

Admittedly: Starting the test of a Bavaria with a story about a Dehler may seem strange. In this case, however, it makes perfect sense. After all, in 1992 Dehler was the largest German shipyard and therefore the market leader.

The Duetta 94 was now called the Dehler 31 and had the option of a wheel in the cockpit in addition to the tiller. And two separate cabins below deck with a total of four fixed berths. She also sailed sportily, and the shipyard had acquired a certain pedigree in terms of the sailing characteristics of the yachts through various successes on the regatta circuit. If Bavaria wanted to be a new shipyard in the country, it had to produce something sporty that also had all the characteristics of a typical yacht. At the same time, it had to remain affordable and easy to handle, as they also knew in Giebelstadt.

  • Type: Bavaria 30 Plus
  • Designer: J&J Design
  • Built: 1993-1996
  • Quantity: unknown
  • New price: 63,400 euros
  • Used price current: 30-49,000 euros

As of 01/2024, how the prices shown are defined can be found here !

It was no easy task for Bavaria to assert itself against the top dog Dehler. Until then, the German designer Axel Mohnhaupt had designed the Bavarias. The well-known designs included the 300, 320, 340 and 350. The entry-level model at the time was the 30, which was then supplemented by the 30 Plus in the programme.

At the same time, this was no longer drawn by Mohnhaupt, but by the Slovenians from J&J Design, who milled the so-called plug, i.e. the positive mould, and were able to produce the moulds for the lamination work on top of it. This was both practical and cost-effective. And J&J drew quick designs that were easy to build with comparatively few labour hours. The ship was given a rather sporty 7/8 rig and was somewhat narrower and lighter than the old 300, but also larger and more expensive than the 30 offered at the same time without the "Plus" suffix.

The 30 cost around 90,000 marks, while the 30 Plus was offered from 124,000 marks. It was longer and had two separate compartments. The foredeck of the normal 30 was open to the saloon. In order to compete with the Dehler 31, a version with a steering wheel was offered. Bavaria thought it was well positioned to at least annoy the competition from Sauerland. It is impossible to say today whether this was successful, as Bavaria does not know how many 30 Plus were built; at the time, no value was placed on such numbers. However, the 30 Plus probably doesn't come close to the 500 or so Dehler 31s that were built. A look at the marinas shows this, as it is rarely represented there. A pity, because the package is actually a good one.

Everything there - in small

There was a choice of draught between 1.05 and 1.45 metres. Furthermore, the 9.25 metre hull length was to accommodate everything that belongs on a yacht: two cabins, saloon, galley, navigation table and wet room. To anticipate this: This only worked out reasonably well. Everything is there, yes - but everything is a bit too small. A few examples: The headroom under the companionway is just 1.76 metres, and the height above the inner aft berth is only 25 centimetres. However, this is also only 1.80 metres long, and the three doors are each only 36 centimetres wide.

This quickly makes claustrophobic people feel uneasy. Wearing a lifejacket in the wet room? Impossible. In short: the ship looks like a version of a yacht that has been washed too hot. That may sound harsh, but anyone interested in such a Bavaria must realise that the important comfort dimensions are small. If you are not a tall person, this may well be enough, but if you are over 1.75 metres tall, it will be uncomfortable below deck.

There are several used boats around 30 feet that cost around 35,000 euros. We briefly present three of them:

  • Winner 9.50

Dehler 31: As Duetta 94, Dehler 31 and 32 manufactured around 1000 times and therefore readily available second-hand. Also on the market with a tiller and with an open or separate aft chamber. Good sailor, reliable spare parts supply, solid construction

However, in harbours where the boat is allowed to protrude slightly beyond the box, the Bavaria fits into a convenient nine by three metre berth. What's more, the galley, sat nav and wet room work perfectly, everything is there. And pleasingly well finished. Lots of solid wood and lavish panelling testify to a very high standard of quality. At the time, Dehler was dominated by deep-drawn plastic below deck. The Bavaria 30 Plus, on the other hand, has a very ship-like appearance.

