This Bavaria 320 is a very desirable boat that offers so much and has been regularly upgraded with recent Standing Rigging & Sail Drive Diaphragm replacements. Below Decks, in her amazingly spacious cabin, she comes with 6 comfortable berths, functional galley, forward facing nav station & generous size heads. On deck, she has a spacious cockpit with Tiller steering and a Nav package including Plotter, VHF, Tiller Pilot, AIS Receiver, Wind, Speed & Depth Gauges. She comes with battened main, furling genoa, Spinnaker & Cruising Chute all complimented by a stack pack with lazyjacks & all lines led back aft to the cockpit. This is a Classic Bavaria whose design was way ahead of its competitors at the time, by offering excellent sailing ability coupled with fantastic accommodation and living space.

Her generous displacement and high ballast ratio results in a stiff hull and the ability to drive on through a choppy sea carrying plenty of sail. She has a reasonably deep forefoot, too, making her less prone to slamming in short seas than the later models and her well-balanced rudder and keel ensure that weather helm is slight, provided she is not over-canvassed, and her motion off the wind is comfortable. The combination of all these factors, plus the simple but effective deck layout, means she is easily handled by just one or two crew.
