While waiting for the
weather to clear in Lakki Marina Leros (38 Knot winds and stormy!) We have picked up
another Yacht Survey on this popular Bavaria 44. This was the first Bavaria by
J&J Designs, which in 1993 was tasked with giving the range a sharper look
and better performance.
J&J introduced
bulbed keels and a more efficient rudder design and a sleeker, lower hull
profile. The Bavaria 44 is a big yacht in all respects, with six berths in
three cabins including a suite forward and a second heads aft. The saloon is
not ideally arranged for offshore use but works well in harbour. A
charter-orientated Holiday version was also offered, but it tends to fetch
lower prices today.

| Sleek lines and spacious accommodation which rivals many much larger boats. |
