The Bavaria
30 Cruiser is a modern production cruising boat with considerable
internal volume for her length. She offers much in-harbour
comfort, perhaps slightly at the expense of usability at sea.
As is common with Bavaria models, the 30 is actually 31 feet
in length. |

In the 1980s Bavaria Yachts produced
limited numbers of yachts, aiming at the mid-high quality
end of the market. The company however progressively
increased production through the 1990s, and with mass
production construction methods went for high volume
sales.
Designed for Bavaria by J & J Design, the Bavaria
30 Cruiser is a high-volume modern small cruiser in
what is now fairly typical Bavaria style.
The Bavaria "Cruiser" series from 2005/6 includes
yachts in seven sizes between 30 and 50 feet, the major
difference between these and earlier mass production
Bavarias being a switch to lighter toned mahogany veneers
in the interior joinery.
The 30 Cruiser has a choice of three keels, deep or
shallow bulbed fin keels being the most common, though
a tandem keel version was also produced (exact draught
unknown). The rigs offered a choice of in-mast or standard
mainsail reefing. In around 2007/8 the 30 was superceded
by the 31 Cruiser. |
