Bavaria 31 - cruising boat with modest performance

Product Overview

Manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.

This J&J design from 1999 was a standard cruising boat with modest performance and generally successful interior design let down by a poor galley and small chart table. The fit-out was heavy, in deep red mahogany, which made the interior a bit dark but the finish was good. Stowage was less plentiful than in later small Bavarias. The rig was generous and easily handled but she needed a bit of wind to get her going. A very similar 32ft model was also available.

The Bavaria 31 is a 32.75ft fractional sloop designed by J & J Design and built in fiberglass by Bavaria Yachts (GER) between 1999 and 2001.

It accomodates 6 people in 2 cabins plus salon..

The Bavaria 31 is a light sailboat which is a very high performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a fast cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.

Quick Look: Bavaria 31 Cruiser

• By Jeremy McGeary
• Updated: September 11, 2007

Alone among the mega builders, Bavaria this year beefs up its range of smaller boats. The Bavaria 31 Cruiser wraps the company’s new styling around a beamy but straightforward and seaworthy package of essential cruising amenities: head aft, with integral wet locker; large chart desk; compact galley, straight saloon with facing settees; double cabins fore and aft. Three deck hatches on centerline illuminate and ventilate the forward cabin and saloon.

On deck, a wide cockpit opens aft where the upper part of the transom hinges down to create a platform one step below sole level. A molded recess that conceals the folded dodger and a seahood molding that covers the control lines led from the mast add to the tidy look of the coachroof. The mast is well forward and, counter to the trend followed by many current designs, the sail plan compensates with a large ovelapping genoa. www.bavaria-yachtsbau.com

Performance Expectations, based on the Design Ratios The design ratios of the Bavaria 31 indicate that it is a light and fast boat, with a good balance between stability and performance. The hull speed of the boat is calculated as 7.03 knots, which is the theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can achieve.

Production Period and Numbers Produced The Bavaria 31 was produced between 1999 and 2001 as part of the first generation of the Cruiser line. It was replaced by the Bavaria 32 in 2002, which had a slightly longer hull and more interior space. 

Alternative Versions The Bavaria 31 was also available in two alternative versions: the Bavaria Holiday 31 and the Bavaria Match 31. The Holiday version was designed for chartering and had a simpler layout and equipment than the standard Cruiser version. The Match version was designed for racing and had a taller mast, a deeper keel, a larger sail area, and a lighter displacement than the standard Cruiser version.

Number and Location of Sleeping Berths

The Bavaria 31 has four sleeping berths in two cabins: one forward and one aft. The forward cabin has a V-shaped double berth with storage lockers and shelves on both sides. The aft cabin has a large double berth that extends under the cockpit, with a hanging locker and a shelf on one side. The saloon can also be converted into two additional berths by lowering the table and using the settees as beds.

Bavaria Cruiser 31

Bavaria Cruiser 31 is a 32 ′ 1 ″ / 9.8 m monohull sailboat designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachts starting in 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)

Deep draft: 6.17’ Popular with the charter trade.

BAVARIA SR33

Space for infinite adventures, the latest premiere of the successful sr-line.

With the BAVARIA SR33, BAVARIA YACHTS introduce another model of their successful SR-LINE for the 2023 season, following the SR41 and the SR36. As with all motor yachts of the BAVARIA SR-LINE, the focus during development was on creating space for life on deck. Below deck, the BAVARIA SR33 impresses with a well-thought-out room layout, providing generous space for four people.

Below deck, the BAVARIA SR33’s concept offers plenty of light, plenty of space, four sleeping berths, a cabin and a large salon.

The bow with its generous sunbed is the perfect place to relax, with the comfortable upholstery stretching across the entire surface of the structure.

The 11.40 m long and 3.46 m wide hull was optimised for rapid, safe handling characteristics by the experts from the naval architecture office Micad.
