The Bavaria Yachts 350 is a 10.7-meter masthead sloop designed by Axel Mohnhaupt and built by Bavaria Yachts from 1991 to the present. It has a fin keel with a spade rudder, a beam of 3.6 meters, a draft of 1.6 meters, and a displacement of 4999 kg. Aboard *Sailing Britaly*, a 1992 Bavaria 350 required replacement of corroded brass seacocks and skin fittings due to de-zincification, necessitating the removal of old components with an angle grinder and installation of DZR brass ball valves and stainless steel hose tails.0:06 The Bavaria Cruiser 35 variant features a cockpit designed for single-handed operation, centralizing sail controls, including the mainsheet and Genoa tracks. Its exterior includes wheel steering, a Raymarine E7 multifunction display, and a swim platform.0:47 The rig uses a three-reef system with lines led aft to the cockpit, and ground tackle includes an electric windlass with 60 meters of marked chain.2:33 The interior has three cabins, one head, a galley with secure storage, and a navigation station with 12V and 220V electrical panels.12:23 The vessel is powered by a 20-horsepower engine.7:03
