bavaria yacht 32 sport

Bavaria 32 Sport

• For the newcomer, it is a package they can get to grips with – without breaking the bank in the process.
• From a driver’s point of view, the helm is pretty good – everything is where you need it.
• Engine access rarely gets any better – regardless of engine options.
•   For the more experienced or the sports boat fanatic, it is a great driver’s boat that can cover some sea miles in the process.

Something Bavaria have always done well is build a solid sea boat, and the 32 Sport proves this point. Greg Copp tells us why …

Over its production span from 2003 to 2007, the Bavaria 32 Sport was available with a wide selection of Volvo engines and proved a very popular boat. Initially the most common diesel engine options were twin 170hp Volvo KAD32s and twin 260hp Volvo KAD44s, though there are a few with twin 285hp Volvo KAD300s. From 2004, common-rail 210hp and 260hp Volvo D4s replaced the earlier mechanically injected engines. Twin V6 230hp and twin V8 320hp Volvo petrol engines were also an option – the few that were built can be bought at very tempting prices. If you find an example with 320hp V8 petrols it is worth considering. Twin 320hp 5.7L petrol engines will make for an exciting drive and the money you save on the purchase price will buy a lot of petrol. You can pick one at around £45,000, though you may have to look abroad to find one. All engines were coupled to duo-prop sterndrives. Performance varied from 33 to 42 knots, and whatever engine option you chose, the 32 Sport was a cheap boat to run in real terms. In 2006, a hardtop version was introduced, and they attract an extra premium over the open boat.

From a driver’s perspective, this boat has a very good reputation. The J&J-designed hull steers as quickly (four turns lock to lock) and with the same sure-footed manner as any of its more costly competitors. Seakeeping is in the same league, as the 32 Sport conducts itself well in all but the roughest and confused seas.

It was great value for money when new as the euro was weak during its production run. Hence now they are a great second-hand bargain. Though solidly built in the hull department and well-constructed overall, fit and finish can be a bit basic compared to the more costly British and Scandinavian yards.

The helm layout on the boat I viewed is a functional single-seat affair that does not overdo it when it comes to instruments. However, all the gauges and the chartplotter are easy to read and the throttles fall to hand. The seat also has a flip-up bolster if you choose to stand – ideal for berthing. Behind the helm seat sits a small wet bar complete with fridge and triple cup holders. There is an alternative layout that has a double helm seat and a navigator’s seat to port with a small chart table. This variation also has a large sun pad aft instead of the large U-shaped seating arrangement that converts to a sun pad, as found on this boat. The U-shaped seating layout has the bonus of having a cockpit table, which, being capable of seating four large adults around it, makes up for the smaller table in the cabin below. The engine bay has enough room for any of the engine options, with a huge amount of space forward of the engines. All filters are accessible, as are the dipsticks, batteries and the calorifier. You could, if need be, secure a small inflatable tender on the forward engine room bulkhead. Impressively, the cockpit floor and rear seat lift up at the press of a switch, so you do not need to squeeze through a deck hatch to get at the engines – as could be the case.

Deck access is via 6″ side decks and not unsubstantial guard rails for a sports cruiser this size. As is often the case, it is a bit of a step up to actually get onto the side decks, which Bavaria have tried to ease with a small step and some handrails on the radar arch. The foredeck on the boat I viewed had a non-slip surface, which I must say has not always been the case with this model.

For its size, the Bavaria offers a lot of space and accommodation below. The main cabin can seat a young family of four (or three adults) and the galley is relatively well specified, with a fridge and just enough storage to keep a couple or small family fed and watered for a few days. The electric hob is a double-ring affair and the oven is a microwave – this is not unrealistic as few people relish the concept of cooking a three-course meal on board a 32ft boat. There is standing headroom for somebody 6ft 3in throughout the main cabin. The heads is compact, but still sensible, and complete with shower, though due to the fact that there is no separate shower compartment you are more likely to use the marina showers. The forward double berth is 6ft at its widest and 6ft 4in long with plenty of natural light. There is no forecabin in the true sense, otherwise there would be little room in the main cabin. If you need it, the mid cabin offers two lengthy single berths, a bench seat and a bit of standing room. To be realistic, this boat is ideal for a couple or a young family if you intend to be on board for more than a weekend.