There is storage space wherever possible, and there are several cupboards. Unfortunately, the hatches in the galley open upwards, making it difficult to see inside. However, this is not necessary, as the contents fall out readily when you open them. The owner of the test boat is not bothered by any of this: "We were looking for a safe and handy boat for our family. The four of us enjoy relaxed family holidays on board. And the shallow draught of one metre is ideal, as we prefer to stay indoors in Friesland with the children while they are still small."

Safe despite high winds

The Bavaria, which sailed on the waters around Berlin before coming to the Netherlands, has probably rarely experienced conditions like those on the test day: a full 6 Beaufort, gusting up to 7. The waves are small on inland waters, but the gusts are all the more violent. And that's where the shallower draught really makes itself felt: If a pusher hits the rig, the Bavaria heels away immediately. The rudder pressure increases slightly, but it was never enough for a sun shot. On the contrary: it would have felt like there was more sail area, but in a used boat test it is never clear how old the rigging and the sails really are. In this respect, don't overdo it and ruin the owner's boat.

Better sailing with a tiller

The impression that the Bavaria leaves behind is good despite its short keel: although it lays down quite a bit on the cheek, partly due to the rather blown-out sails, it then sets off nicely. After all, three tonnes of weight is not a lot. She remains easy to control at the helm. Thanks to the 7/8 rig, the backstay can be used to take out a lot of pressure. With one hand on the mainsheet to release it quickly if necessary, everything feels very safe and controlled. While the mainsail can be operated by the helmsman behind the wheel using a curry cleat on the coachroof, the headsheets are out of reach.

It is therefore only really suitable for single-handed sailing with a tiller, because then the helmsman can also drive the foresail. The tiller is the better choice anyway, as the space behind the wheel is very tight. It is impossible to find a comfortable steering position. In addition, a tiller would simply be folded up in the harbour and would therefore be out of the way. But the steering column remains. And somehow gets in the way. The raised seating position aft in the centre is of little help when steering - from there, only sitting giants can see over the sprayhood. The wide coaming, on the other hand, would undoubtedly offer sensible sailing positions with the tiller boom in hand.

However, an important safety aspect is that you never have to leave the cockpit, everything is redirected there. This makes it difficult to operate at times, but that is only a question of higher-quality fittings. What is annoying, however, is the sprayhood. It gets in the way of both the winches on the coachroof and those on the coaming, resulting in ratchet-like back and forth movements. The sail areas are manageable, so this is perfectly feasible, but a free turn of the crank for the foresheet speeds up manoeuvres enormously. In view of the special conditions, the Bavaria 30 Plus makes a solid impression under sail. At no time, not even in the strong gusts, does a feeling of insecurity arise. You are and remain in control of the situation. At the same time, the boat starts up immediately and provides a lot of sailing pleasure. That's fine. A model with a deep keel is certainly even more fun. You definitely want to try it out. And here's a tip for the boat: if you can afford it in terms of sailing area, you should choose the version with a deep fin, which will certainly reduce the drift on the wind considerably.

Good substance, few flaws

Bavarias are basically solidly built, and the 30 Plus is no exception. However, there are weaknesses in some areas. For example, hairline cracks were frequently visible in the gelcoat on the deck of the test boat, particularly in the area of the railing feet. The foot railing, which is bolted through the hull and deck, is also prone to leaks. The aft end fittings appear to be particularly sensitive points. The test boat also showed slight water ingress in the aft chamber. The mast base and the feed-through of the inboard jetties also appear to be susceptible to leaks, as can be read in the forums of the owners' clubs. However, the jetties are very solidly connected to the hull further down. So the stability is not in question, it's just about the tightness of the deck.

However, the cracks in the area of the rear keel bolt on the test ship are critical. Here, a flange surface of the strongback to the hull is cracked. However, the damage is by no means typical for this type of boat; it can occur in any boat with a bolted keel.

If you can live with the rather small comfort dimensions, you will find a fully-fledged yacht that sails safely and agilely and is well finished. The stainless steel parts on and below deck, for example, are remarkably generously dimensioned. The woodwork is also solid. This undoubtedly also applies to the deck and hull. Leakages that occur after almost thirty years can all be managed with a little craftsmanship.

