About the Bavaria 35 Exclusive Sailboat

Built during Bavaria Yachts' late 1990s expansion into the mid-size cruising market, this 35-footer represents German engineering focused on comfortable coastal and near-offshore sailing. The J&J Design team created a balanced cruiser that emphasizes interior volume and ease of handling over pure performance, making it an appealing choice for weekend sailors and charter operations. The fractional sloop rig with 769.62 square feet of sail area delivers respectable performance while remaining manageable for short-handed sailing. Her fin keel and spade rudder configuration provides predictable handling characteristics, though the moderate displacement of 11,243 pounds and beam of 11.32 feet prioritize stability and interior space over racing potential. The SA/Displacement ratio of 24.62 indicates solid performance in moderate conditions, while the hull speed of 7.26 knots reflects her cruising-oriented nature. Bavaria's focus on practical cruising shows in the comfortable cockpit layout and spacious accommodations that maximize the 34.94-foot length overall. The fiberglass construction and 29-horsepower auxiliary engine provide reliability for coastal exploration and marina maneuvering. With a comfort ratio of 22.11, she offers a good balance between motion comfort and sailing performance, making her well-suited for Mediterranean-style cruising and protected waters sailing.
