Bavaria Yachts
I have not had the opportunity to sail a 42-47 Bav but have chartered their 36 and 32 models. The sailing characteristics would not be relevant for you but the construction and layout may be: they are aesthetically pretty boats, they market them as if they are a BMW car, with a certain pride of construction etc. that edges towards unwarranted arrogance. To summarize my experience, they did not appear to me to have an edge over a similar sized Hunter, whatsoever, in fit, finish and sailing behaviour. I ended up with a used Beneteau when the day to purchase came. I still like the Bavaria''s style and the passengers feel special when they are in the salon, it is quite elegant. They are as good as but not better than, is my opinion--