In summary, the Bavaria 32 Sport is many things to many people. For the newcomer, it is a package they can get to grips with – without breaking the bank in the process. For the more experienced or the sports boat fanatic, it is a great driver’s boat that can cover some sea miles in the process.

Points to consider

The character of this boat is dictated by its many engine options. The smallest 170hp KAD32 option has proved popular due to its low running costs and low purchase price. It is a 33-knot boat, so if you want some more punch, 260hp KAD44s turn this boat into a white-knuckle sports boat. In 2004, the Volvo D4 was offered in both 210hp and 260hp variations. The latter proved very popular – few boats were commissioned with 210hp D4s. There are a few 42-knot 285hp KAD300 boats out there, but not many. Of the few petrol-powered examples, having a boat with twin 320hp petrol V8s would be exciting. Though cheap to buy, they will not be that cheap to run, so it depends on how many hours you intend to do – even at 100 hours a year it is worth considering. The few 230hp V6 petrol boats that may be out there are best avoided.

Cockpit layout

There are two options: sun pad and dinette. The dinette version as featured here has proved very popular, and if you intend to have four people or more on board on a regular basis it is the one to go for. For couples or Med use, the sun pad version may tick all the boxes – it also has a lot of extra storage under the sun pad.

Depreciation

This boat is at the bottom of the curve in terms of depreciation as a result of the recession and being 10 or more years old. Subsequently it is a great-value buy that many of its British counterparts simply can’t compete with in terms of price.

Build quality/fit & finish

Bavaria are renowned for their solid build quality, especially in the hull department. In comparison to the British and Scandinavian yards, the internal fit can appear minimalistic and lacking in finesse. However, none of this takes away from its credentials as a reliable seagoing boat.

Buying in Europe

One of the reasons for such a wide range in values is the cheaper cost of buying in Europe due to the weakening of the euro against sterling (which was one of the reasons for its low price when originally launched). There are plenty of these boats in the Med, so buying one in the sun can make very good sense, especially if you intend to keep it there.

Running costs

Maintenance

The Volvo D4 will cost about £500 to service and the KAD44 and KAD300 likewise. The KAD32 will be a bit cheaper being a smaller 4-cylinder engine. The cost of spares has never been a Volvo strong point either in the UK or overseas, however availability and the abundance of service agents are very good worldwide. Boats with petrol engines will be cheaper to service due to lower costs for spare parts – and they do not require shockingly expensive fuel injectors or turbochargers.

Boats with 170hp KAD32Ss should return a healthy 2.5mpg (or more) at around 25 knots. D4 boats will be similar to the greater efficiency of their common-rail fuel injection systems. The mechanically injected KAD44 and KAD300 will return sub 2.5mpg. Twin 320hp petrol engines should return between 1.5 and 2 mpg in similar conditions – providing you can resist the temptation to nail the throttles.

2003 Price: £59,950

The boat featured in this article, which is located at Swanwick Marina, has the KAD32 engine option. If you intend to use this boat as a cruiser first and a sports boat second, this is no bad thing. You get even more space in the engine bay and servicing will be cheaper, while it will do 33/34 knots. It is in outstanding condition, immediately apparent in the quality of its gelcoat. The cockpit covers and all the cockpit upholstery look to have been replaced fairly recently, and internally the boat is pristine. Engine hours are low for its age and the boat has a full service history.

Jim’s words

The Bavaria 32 Sport is a regular, generally well-built sports cruiser, manufactured in volume production to offer maximum amenity for a comparatively low market price. If you are looking for a handcrafted yacht, this won’t be the boat for you, but her assembly from machine-made components and her furniture provide a generally reliable product that performs well.

Having said that, the Volvo power installation is the same as many other sports cruisers, and its condition will be very much a function of the maintenance it has received during past ownership. However, look for corrosion on the engines and other equipment in the engine room, as I have found that the air intakes can allow saltwater spray in rough sea conditions. Remember also that high hours on the sterndrives may be an indication that they will soon require a costly overhaul.