The Bavaria 30 Plus was built from January 1993 to December 1996. There were no model versions, only the difference between the deep and the shallow keel and with tiller or wheel. Yanmar or Volvo engines were installed. The Volvo MD 2020 had dual-circuit cooling and three cylinders, while the Yanmar two-cylinder engine was directly cooled. Although dual cooling circuits mean a longer service life, the Yanmar can also function for a long time without any problems and is considered to be extremely robust. Depending on the equipment, berth and age, a Bavaria 30 Plus currently costs between 30,000 and 40,000 euros. Due to the width of less than three metres, transport from the Mediterranean, for example, is not too expensive. Bavarias are in demand second-hand, so don't hesitate.

BAVARIA C38 – THIS YEAR'S NEXT WORLD PREMIERE FROM BAVARIA YACHTS

published on 26 August 2020

BAVARIA YACHTS will present its new BAVARIA C38 in autumn. After the BAVARIA C42, this is the second newly developed sailing yacht this year. Striking design elements, such as the BAVARIA V-shaped bow and chines at the stern, guarantee safe, fast sailing characteristics and an incredible amount of space below decks.

bavaria yacht leasing

Perfect sailing characteristics, simple handling, maximum usage of the interior below decks and the highest level of comfort...

...what might once have been a contradiction in the field of yacht design, the new BAVARIA C38 proves to be possible without compromises. Just as with the larger BAVARIA C42, the BAVARIA V-shaped bow and distinctive chines at the stern are two crucial design elements of the new BAVARIA C38.

“Chines increase stability while sailing at a heeling angle of between 15 and 20 degrees. When designing the bottom of the hull, the dynamic effect of the chines can also be used to provide faster water drainage from the hull. Modern sailboats often have a very wide stern and therefore a lot of volume in the rear of the hull. When the sailboat gets more wind and the heel increases, the hull gets out of balance. The stern comes further out of the water and the bow is pushed further into the water. As a result the pressure on the rudder increases. A V-Bow with more volume compensates this effect and the boat is easier to steer.” explains Maurizio Cossutti, the yacht designer responsible alongside his team for the hull shape.

Almost 80 square metres of sail area across the mainsail (46m 2 ) and the 109% Genoa (35m 2 ) ensure optimal propulsion by the wind. Simple handling while tacking is guaranteed by the standard self-tacking jib (30m 2 ). Code0 (70m 2 ) and gennaker (130m 2 ) sails complete the BAVARIA C38’s sporty sail plan.

Below decks, the BAVARIA V-shaped bow and the chines at the stern opened up completely new opportunities for the BAVARIA YACHTS development team to use the space. “The V-shaped bow provides us with more space in the bow cabin below decks too. The chines mean we can place the large stern cabins a little further aft. Both these aspects benefit the lounge, allowing seven people to comfortably enjoy their dinner at the salon table,” explains Pascal Kuhn, who is responsible for the new development of sailing and motor yachts at BAVARIA YACHTS.

And there really is plenty of space below decks in the cabins. In the owner’s cabin in the bow, the double bed measures a sensational 1.73 x 2 metres. The berths in the stern cabins measure 1.50 x 2 metres, which must also be close to a record for this size of boat.

For individual configurations of the BAVARIA C38, BAVARIA YACHTS offers layouts with 2 or 3 cabins. Alongside the generous bathroom with a separate shower midships to starboard, an additional bathroom for the owner in the bow cabin can be requested. The large, bright lounge with L-shaped pantry, U-shaped sofa, lounge bench and card table offers real living space for the whole crew. The BAVARIA C38 is ready to sail for 128.900 € excluding VAT.

The BAVARIA C38 completes BAVARIA YACHTS’ C-line, alongside the larger models BAVARIA C42, C45 and C50 as well as the flagship BAVARIA C57. The public will be able to view the BAVARIA C38 for the first time at the boot 2021 trade fair. The world premiere will already have completed its first tests and production for the BAVARIA C38 will be in full swing at the shipyard in Giebelstadt.
