Bavaria 37 Cruiser

Bavaria has spent the last year making changes to its range of cruising yachts, and the recently released mid-range 37 Cruiser is sure to become one of the company's best sellers. Geoff Middleton spent a day on Pittwater to find out why

ON DECKINSIDEGETTING GOINGHIGHS

Easy to sail for a couple
Plenty of room for kids or visitors
Light, airy fitout below
Good access forward with big, wide decks
Plenty of adjustment in the rig
Very manoeuvrable under power or sail
Budget cruiser with most of what you need to get on the water in comfort

LOWS

Difficult access from transom to cockpit due to the big wheel
Slightly smaller cockpit due to the large cabin. A tradeoff.
Would like to see a few more little inclusions like halyard bags and springer cleats for the money
Only iron keel available. No lead option.