I have also found structural damage on occasions on the lifting cockpit sole over the engine room, due to wear and tear. The GRP cockpit sole had distorted downwards at the starboard aft corner, requiring comparatively simple local repair and reinforcement.

Bavaria 32 Cruiser: A boat built for family fun afloat

• Rachael Sprot
• January 11, 2022

Can a practical family cruiser also deliver performance? The Bavaria 32 Cruiser straddles both worlds with ease, says Rachael Sprot

The Bavaria 32 Cruiser came with a deep-fin keel which delivers good manoeuvrability. Credit: Nic Compton

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

When you think of the naval architect, Bruce Farr, many good things spring to mind: America’s Cup challengers, Whitbread winners and high-profile superyachts.

Family cruiser isn’t at the top of the list – yet the Bavaria 32 Cruiser is just that.

The Cruiser range, launched in 2011, is the product of a marriage between this renowned designer of performance yachts and one of the most prolific boat yards of modern times.

I jumped on board Solid Aire belonging to Nick and Tracey Hindmarsh, in Plymouth, to find out more. Nick and Tracey have owned the boat for three years.

Most of their cruising has been done locally, with Fowey and the Yealm within easy reach for a quick weekend getaway.

Nick and Tracey Hindmarsh wanted a yacht suitable for sailing with family. Credit: Nic Compton

They have five grown-up children between them and three grandchildren. Their choice of boat was pragmatic from the outset: they wanted to get the family afloat .

Sharing your passion for sailing with your children is never an easy task; it’s even harder when they’re too old to press-gang into the crew.

They knew that they’d have to win over hearts and minds if they were to get them on board.

The day I joined them they had Tracey’s daughter, Abigail, and grandson, Arlo, on board, and it was his first taste of life afloat.

The Bavaria 32 Cruiser, which later became the 33, is the smallest of the range, which went up to 55 foot.

Solid Aire came with the Avantgarde spec which included lots of extras like the Webasto heating system , 30hp engine (instead of the standard 18hp) and electric windlass.

Of course all of these can be added by the owner subsequently but the quality of the installation is usually better when done by the factory.

The construction is solid GRP below the waterline, and foam core above and on deck.

A laminated grid gives strength in the bilges.

She is 10% heavier than some of the other 32 footers on the market, which is reassuring.

The pale grey hull is distinctive in the marina, although there is a white hulled version too.

Her lines are somewhat unforgiving on the eye but the overall look is sharp and there’s a hint of her racing parentage in her angular looks and bold bow.

What strikes me most, though, is how much boat there is squeezed into a mere 10 metres of length: every centimetre is used and the rewards of that are reaped when you step below.

The interior, designed by BMW, is phenomenally light and spacious for a boat of her size.

Even in light airs, the Bavaria 32 Cruiser performs well upwind. Credit: Nic Compton

The angular look is continued below decks, where rectangular door frames and straight lines disguise the fact that we’re inside a boat and not a chic modern apartment.

The boat feels warm, dry and comfortable without a trace of damp or mildew thanks to the ample ventilation and good build quality.

Nick remarks that the only time they find a dribble in the bilges is if they’ve worn wet clothing below decks.

The companionway is particularly attractive with solid teak trim, substantial stainless grab rail, and an elegant set of steps.

Instead of a washboard there’s a handsome pair of saloon doors, which allow light in when closed, and save the faff of having to stow the board somewhere.

In-mast furling came as standard. Credit: Nic Compton

Bavaria certainly know how to make an entrance, they know their market and they know when to splash out on the details.

I suspect the swing doors would lose their charm if you had to stand in the hatch and brace yourself against them to take in a reef in a blow.

Most people probably wouldn’t buy this boat for long-distance offshore cruising itineraries.

Having said that, I did witness a group of Norwegian students setting off to Greenland in one.

They made it home OK, but there are other 32 footers which might be more appropriate if those are your cruising ambitions.

