Introduction
This manual will help you to handle your yacht safely and with pleasure. Apart from information about
the yacht itself and installed or additionally supplied fittings the manual also contains information on
operation and maintenance. Please familiarise yourself with everything before you go on your first
voyage.
If this is your first yacht or if you are not really familiar with the special characteristics of a motor yacht
please make sure you get proper training before you put it into operation. Do not hesitate to contact the
dealer or our shipyard for information about further training possibilities.
As the scope of supply depends on the order, the equipment of your yacht can deviate with some
descriptions and illustrations. In order to be able to adapt our yachts to the constantly progressing
technical standard, we must reserve ourselves changes in form, equipment and technology. For these
reasons no requirements can be derived from all data, illustrations and descriptions in this manual.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE
AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU SELL THE YACHT.
BAVARIA would like to welcome you to the circle of BAVARIA owners and would like to thank you
for placing your confidence in our products by acquiring this yacht.
Your contract partner and the management and staff of Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH hope you will enjoy
your new yacht.
Bon voyage, fair winds and fine weather.

Category of design
Following the European Recreational Craft Directive each boat has to be classified according to a
category of design.
All sailing yachts of BAVARIA belong to the category of design A,
designed for extended voyages where conditions may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and
significant wave heights of 4m and above, and vessels largely self-sufficient.
Certification
For yachts with this hull length the EC-Directive intends the certification module B (EC type-
examination) in combination with module C (Check of the stock boat in regard to its conformity with the
specimen).
IMCI (International Marine Certification Institute) was put into charge as a notified body (see:
Declaration of Conformity).
Identification
The hull identification was formed into the transom on starboard side. This is a unique sequence of digits
and letters. It is
DE-BAVV36S2E303

Builder’s plate
The builder’s plate on the front wall of the cockpit is a demand of the
Directive because certain information are required which will be explained in
the following.
Explanations
- Category of design A : Ocean
- Max. =8: Maximum number of persons recommended by the manufacturer if the
yacht is situated in the sea area corresponding to the category of design.
The number of crew can be increased under consideration of the
maximum additional loading capacity if the yacht is on a voyage in non-
ocean areas.
-Max + = 1000 kg: Maximum additional loading including 8 persons, stores, provisions and
personal equipment (excluding tank capacities).
- CE 0609: CE marking which indicates the conformity of the yacht with all provi
sions of the Directive. The sequence of digits is the code number of the
certifying body ,in this case the IMCI (International Marine
Certification Institute) - (see: Declaration of Conformity).
Warnings
Many chapters of this manual will support a troublefree operation, maintenance or draw your attention to
signs of dangers. To find them more easily they are especially marked (in boxes or in bold). We advise
you to study them carefully although the experienced skipper might be quite familiar with many of them.
The following chapters contain such warnings/notes or other important information for operating the
yacht.
Danger
means that an extreme real hazard which will lead to the death or too irreparable injuries
with great probability exists if no adequate precautions are found.
Warning
means that a hazard which can lead to injuries or death exists if no adequate precautions
are found.
Caution
means, that a memory of safety measures or the attention judges on handling, that can be
unsure or lead to personal injuries or to harm of the vessel or from components.
