Bavaria 30 - staid-looking, mid-range cruiser

Product Overview

Price as reviewed:.

Introducing the brand at the Southampton Show in 1987, this Axel design was a staid-looking, mid-range cruiser.

The build quality and finish of the mahogany joinery were impressive. The accommodation layout was conventional with a comfortable and spacious saloon, a large heads and generous aftercabin. The forecabin was somewhat cramped and the chart table faced aft over the starboard settee. Only a limited number were imported into the UK.

Try as I might, while sailing closehauled in a puffy northeast wind off Marblehead, Massachusetts, I couldn’t get the new 30 Cruiser to splash a drop into the cockpit. We heeled comfortably, and Captain Allan Waldman of Wells Yachts and I remained dry and warm in the little chop we managed to find in the offshore breeze. On this crisp November afternoon, in 10 knots of breeze with frequent higher gusts, we sailed 5.5 to 6 knots with a smooth motion, surging ahead as we fell off onto a reach. The primary winches, Lewmar 30s, are handy to the helm, and we tacked easily through about 105 degrees.

The boat we sailed had a roller-furling genoa and a Seldén in-mast furling main trimmed on a cabin-top winch. A full-batten, in-mast furling main and a standard rig also are available. This 30-foot cruiser was fitted with an optional high-tech keel with twin foils connected by an iron bulb. Under both power (a Volvo 18-horsepower diesel and saildrive) and sail, it turned on a dime; backing, a slight initial starboard prop walk was quickly overcome and forgotten.

Below, sleeping accommodations include double berths in cabins fore and aft. A well-equipped galley is to port with a nav desk opposite; forward of the galley is a foldout table between settees. With a price tag of $102,000, the Bavaria 30 Cruiser provides an on-the-water retreat for a couple or a family at a price that allows the cruising kitty to be fed while the boat’s on the move.

Bavaria Cruiser 30

Bavaria Cruiser 30 is a 31 ′ 0 ″ / 9.5 m monohull sailboat designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachts between 2005 and 2007.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Neuschwanstein castle murder case opens with U.S. man admitting to rape, killing of fellow U.S. tourist

February 19, 2024 / 6:32 AM EST / CBS/AFP

Kempten, Germany  — An American man accused of raping and killing a fellow U.S. tourist near Bavaria's famed Neuschwanstein castle last year made a wide-ranging confession on the first day of his trial Monday.

Troy Philipp B. faces several charges including one count of murder over the death of the 21-year-old woman. He also stands accused of the attempted murder of the victim's friend , also an American citizen. Neither the suspect nor the victims have been identified due to German privacy laws.

CBS News' Anna Noryskiewicz said B.'s lawyer surprised the court right at the outset of the Monday hearing when he admitted that his client had committed the crime.

"The accused committed the incomprehensible act," his lawyer Philip Mueller told the district court in the southern town of Kempten.

The lawyer said B. had been motivated to carry out the acts spontaneously and denied any intent. B. also admitted to possessing child pornography right at the beginning of the trial.

Suspects do not enter formal guilty or not guilty pleas to charges in Germany's criminal justice system.

The two women, then 21 and 22 years old, had been hiking in the Neuschwanstein area in June last year when they met B., who offered to take them to a viewpoint, investigators said.

At a secluded spot, the man, then 30, allegedly pushed the 21-year-old woman to the ground and proceeded to rape and strangle her. Her friend intervened, leading to a scuffle in which the man allegedly pushed the 22-year-old off a steep slope.

The accused then continued his sexual assault of the 21-year-old woman, strangling her with a belt while filming the act.

Interrupted by hikers who stumbled on the crime, he pushed the rape victim down the same slope while she was unconscious.

When mountain rescue workers found the two women, the 22-year-old was injured but able to talk.

The rape victim was seriously injured and taken by helicopter to hospital, where she died later that night from her injuries.   "He was aware that the victim could die without help, yet he still left her behind," Mueller told the court.

His client was "deeply ashamed" about his actions and wished to apologize to the victim's family, the lawyer added.

The suspect, who is from Michigan, spoke only to confirm the accuracy of his lawyer's statement to the court.

He is not expected to make any further comments during the trial, scheduled to run until March 13.

The rescue operation and his subsequent arrest took place in front of hundreds of tourists.

One of them was another American tourist, Eric Abneri, from New York, who captured video of B. being taken into custody. He told CBS News after the incident that the suspect's "face was covered in deep red scratch marks and his neck as well."

"There was clearly a struggle there, and he just had a frown on his face," Abneri said. "He didn't say anything. He had a sort of disturbed look."

Built in the 19th century by King Ludwig II, Neuschwanstein castle is one of the most visited sites in Germany, attracting over a million visitors a year.

B. faces up to life in prison if convicted.

On Monday, he also confessed to possession of child pornography, which investigators uncovered as part of their probe into the attack.

Man dies after boat tips over while fishing

VALDOSTA, Ga. ( WCTV /Gray News) - A man has died after his boat tipped while he was out fishing in Georgia.

Authorities reported they responded to a “possible drowning” Sunday at about 7:30 p.m. According to Valdosta police and fire, two men, who were cousins and both in their 20s, were fishing at Ulmers Pond when their boat tipped over.

During a press conference, authorities said one of the men went missing after the boat tipped. The other was transported to South Georgia Medical Center on Sunday, treated for hypothermia and has since been released, according to Valdosta Fire Chief Brian Boutwell.

A search operation immediately began, Boutwell said, with a helicopter, two drones, divers and three boats. The search operation continued Sunday evening until 1:30 a.m.

The search resumed Monday morning at about 7 a.m., according to Bouwell. His body was found by divers two hours into Monday’s search operation, according to a Valdosta City spokesperson.

Valdosta Fire and Police Departments both extended prayers and condolences to the family and all those involved.
