Bavaria 300
Description
The Bavaria 300 is a compact, entry-level cruising sailboat produced by the German shipyard Bavaria Yachts from around 1989 to the early 1990s (production was relatively short-lived for this model). Designed by Axel Mohnhaupt, it's a practical family cruiser-racer aimed at coastal and weekend sailing, known for offering good value, decent performance for its era, and surprisingly spacious accommodations in a ~30-foot hull. It's part of Bavaria's early lineup before they shifted to more mass-market models like the 30s series.
