Bavaria 44 Yacht Survey in Lakki Marina Leros Greece

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.

Easily handled by two thanks to her in-mast roller reeling main sail and furling genoa, with all controls tailed back to the cockpit.

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

No ferries back to Samos today!

Pre-Purchase Yacht Survey in Lakki, Leros Marina Beneteau 57

Back on the Greek Island of Leros this week, and a Yacht Survey for Pre-Purchase on this 57 footer. Designed to eat up the miles shorthanded, and built by Bénéteau and Farr Yacht Design. A great Yacht for demanding sailors with blue water cruising in mind.

Leros Marina, located  at the safest part of Lakki bay, which is completely protected from all the winds, including the ferocious S.E. Sirocco (or "Evros" in Greek), offers the opportunity for memorable moments, in a well-known cruising & sailing area, the South Aegean Sea. The private fenced area of 50.000 m2, is divided in a modern accommodated marina with up to 220 berths, 9 floating pontoons equipped with mooring lines, electricity and water and a fully equipped boatyard with spaces up to 600 boats on the dry-dock.

Pre-purchase Yacht Surveyor working in Greece - Searanger 448 Motor Cruiser

I was working in the local Marina of Samos today in Greece. This was an Insurance Survey on this fast and extremely able semi-displacement cruiser with a fabulous Bill Dixon designed hull. 

Surveyors comments: A serious long distance performance cruiser, with a unique hull form giving excellent performance at all speeds and a smooth ride in adverse weather conditions.
