Bavaria Yachts 32 Cruiser

The Bavaria 32 Cruiser is a deceptively large 32' cruiser. A development of the successful Bavaria 32 the model had a relatively short production run. With a greater displacement and considerably larger sail area than her predecessor, the design sails well with improved handling in heavier seas.
