Bavaria 30 Sport

[Alistairr]

I've just been viewing the new Bavaria 30 Sport video on MBM.com, Here!
Looks a nice boat, but is it jet powered, as it sounds like its got an aircrafts jet engine in it!!!

What d'ya think?

Cheers

Despite being a bit of a Bavaria Fan, I was not that impressed with the 30. The cockpit is a complete waste of space, and is very small in terms of seating space with a sunpad/lazerette taking up 60% of the cockpit area.

The 29 Sport was better IMHO

 

[Alistairr]

I haven't seen either, so can't comment, i was just going by the video.

Cheers

whatever engine it has got will require lots of horses to make it work hence lots of fuel to feed it

 

[gjgm]

totally agree-at LBS thought.. oh dear...

 

[Alistairr]

Interesting.
So why do boat manufacturers make 'improvements' to old models or even design brand new model, that simply aren't as good as older models?

Cheers

because med buyers want sunpads and tender garages. Maybe the Northern European market for Bavaria is not big enough to justify two different cckpit layouts?

 

[Whitelighter]

yes, but the 30 doesnt have a garage and the sunpad is short (5ft). Also the lazerette underneath is next to useless as it has a curved bottom.

 

[diddy]

have to agree with jez IMHO the 29 was a better boat not sure about the deck seating and that large lazerette which seems to dominate the cockpit

So that 'got to have the latest' muglies have something 'new' to spend their money on and of course to stay ahead of the the person next door /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Oh the perfect thread for me to have a moan.

I've got a 300 Sport, as a few of the Forumites are aware.

Can I get out on it?

No.

Over the Bank Holiday my 'crew' were only available for our Handover day, the Friday.

Then Sproglet will ill until the Monday, recovering in time for a slightly Nautical Day out at the Hovercraft Museum

No bugger wants to go out this weekend - plus my wife's now ill with some virus and I'm left with the baby Sat/Sun which involves feeding the baby/entertaining the baby/bathing the baby, and the horrors, changing the baby's nappy.

The weather's perfect conditions for a newbie like me - probably not to be repeated until red doubles in price.

I suppose at least I have a nice video to watch.

And the Radar Manual to read.

Okay I feel better now.

Anyone want to babysit? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Whitelighter]

Just go out on your own.

Or ask on here for crew - that usually works /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[JREdginton]

Bugger! Hope you get out on it soon.

I have to say for all my knocking of manufacturers I did like the sound of it in the video, it does whistle well.

Enjoy it when you get the chace /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Alistairr]

Oh, sounds similar, we couldn't get out last weekend casue of family commitments, and today i'm working and tomorrow, SWMBO won't let us go out incase baby gets a cold or anything before he goes back to hospital next week.
But you are a newbie, and need to learn , if all you have to do today is feed the baby/entertaining the baby/bathing the baby, and the horrors, changing the baby's nappy, and read a radar manual, then why not go to the boat, and do it all on the boat!!!!

Cheers

Al.

Hi Al - yes, sorry, was meant tongue in cheek. A cupa on the boat's a possibility.

Hope to pop out next weekend - so if Chichester Harbour freezes over, blame me!
