1999 Bavaria 31, GBP 28,000

Remarks :
'Seren wen' is a very nice example of this popular Bavaria 31 that has been kept in good overall condition and well upgraded. The owners are only selling due to now wanting to sail further afield. Sensible offers would seriously be considered.

1999 BAVARIA 31. Fin keel. Sloop rig, with new Mainsail and Headsail. Volvo Penta MD2020 (19hp) with a sail drive. “Seren Wen'’ (Welsh for White Star) is easily handled and rigged for solo sailing.  She has 6 berths in 2 cabins and saloon; head with handbasin and shower; a galley with a good-sized fridge; pressurised water system including hot water from both the engine and shore power; auto-pilot and easy reefing. With only 5 owners from new, she is a good example of this popular yacht, having had several improvements to aid safety and enjoyment aboard; including a folding propeller, and a comprehensive suite of navigation equipment including binnacle mounted GPS plotter with radar overlay and AIS. Manufacturer’s Provided Description

The Bavaria 31 has the winning lines, outstanding quality, and exceptional value that distinguishes all Bavaria Yachts. Designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH in Northern Bavaria, its high residual value is guaranteed. The Bavaria 31 is constructed with a sandwich laminate, a technology used with aircraft and icebreaking boats. This laminate of water repellent and closed-pore foam increases the durability of the shell while decreasing heat conductivity, thus preventing condensation and making the living climate more pleasant. Aswell, Kevlar fabric is worked into the collision endangered forebody, and a coat of isophthalic acid resin combined with powder-bounded glass mat prevents osmosis and keeps the laminate watertight.  Bavaria builds according to the specifications and supervision of Germanischer Lloyd. Viewing is highly recommended by appointment only through our Chichester Office on 01243 550042.
