This Bavaria 44, Built in 2001, is the perfect example of a wonderful cruiser. Everything has been built around the extensive expertise of German engineering, which was at a high level at that time.
She is not only robust and safe, but is also quick and handles beautifully both under sail and motoring.
With the recent extensive modifications, she is comfortable and extremely well equipped.
The boat has had only one owner and partner from new (they still own her) and has been lovingly maintained.
The almost new Volvo Penta D55 engine, with only 705 hours, provides reliable propulsion and coupled with a FeatherStream feathering prop, allows easy cruising under power of over 7 knots at only 1800 RPM
This vessel is also equipped with a retractable bow thruster for easy manoeuvring
Amongst its many extras and additional features, the boat includes a 100m chain deployed by an electric windlass, which greatly improves the options for deeper water anchoring safety.
A new Spray Hood, Wheel and Instrument covers, ensure that the boat is an ‘eye catching’ good looker.
All the rigging and sails have been recently renewed and she is in a good state of maintenance, annually serviced and antifouled
Below deck, the redesigned Saloon couples practicality with style. The original ambience remains, whilst the improvement of additional features, bring the boat right up to date.
The galley is fully electric and boasts a wonderful large induction hob cooker with a versatile Combi oven beneath. Preparing meals ‘underway’ is simple and safe with no gas required
The layout includes two double cabins aft with a bathroom and shower, a comfortable Master cabin in the Forepeak with a Bathroom and shower and a cabin equipped with two bunks.
Room has been made for a separate spare linen cupboard and lea cloths for the bunks
