Design and Capability
‘Wave Warrior’ is an excellent example of the Bavaria 47 Cruiser, a model that is rarely available in the UK. She was designed to combine generous accommodation with genuine passage-making ability. As a result, she suits owners who want comfort without giving up offshore capability.
Accommodation and Layout
One of the key strengths of this design is the amount of interior space. ‘Wave Warrior’ offers a large master cabin forward and two comfortable double cabins aft. This layout works well for family sailing. It is also ideal for extended time aboard, because each area feels well separated and practical.
Sailing and Deck Systems
Under sail, the Bavaria 47 Cruiser is built for safe, fast, and relaxed passages. ‘Wave Warrior’ is set up for short-handed sailing, with powered furling for both the mainsail and genoa, as well as powered winches. Because of this, sail handling is straightforward and far less physical, even with a small crew.
Cruising Versatility
This yacht works well for a wide range of cruising plans. Whether you are coastal cruising, heading offshore, or living aboard for longer periods, the design supports it. At the same time, she remains manageable and confidence-inspiring.
Condition and Readiness
Overall, ‘Wave Warrior’ is offered in ready-to-sail condition. Because the layout, systems, and handling are already well thought through, she represents a practical and appealing ownership opportunity.
