BAVARIA 35 CRUISER – TANDEM KEEL VERSION – 2009
Bavaria 35 Cruiser
The Bavaria 35 Cruiser is a cruising sailboat renowned for its excellent balance between comfort, safety, and ease of handling. Designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yacht, this tandem keel version stands out for its versatility and accessibility, particularly for coastal cruising and shallow waters thanks to its shallow draft of 1.45 m.
Its 10.76 m monohull polyester hull offers good stability and smooth circulation on board. The tandem keel version provides excellent grounding capability and easy access to shallow anchorages while maintaining reassuring and balanced seagoing behavior.
The interior features a highly appreciated cruising layout with 3 double cabins and 6 to 8 berths. The bright saloon, ample storage, and warm woodwork create a convivial and comfortable atmosphere for family or friends' sailing. The interior and exterior upholstery is reported to be in good condition.
For propulsion, the boat is equipped with a Volvo D1-30 28 HP engine with sail-drive transmission, showing approximately 700 running hours. The sail-drive seal will need to be serviced given its age.
The electronic equipment is well-suited for cruising:
• Raymarine EV200 autopilot (2023)
• Raymarine ST60 log, depth sounder, and wind vane-anemometer
• Lorenz GPS/plotter
• Icom IC-M330 VHF
The deck is well-equipped with:
• Swim platform with pivoting mechanism
• Swim ladder
• Electric windlass
• Bimini
• Sprayhood
• Teak cockpit
• Lazy bag and lazy jacks
The boat also includes a 4-person dinghy with a Honda 2.5 HP outboard.
Regarding the sail inventory, the boat is sold without a mainsail or genoa, which will need to be budgeted for future equipment (estimates provided: approximately €5,000 for the mainsail and for the roller furling genoa). However, an asymmetric spinnaker and a gennaker are included, offering good downwind sailing potential.
The Bavaria 35 Cruiser tandem keel represents an excellent opportunity for comfortable and secure coastal cruising, with a rare and sought-after configuration for tidal areas and accessible anchorages. Its interior volume, ease of handling, and onboard comfort make it a particularly attractive sailboat in this category. More details and pictures on xboat.uk
