Our Bavaria 350 for sale in Greece – SOLD

In February, we bought our beautiful Bavaria 350 sailboat in the South of France. After the lockdown we spent in France, we worked on it a bit, and then we set sail. Puzzle, our Bavaria 350 Lagoon, safely took us from Saint-Raphaël in France to Piraeus in Greece, along the Italian coast. Our trip is now over and we are getting ready to switch from liveaboards to landlubbers once again. Sadly, we can’t afford to take Puzzle back to France and keep her in one of the expensive ports on the French Riviera, which is why we are putting our Bavaria 350 for sale in Greece.

With the limited experience, we had when we got Puzzle, we quickly discovered that a Bavaria sailboat is swift and easy to sail. Furthermore, our wonderful sailboat proved time and time again that it is very strong and safe. We felt protected not only while heeling but also during strong winds and big waves. I mean, we even stayed aboard this Bavaria350 during one of the strongest medicanes in recent history and both us and the boat made it through in one piece!

Surveyor’s opinion when we found this Bavaria 350 for sale

When we bought Puzzle in February 2020, we hired a surveyor. With him, we took the sailboat out at sea, and then also out of the water. He explained to us that as this Bavaria 350 Lagoon was built in 1993, it is way better than production boats from younger generations. It was made before manufacturers cut costs, which also meant cutting corners. He assured us that older generation Bavaria boats are manufactured from high-quality materials, both inside and outside.

According to our surveyor, while recent sailboats are sometimes more accessibly priced, they are less durable and not as strong. Plus, their interiors are made with cheaper materials that look good but they don’t last as much and what they gained in looks, they lost in safety. (This is also confirmed by other sailors discussing this subject on many Facebook sailing groups.)

The interior furnishings of our Bavaria 350 Lagoon create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Its interior is not only elegant but also functional. This Bavaria sailboat comes with a lot of storage space, but also with integrated handles and accommodation rails that help keep you safe at sea, whether you’re following the coastline or crossing oceans.

Sandwich laminate

Sandwich laminate, a material with a comprehensive history of testing in practical application behind it — for example, in the aeronautics industry, and in mine-sweepers and ice-breakers built according to stringent military specifications — has been used in above-water applications and for the deck.

The intermediate sandwich layer is additionally inserted, considerably increasing the buckling resistance of the outer skin. The low heat conductivity of the inserted core material prevents the build-up of condensation water, making the Bavaria 350 Lagoon more comfortable.

Kevlar fabric

The increasing number of reports of sailing yachts colliding with heavy flotsam at night prompted the manufacturers to consider an effective penetration protection of the hull.

The use of Kevlar fabric in the outer laminate of the foreship above and below the waterline has achieved a high level of penetration resistance. Kevlar is well known for its use in the production of bulletproof vests.

The first layer of the laminate of the hull — after the fine isophthalic acid gelcoat — is produced from isophthalic acid resin in conjunction with powder bonded glass matting.

The combination of isophthalic acid resin and powder bonded glass matting creates a waterproofing layer that seals the laminate against the absorption of water and prevents the occurrence of damage by osmosis.

Impact edge

The keel flanges of the Bavaria 350 sailboats are laminated to double the requirement specified by Germanischer Lloyd and is also fitted with an impact edge. This construction triples the crucial impact speed safety factor, cutting out costly repairs.

Unidirectional S-glas

The danger of touching the ground has also been taken into account through the reinforcement of the floor timber, which also exceeds the regulations of Germanischer Lloyd.

By integrating unidirectional lays of extremely strong S-glas into the flanges of the bottom brace, its elastic deformation on running aground is reduced. This way, additional security against damage to the interior is achieved.
