Bavaria 46 (2005) for sale in Preveza, Greece

English

Bavaria Yachtbau in Germany (Bavaria Yachts) is one of the most famous boat companies in the world, builders of both motor and sailing yachts. They started in the late 1970s and were well known for large-scale serial production of yachts.  

Bavaria 46, SVEA is of the model designed by the well-known yacht design company J&J Design, which has designed over 350 yacht models for around 60 different boat builders in 28 countries.  J&J Design successfully combines a maximum of volume, where it is most needed on board, with hull lines that provide stability and sailing performance. 

This model was built from 2005 to 2009 and during this time the boat builders at Bavaria were very inspired and impressed by the yachts that were built at the Swedish Orust boatyards. The wooden furnishings were therefore very well built and the design and the skill give a harmonious, marine impression. The lines of the hull together with the characteristic oval and rectangular portholes in the hull sides and coamings give the same harmonious impression as the interior.

Unlike other standard yachts, the Bavaria 46 SVEA has a lead keel (depth 2,05m) which provides increased stability.This also leads to better sailing performance, proven by SVEA’s successful racing in Greece, where she was overall winner three years in a row in the South Union Rally. 

SVEA is easy to handle with furling mainsail and furling genoa and the bow thruster provides safe harbor manoeuvers. 

Bavaria 46, SVEA has in addition to a saloon with galley and navigation area, four double cabins and two toilets with shower.

SVEA was owned for the first six years by a Greek charter company. Her current owner sailed the yacht a few times during this time, liked the yacht a lot and therefore bought the yacht in 2011. The owner upgraded the yacht several times during his ownership and has since sailed in the Greek archipelago during the summers. SVEA is therefore relatively little used and consequently the interior and textiles are in very good condition. 

Grounding damage in 2013 led to an insurance claim and repairs were carried out at the end of that year.

When not sailing, the yacht has been stored ashore at Aktio Marina, Preveza. It is a common way to store yachts on land with the rig up, because many owners come from different countries in Europe and want to sail their boat in the Greek archipelago for a shorter or longer periods.

The contract for the yacht berth on land at Aktio Marina can be taken over by a new owner. The staff at the marina are very professional and 'service-minded'.

Bavaria 46, SVEA is displayed and sold ashore at Aktio Marina, Preveza in Greece.
