build quality is poor ..
My experience with Bavaria yachts comes from several European charters in newish to brand new Bavarias. When they were good they were OK but on one occasion on a one-year-old Bavaria 42 the 2 ladies sleeping in the V berth had to sleep with a pot between them to catch the water streaming in from the leaking hatch.
We gave the charter operator hell for that but he claimed the boat arrived from the factory in that condition. Bad quality hatches from a subcontractor, he claimed.
I was not impressed.
If you can afford the HR go for it. Previous owners who can afford a new HR probably take care of it. That is not a trivial consideration.
