Bavaria 44 - sharp look and good performance

Product Overview

Manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.

This was the first Bavaria by J&J Designs, which in 1993 was tasked with giving the range a sharper look and better performance. J&J introduced bulbed keels and a more efficient rudder design and a sleeker, lower hull profile. The Bavaria 44 is a big yacht in all respects, with six berths in three cabins including a suite forward and a second heads aft. The saloon is not ideally arranged for offshore use but works well in harbour. A charter-orientated Holiday version was also offered, but it tends to fetch lower prices today.

Bavaria 44 is a 45 ′ 8 ″ / 13.9 m monohull sailboat designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachts between 2002 and 2004.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

An update of the BAVARIA 42, and replaced by the BAVARIA 46 which is also similar.

DESCRIPTION

HUGE PRICE DROP! This turn-key boat is ready to set sail!

The Bavaria 44 is an awesome display of German engineering. The interior volume and comfort is unmatched on any comparable sized yacht. There are 4 cabins, all with hanging lockers. A large saloon and galley seat up to 8 guests at a time. The galley includes a stove, oven, fridge, double sink, and grill. A full navigation station complements the interior nicely. There are two heads, both with hot water sinks and showers onboard. The mahogany interior represents some of the finest boat building in the world.

"La Vida" performs exceptionally well at sea, and is easily managed by a small crew. A Selden in-mast furling and Furlex headstay make "raising sail" a thing of the past. There are four 2-speed Harken winches on deck. With dual helm stations and a large cockpit covered by a collapsible bimini and dodger, the Bavaria is made to go places in comfort and style.
