Friends, today we have a good example of a boat that I want to raffle off — this is a Bavaria 30 Cruiser with a Volvo Penta engine for 36 700 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.47 meters
Beam: 3.28 meters
Draft: 1.45 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Beautiful and well-maintained Bavaria 30 Cruiser 2006. The boat is made so that it can be operated alone: all ropes are brought into the cockpit, a lazy bag with lazy jacks were sewn and an autopilot with a remote control was installed.

The interior is in very good condition. There was an air dryer on the boat all the time, and the owner says that there is not even a hint of mold and dampness.

A galley with everything you need for cooking. Separate toilet with shower. There is also a shower on the bathing platform.

New 124 Ah lithium batteries. Sockets for 12V and 230V.

A full set of sails: mainsail with a lazy bag, genoa 140% on the furling and a gennaker. The sails are in good condition.

The 18 hp Volvo Penta MD2020 engine is always serviced on time and runs like clockwork.

The boat has all the necessary Raymarine instrument package, including a new chartplotter with maps of the south and east of Norway, an autopilot with a remote control, an echo sounder and a wind strength and direction meter.

Also, there is a good dinghy (inflatable boat) with a four-stroke Tohatsu engine. The owner wants to give it away for an extra fee, but I would try to bargain.

This boat is a good example of a boat that I will raffle among the buyers of my course soon. She has a lot of modern equipment and is suitable even for a novice skipper.