With the helm seat dropped, the swimming steps easily slot into place. Credit: Nic Compton

What she will do very well is get you on the water with minimum fuss and in maximum comfort.

The saloon comfortably seats six and there’s almost 6ft of headroom.

The table is enormous, which creates a great space for socialising, and combines clever stowage in the form of cutlery drawers in the end and a central locker for glasses in the top.

There’s also a small chart table which can be used from the port saloon seating.

The Bavaria Cruiser 32 comes as a two-cabin arrangement with a v-berth forwards and an enormous double aft that extends under the cockpit sole.

Portlights in the hull and cockpit allow plenty of light into the aft cabin where there’s a decent-sized locker and useful shelf running the length of the bunk.

Solid Aire was bought with lots of extras like an electric windlass and a 30hp engine. Credit: Nic Compton

The galley is small but functional, with covers for the sink and hob to extend the work surface, and a useful stainless grabrail.

Engine access is relatively good in the spacious engine bay, but the seacock was behind the engine and awkward to reach if the engine is hot – not ideal if you’ve sucked something into the strainer and want to clear it out.

The heads compartment would be the envy of many 40 footers: it is a decent-sized wet room with an independent shower – no more crouching under the short hose of a combined tap and shower head in order to wash your hair.

The generous wet locker is a welcome sight in our northern European climate.

But the thing that earned my greatest respect was the set-up of the holding tank: as a yachting instructor I could write a book entitled ‘When heads go wrong’ and I usually find the maintenance of plumbing systems to be totally overlooked by designers. Not here though.

The main is sheeted onto the cockpit table. Credit: Nic Compton

The waist-height locker for the holding tank is a very civilised location for a very uncivilised item: there’ll be no grovelling around in the bilge if it gets blocked.

The outlet seacock was easily reached under the sink so that when the time comes you have a fighting chance of a swift resolution.

The clever layout and quality details don’t fully mask the fact that this is a boat built to a budget.

The inside of the hull next to the bunks and in the saloon is finished with a thin, plastic panelling that on first glance looks wooden but is actually quite flimsy.

Lift up a saloon cushion and the plywood edges of the joinery appear to have been sanded off but left unsealed, and there are several edges finished with sealant.

The saloon has almost 6ft of headroom and can comfortably accommodate six. Credit: Nic Compton

Nick and Tracey have maintained Solid Aire meticulously, but I wonder how the interior would look with less fastidious owners.

There’s no compromise on the important stuff though and on deck things work well.

The cockpit coaming is high at the forward end making the space feel secure, and its gentle slope creates a comfortable backrest for relaxing with a book.

The table is a decent size and will comfortably host six adults for sundowners.

As with the saloon table, the integral locker provides useful storage for water bottles and sun cream.

Swept back spreaders mean the lowers cut right across the side deck. Credit: Nic Compton

The bold decision to do away with a traveller entirely and sheet the main onto the cockpit table makes sense for the kind of cruising most owners are likely to do.

I’ve always felt that the traveller is overrated in cruising boats – if you’ve got a decent purchase system on the mainsheet and a powerful rudder you can cope with the odd gust and most cruisers will put a reef in rather than constantly play the traveller.

If you were regularly out there in 30 knots or racing around the cans, you might think differently.

It certainly got the thumbs up from Arlo, who thought it made a great climbing frame.

The cockpit locker was another score point.

Deep and wide, it’s easily big enough for a decent-sized dinghy, stand-up paddle boards or kayaks.

I’d have liked a drop-down front on it because in comparison to the size of the space, the access hatch is quite small.

There’ll be a temptation to throw bulky items in on top of each other and getting them out could be a struggle.

I had to get inside myself to stow the swimming steps for exactly that reason, and I was finding the space so big that it’s actually hard to work with from on top.

But ultimately it’s a luxury to have the space to carry a decent selection of toys and handy for a family that want to mess around in small boats as well as big boats.

The swimming platform is the pièce de résistance of the Bavaria Cruiser line.

