Bavaria Yachts introduced this mid-sized cruiser in 1991 as part of their expanding lineup targeting the growing European charter and private ownership markets. Designed by Axel Mohnhaupt, the Bavaria 350 represents the German builder's focus on creating spacious, practical sailing yachts that prioritize comfort and ease of handling over pure performance. At just over 35 feet with an 11.83-foot beam, this masthead sloop offers generous interior volume while maintaining reasonable marina costs. The fin keel and spade rudder configuration provides predictable handling characteristics well-suited to coastal cruising and moderate offshore passages. With a displacement of 11,023 pounds and ballast ratio supporting the 510 square feet of sail area, the boat strikes a balance between stability and sailing performance. The comfort ratio of 20.13 indicates a motion that favors relaxed cruising over spirited sailing, while the capsize screening formula of 2.13 suggests reasonable stability for coastal and near-offshore work. Hull speed calculations show potential for 7+ knot passages under favorable conditions. Bavaria's fiberglass construction follows European CE standards, and the model became popular in charter fleets across the Mediterranean, establishing a reputation for reliability and straightforward maintenance. The design appeals particularly to couples and small families seeking their first serious cruising yacht.
