Surprised you didn't get any replies to this, normally there is a huge debate once
Bavaria Yachts are mentioned; and someone normally mentions keels
I've got a
Bavaria 47, old style built in 2000. I've seen the 49, and I think it is fabulous, but I would say that, wouldn't I (MRDA).
You may get a better response on the
Bavaria Yacht Forum which is free to join, unlike the Bavaria Owners Association.
Hope to see you there.