The helm seat drops down like a drawbridge and swimming steps slot into place, followed shortly by a graceful dive into an azure sea…

The weather may not always be ideal for making the most of this clever design on our shores but it’s a lovely touch of superyacht on a small family cruiser.

Salcombe and St Tropez aren’t so very different, are they?

So far we hadn’t yet seen much of the ‘Farr’ effect.

We set off into Plymouth Sound with very little wind to see if we could eke some speed out of her.

She slipped easily out of her berth and followed her rudder nicely under power with the sail drive giving little prop kick and her deep fin keel giving the manoeuvrability you’d expect on a modern cruising boat.

The heads are impressively large for a small, cruising yacht, with excellent storage. Credit: Nic Compton

The 30hp engine gave a cruising speed of 5 knots at 2,000rpm, and we squeezed her up to 5.8 knots at 2,500rpm.

The Bavaria 32 Cruiser was supremely easy to get sailing thanks to the in-mast furling which comes as standard.

Her cast iron, fin and bulb keel is deep at 1.95m (although there is a shoal draft version drawing 1.5m) so I expected her to have good upwind performance.

She did: in 5-6 knots of breeze she skimmed along at 4 knots on 35° apparent.

There wasn’t enough wind to put her through her paces but she gave an impressive upwind demonstration in light airs , and I expect she’s quick off the mark when the breeze fills in.

Solid Aire didn’t have the additional sprit for rigging a cruising chute, and I suspect that due to the small jib and swept back spreaders you’d have to sail very broad angles downwind to keep her moving, making the most of her shallow hull profile by taking a fast, reaching route.

The most boat for your money? Bavaria C38 yacht test

Competition is hot for high-volume cruisers, but have Bavaria built a boat that is fun to sail as well as…

The well balanced and responsive Dufour 30 Classic

Duncan Kent finds out you get plenty for your money in the 30ft coastal cruising market when he looks at…

The chainplates are attached to the outside of the hull, just under the solid aluminium toe-rail.

Although it feels logical to make the most of the yacht’s beam for the rigging, the lowers cut right across the sidedeck and are a little awkward to navigate when going forward.

One safety concern is that the jackstays didn’t reach all the way to the bow, so if there was a problem with the furler at sea you could end up in a compromising position.

Admittedly this isn’t likely to be an issue on coastal cruises in fine weather.

After a couple of decades of phenomenal productivity during the nineties and noughties, the Bavaria brand became ubiquitous in sailing schools and on the charter scene.

They had a reputation for mass-produced boats that were perfectly functional but lacked the charm that might attract someone looking for their dream yacht.

Below the waterline the 32 Bavaria Cruiser is solid GRP with a foam core above and on deck. Credit: Nic Compton

The quality touches of the Cruiser range indicate a determination to buck this trend.

I asked Tracey if she thought the Bavaria 32 Cruiser would do the job of tempting the rest of the family on board. She replied: ‘I hope so… I mean, what could they possibly object to?’

And it’s true, the Bavaria 32 Cruiser is really nice in the best possible way. You don’t need a thoroughbred yacht to have a thoroughly good time on the water.

The sea provides the magic if you’ve got a good way of accessing it.

Bavaria has made all the right compromises with this boat. It’s affordable but still has some very stylish features.

There has been plenty of thought about ‘real life’ stuff such as ablutions.

But above all Bavaria has prioritised the things that make sailing fun in the first place – spending time with friends and family, and that little thrill when wind fills the sails.

The real testament doesn’t come from me but from Abigail and Arlo.

There aren’t many new mothers who would take their baby to sea, but seeing how relaxed they were on board I realised Tracey and Nick had made all the right compromises too.

Alternatives to the Bavaria 32 Cruiser

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 33i was launched as a direct competitor to the Bavaria 32 Cruiser.

There are lots of these yachts on the charter market, for good reason, as they tick a lot of boxes on the entry-level, fast-cruiser list.

The interior is bright and modern, if a little minimalist, and she lacks some of the soft touches of the other family cruisers.

The standard two-cabin layout is slightly different in that the aft bunk is athwartships rather than fore and aft.

