Product Catalogs for Bavaria 44 and 47 Ocean ?

[s51ta]

Dear All,

I would like to get some more informations about the Bavaria ocean line series (end production dates are in 2002), especially on 44 and 47 model. Anyone has some products catalogs, stability curves, is the hull same as from their cruiser series?

Anyone with 1st hand experience with this type of boat?

Thank you very much in advance.

All the best,
Ted

Hulls were the same as for aft cockpit models.
I sailed only one, back in nineties (probably 44 - I don't remember for sure) and shortly (some two weeks). Interior was not very well finished, even for budget production cruiser, but main issue were deck and interior layout. It was obvious the yard wasn't familiar with center cockpit design. A lot of unconvenient corners and misplaced positions for things.
They never gain popularity and production ceased. Nautically were similar to aft cockpit sister boats, but with something more windage, because of higher coamings and coachroof. I - personally - prefered their aft cockpit counterparts.
