Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 23 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 23
CoastalBluewater

2.02 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.02
LightHeavy

208 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 208
EasygoingPowered-up

18.7 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 18.7
TenderStiff

25% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 25%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.

The Bavaria Yachts CRUISER 35 is a fractional sloop designed by J&J Yacht Design, built by Bavaria Yachts from 2009 to 2010. This 10.8-meter sailboat is a three-cabin version of the Bavaria Cruiser 34, featuring a light displacement hull, a fin with bulb and spade rudder, and a standard draft of 1.9 meters. An optional shallow keel reduces draft to 1.57 meters, and an optional Volvo-Penta D1-30 28 hp engine is available.
