Is \"Ron Holland\'s Eye\" really the way to go with today\'s designs
..and shouldn't someone of less than 7' 3" in height be able to see more out of a "Deck Saloon" yacht's windows than the sky?
I looked at the Bavaria 44 Vision this morning and I just couldn't believe what they had built.
Quite apart from the above shortcomings, should anyone be unwise enough to order one of these boats for the med. they can look forward to a life of misery and airless, stifling nights.
Nowhere was there any sea level (or anywhere near it) ventilation. Neither did (nor realistically, COULD - due to the R H shape) any of the side windows/ portlights - what do you call such absurd designer fru-fru - have the capability of being opened. One crummy saloon deck hatch and to cap the absurdity in design, for a company that makes a serious proportion of it's money out of mass buyers like the Kiriacoulis family for their charter fleets in VERY hot climates, there were two HUGE slabs of unopenable glass facing skywards with not a curtain or protective shade anywhere to be seen. Have you ever seen wood and cushion fabric after even only a few days exposure to "the brave and mighty Helios" that is the norm for months on end in Greece? it looks like a victim of nuclear attack - take it from me. This thing is a Floating Solar Cauldron
Deck saloon yacht it certainly ain't. Suitable for the Med - well it would be a joke.
I doubt if they could sell even ONE into this role to anyone who had thought seriously about the concept of "fit for purpose" first.
And I'm generally a fan of Bavaria yachts.
