Bavaria 32AC or 34AC
« on: June 15 2016, 08:14 »
Hi
I am thinking of buiing a new boat (old..) In my price range i belive that Bavaria 32AC (2002-2005) and Bavaria 34AC(1999-2001) is OK. I live on the west coast of Norway, and the boat will be used for coastal sailing most of the time, maybe a trip to Shetland. I am used to older sweedish boats, with heavy keel, so this will be a new boat experience for me.
So what is the best boat of this two boats? I have been told that the Bavaria 32Ac will broach more easily than the 34AC, also that the 32 is more difficult and dinghylike downwind? What do you think about this? Are the boats heavy enough to use in a bit heavy weather? And are there difference in buildquality?

So, what would be your choise and why?

Imagine

I think they are both good boats so it's a matter of which one you like.i think they are both good off shore boats.i was buying a 34 when it changed to the 36 so I ended up with that.i have circumnavigated with it and would have done it in the 34
