  • In mid-March 2022, we transferred a BAVARIA C38 from Slovenia to Turkey. How did the new model from the Giebelstadt shipyard fare in the long-distance test? Bavaria advertises with the slogan "Best sailing characteristics meet maximum comfort". Too much drumming? Or does the boat deliver what the shipyard promises?

    I have owned yachts for 30 years and have a new Bavaria C42 on order. This is a really good 'real life' review. Thank you for the insight.

    Very nice review. Interesting that a long time boat builder company did not designed its production line with incremental changes so they can re-use the lessons learned by their mistakes.

    Refreshingly direct review thanks. I have also have on of the new Yanmars in my Beneteau and I have the same problem with fan noise. Very annoying.

      Thanks for the comment. I have a video about the parasailor. Actually I did English subs but I wonder if they are still there. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/xTzoaHkerMQ/v-deo.html. Otherwise, if you send me an email address, I can send you an article I wrote for the Moodys Owner Association magazin compass.

    Looking at the generally poor fit and quality it appears that Bavaria either (A) Wants to have another try at filing for bankruptcy or (B) Is cheaping out on its boats to try and get itself to a better financial position quickly. Either way Bavaria are doing themselves harm in the market.

    • @todummusic

      B- Bavaria is cheaping out on its boats. All they care about is getting as many boats they can out of production year as possible.

    At 7:16 you say you're flying downwind at 11.5 knots. Surely the boat doesn't have a hull speed anywhere near 11.5? I guess it's not hull speed, but planing?

      @@richardfan7582 Not really. But some friends own Jeanneaus and they are pretty happy. But in the end all the serial yachts are similar. In my opinion it's more a question of taste than of quality.
