Bavaria Cruiser 34 review

• Chris Beeson
• September 8, 2016

If Bavaria’s new Cruiser 34 looks a little familiar, there is a very good reason for that. It's the same hull as the 32 and then the 33. Graham Snook finds out what has changed

What’s she like to sail?

She was responsive and enjoyable on the helm, though I felt there was slightly too much weight on the twin wheels, but the view forward is excellent. The helm positions lack foot braces so, when going upwind, sitting is the only realistic option, but then the position of the backstay gets in your way. You can sit on top of the fold-down transom but it’s not broad and the pushpit rails push into your back so it’s not comfortable.

Off the wind, as she flattens out, it’s more comfortable to stand and steer. In the 10-20 knots of breeze we had, she really picked up the pace while still remaining in control and firm on the helm. I’m not wholly in favour the mainsheet being out of reach of the helm on what is essentially a family boat. But this is the trade-off with keeping the mainsheet out of reach of small or inexperienced hands.

What’s she like in port and at anchor?

Her 2.02m (6ft 8in) draught is quite deep for a 10m (32ft) boat. It adds performance but restricts where you can anchor, when you can get over sills of drying harbours etc. Also, with 34 written on the side, you’ll be constantly explaining to harbourmasters why you should pay for a 32-footer – I’d just disclose the metric length instead. Her 28hp engine had plenty of power to manoeuvre her into and out of situations.

Deck stowage around the cockpit is limited to just two sole-depth lockers in the aft cockpit seating; fine if you are cruising from marina to marina but not if you want to carry a dinghy and cruise for longer.

Below, the lack of a chart table adds space to the large saloon, and there is room enough to seat six or more around its table. Whether you need three double cabins is a choice only you can make, the port cabin does come at the expense of deck stowage and a vast heads compartment. The galley is adequate, although stowage and workspace are limited, and if you are intending to cruise with six people on board you may find the 150-litre water tank capacity a little restricting.

Would she suit you and your crew?

As an entry-level new boat, she’s great. She sails well, she’s easy to handle and offers a great combination of style, quality and value. If you do a lot of solo sailing you may find the main sheet located on the coachroof bit of a chore; it’s far easier to have it to hand when a gust hits. Obviously, choosing three cabins suggests you’ll be sailing with more crew, in which case this isn’t an issue.

In the car world, a model’s longevity is improved by adding a few new bits of restyled bodywork and more interior options. Bluntly, this is what Bavaria has done with the Cruiser 34. And that’s fine, as long as you buy the 34 with the full knowledge that it’s the Cruiser 33 with twin wheels and twin aft cabins. The curious thing is that the Cruiser 34 will soon be available in the two-cabin version, and the single-wheeled Cruiser 33 will have a vacuum-infused hull and continue to be sold. So the choice simply comes down to whether you want a twin- or single-wheeled 32ft yacht – and the mainsheet position required by that – and whether or not you need twin aft cabins.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .

The contents of persistent organic pollutants (POPs)—polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs)—in the natural environments of an industrial city (Bratsk) of Irkutsk oblast have been studied. Features of the spatial and seasonal distribution of the PCBs and OCPs in the soils and the atmospheric air have been revealed. The structure of the homological and congeneric composition of the PCBs in the soils and the atmospheric air has been shown. Parameters of the carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic risks for human health from the impact of the PCBs and OCPs present in the soils and the atmospheric air have been determined.
