It was a Match 42 that the keel fell off. I haven't seen any reports of keels falling off the 35 or any other of the Match series.
Or any other Bavaria for that matter. All Match 42 (a cruisers -racer line that was discontinued by Bavaria) were beefed up on the keel structure and I had not heard of any other problem since then but at the time several Match 42 showed problems. For what I could tell more a problem regarding an optimistic design than the building (they built according to specifications)
Regarding the Bavaria 36 I know a guy that had made two circumnavigations on one (same boat) and the boat is ready for a third.
