Broker's Comments

This Bavaria 32 looks in lovely condition and has a good inventory of equipment and extras. The boat looks to have been very well maintained and has also just been valeted. The owner has sailed her regularly and he did a circumnavigation of Britain in 2022. Previous to this she was little used on Windermere for a number of years.

Below decks there are two good size double cabins forward and aft; the saloon settees doubling as single sea berths. Storage space is excellent with lockers throughout the length of the boat.

On deck the cockpit is well laid-out, with the compass and all cockpit instruments on the helm binnacle. With lines led aft to the cockpit halyard winches makes this yacht easy to handle even if single handed.

She was out and antifouled in 2024 with Micron 350 and Trilux and all the underwater domestic ball valves were replaced with TruDesign plastic. The engine cooling intake valve was replaced with marine bronze.

There is a cockpit tent on board but it has never been used by the present owner. The tie points have been replaced with s/s screws but it could easily be brought back into use if required.

These boat details are subject to contract.
