BAVARIA C38 - a field report after 1200 nautical miles
In mid-March 2022, we transferred a BAVARIA C38 from Slovenia to Turkey. How did the new model from the Giebelstadt shipyard fare in the long-distance test? Bavaria advertises with the slogan "Best sailing characteristics meet maximum comfort". Too much drumming? Or does the boat deliver what the shipyard promises?

Excellent honest review from real sailors == this is the kind of review to consider before buying. Well done!
I have owned yachts for 30 years and have a new Bavaria C42 on order. This is a really good 'real life' review. Thank you for the insight.

Great review. Thanks!
Think we will stick to our Rival 34 1979, built very strong, we feel safe
Very nice review. Interesting that a long time boat builder company did not designed its production line with incremental changes so they can re-use the lessons learned by their mistakes.
Great review, much appreciated. I have my eye on one of these and can live with the things you said. Thanks
A very good review, Jens. Thank you.
Thank you for the honest review, and great video Jens. I ordered one c38 and planing to bring it from Slovenia to Fethiye in November 2023. I would like to hear more of your experience 👏🏻
Really well done review and nice movie) Thank you!)
Refreshingly direct review thanks. I have also have on of the new Yanmars in my Beneteau and I have the same problem with fan noise. Very annoying.
great honest review
Great review. It the video you mention the parasail. I’d be really interested in a review or your views on ease of use, safety etc… 👍🏽

Thanks for the comment. I have a video about the parasailor. Actually I did English subs but I wonder if they are still there. Here is the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoiu0cOBm8jYfbQ.html. Otherwise, if you send me an email address, I can send you an article I wrote for the Moodys Owner Association magazin compass.
Great review. Definitely a charter boat not one you want to buy unless you don’t leave the dock.
Малышка, но умная! Спасибо за звук!
At 7:16 you say you're flying downwind at 11.5 knots. Surely the boat doesn't have a hull speed anywhere near 11.5? I guess it's not hull speed, but planing?
I appreciate you, what is amazing review viode! Have you compared which one is better between C38 and Beneteau 38.1?

@@richardfan7582 Not really. But some friends own Jeanneaus and they are pretty happy. But in the end all the serial yachts are similar. In my opinion it's more a question of taste than of quality.
Looking at the generally poor fit and quality it appears that Bavaria either (A) Wants to have another try at filing for bankruptcy or (B) Is cheaping out on its boats to try and get itself to a better financial position quickly. Either way Bavaria are doing themselves harm in the market.

B- Bavaria is cheaping out on its boats. All they care about is getting as many boats they can out of production year as possible.
What would be a better alternative to this boat, where these problems are tackled (and not replaced by bigger other issues) of the same pricing?

I think a new one easily cost 400k euro with some extras and VAT there are price lists online. What i seen on French boats they seems to have the same "build quality" i personly would buy an old Swan or an few years old X-yachts 4.0 if i had 400k euro.
Schitterend schip. Maar,.................WAAR IS DE VOLVO PENTA????
jajajajajajaja me desorino! va el tío y con todo su papo suelta que 200.000€ es un precio razonable por un barquito que no deja de ser un hobbie de unos fines de semana al año. Ni le tiembla la voz al decirlo. 🤣🤣🤣