Although this might take some getting used to, it means that you can actually sit up and read a book or drink a cup of tea in bed.

This is unusual in a boat of any size, let alone a 33 footer.

The cabin door for the forward cabin is on the centreline, which also gives the layout a fresh feel. The saloon is spacious with a small, forward-facing chart table.

There isn’t as much storage as there could be, with a large empty space above the saloon lockers crying out for a fiddle to turn it into a more useful shelf.

The pay-off for the dedicated chart table is that the heads is quite compact.

The cockpit is comfortable for four people but might be tight for six as the fixed table takes up much of the available space.

She has a removable helm seat giving easy access to the swimming steps.

She’s over 10% lighter than the Bavaria with a bigger sail area, more weight in the keel and correspondingly higher ballast ratio so she’ll be pretty nifty around the cans too.

If you need to satisfy a competitive streak there is also a performance spec available.

This has an even bigger rig, and originally came with a whole host of extras like laminate sails, bigger winches and a folding prop.

At the other end of the spectrum there was a lifting keel version which reduced the draft to just 0.85m.

This has been popular in the UK and now commands a higher price tag on the second-hand market. Most, but not all examples, come with in-mast furling.

There’s a high turnover of them due to their popularity on the charter market, so you can pick one up relatively cheaply in the Mediterranean, or pay a premium for one which has been in private ownership.

Dufour 325 Grand Large

Dufour has traditionally designed yachts with slightly sleeker lines than the other big production builders, and the boat manufacturer has a reputation for delivering better-than-average sailing performance.

The Dufour 325 Grand Large is no exception, very much fitting into the ‘fast cruiser’ bracket without compromising too much on comfort and it has proved a highly popular model.

She’s easier on the eye than many of the other high-volume cruising yachts available from this period and she’s rewarding to sail, though you’ll need the deep draft version to get the best from her.

Originally launched in 2006, the Dufour 325 Grand Large was the smallest of the family, which had three bigger siblings – the 385, 365 and 455.

It was the beginning of the long-standing partnership with Dufour’s now resident architect Umberto Felci.

The 325 was eventually replaced in 2011 with the 335.

There’s a warm, dark wooden finish inside and a nice teak toe rail on the outside, so she’ll appeal to those looking for something a little more classic.

The internal layout is the standard v-berth and double aft configuration for boats of this size, but space has been taken from the saloon to give a generous, forward-facing chart table and larger-than-average galley.

If you’re a couple or small family I think this is a worthwhile trade-off as not everyone wants to accommodate six adults around a saloon table.

The heads is a good size and has an additional access hatch to the bottom of the deep cockpit locker – hallelujah!

Owners were offered tiller or wheel steering. Credit: Graham Snook/Yachting Monthly

First launched in 2003, the Oceanis 323 still competes well with the newer designs in terms of accommodation and sailing performance.

The layout is as you’d expect from a boat of this size, with a surprisingly spacious heads, small aft-facing chart table utilising the end of the saloon seats, and good-sized galley.

There is over 6ft of headroom in the saloon, galley, aft cabin and heads.

The aft cabin benefits from a portlight in the transom, allowing plenty of light and a good view at anchor!

The cockpit is a bit smaller than the Bavaria 32 Cruiser, partly because the sugar scoop is lost space, but the fact that you can stow the table away gives you more flexibility.

She has a 9/10th fractional rig and more sail area than the Bavaria despite being much lighter, so she’ll probably be a bit flighty in a blow but will perform well in light airs.

The traveller is on the coach roof leaving the cockpit clear.

The mainsails were originally designed for two reefs and single-line reefing, which may not suit those wanting to head further offshore.

The hull is single-skin GRP with some areas of reinforcement, and structural inner moulding bonded and laminated to the hull.

At over a tonne lighter than the Bavaria Cruiser 32, I suspect the build quality may not have been as substantial as it could have been, but they’re an affordable way to get afloat in comfort.

There are deep, shallow and lifting keel versions.

Look for the ones that have had light use from private owners and didn’t end up in a charter fleet or sailing school.
