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 4 m and above but excluding abnormal conditions, and vessels largely self-sufficient.
Certification
Actually the EC Directive intends for yachts of this size the certification module B.
IMCI (International Marine Certification Institute) located in Bruxelles 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.
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. =10
: 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 + = 1200 kg
: Maximum additional loading including 10 persons, stores, provisions and
personal equipment (excluding tank capacities).
- CE 0609 : CE marking which indicates the conformity of the yacht with all provisions 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 trouble free 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.
Always consider the maritime duty to exercise diligence!
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, which can
be unsure or lead to personal injuries or to harm of the vessel or from components.
Security advice
Attention!
From wind force 6 the hatch in the cab entrance is to be closed.
Attention!
Starting from wind force 6 the cab windows in the cockpit are to be closed.
Attention!
Make yourself and your crew familiar with the bath platform. It makes the re-entrance
