Cruiser 36 or 37 (2005) or both

[Harveyhall]

I wonder if someone could clarify something for me. Should be simple.
I am trying to find the production dates for the Cruiser 36 and Cruiser 37. Can't seem to locate that on the net and under Bavaria on Wikipedia the 36 doesn't exist.
Thanks

Just surfed my favorite reference databases:

B36 seems to have been in production 2002-2005 http://www.sailguide.com/batfakta/157 (in swedish)
B37 seems to have replaced B36 2005-2007 http://www.sailguide.com/batfakta/bavaria-37-cruiser-2005-2007

And for the earlier models...

B36 seems to have been in production 1998 - 2000 http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=5264 http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=5264
B37 seems to have replaced that model 2000-2002 http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=4841 http://www.sailguide.com/batfakta/161

The "cruiser" model range started with the 37 in 2005/6. The 36 is a different design which came in later (2009). The earlier 36 up to 2005 is a different design again. Bavaria model names are often confusing as they use the same "size" labels for different boats. for example there have been 33s from the earlier J&J designs, but the latest 33 is a very different boat, originally was a 32 and is now a 34 - all with the same hull but different tops and interiors as well as different keels!

Wow your right confusing. I have a 2005 36 cruiser and of course it is just over 37 feet. I saw a 2005 37 and wasn't sure if it was the same boat. Thanks

Your 36 is the older design and is indeed nearly 37' long. I had a 2001 37 which was nearly 38' but was a different boat again from your 36 which followed it. At the same time there was also a 38 which was a much larger boat all round. In the early 2000's Bavaria expanded rapidly  changing models frequently. Now that sales volumes are much lower they have a much more rational range and fewer model changes.

Hi,

Have a look here: http://www.bavariaclub.nl/   under Bavariahaven - alle modellen, this gives a good overview of all Bavarias....
