Builder's Comment

'The new Bavaria 30 Cruiser is the solution for the smaller yacht buyer. At 31 feet overall, the 30 Cruiser has more displacement than the 32 and boasts more sail area with over two feet more mast height, indicating better sailing performance potential. A fuller hull shape allows for a larger relative interior volume while maintaining ample light and ventilation evident in all previous models. The 30 Cruiser retains the “yacht” feel of all other Bavaria Cruiser series models, benefiting from lighter mahogany woodwork that is a signature of the new series. With no compromise construction benefits from a full interior “grid” system, the 30 Cruiser is undoubtedly a yacht whose cruising potential is as limitless as the imagination of the owner.'
