A higher 9/10 mast provides four square metres more sail horsepower. Shrouds that attach directly to the hull emphasise the mainsail, as the front cloth can no longer overlap. This is modern today because it is effective.
In the past, the slender North Holland women have made many a competitor look old, especially on the cross. According to the shipyard, however, they do not build explicit racing goats, it is simply about sailing fun, even for the discerning. If that's not enough, you can opt for the performance package. For 5,700 euros, you get FLEX-P cruising sails, a laminate from sailmaker Hagoort, ball-bearing mast slides and genoa tracks, the latter with line adjustment. Plus larger winches, a rod kicker and LED lights in the masthead. However, the sporty genes are already in the design. A length-to-width ratio of 3.12 (Bavaria 36: 2.88) and a keel that can reach up to 1.95 metres deep on request with a ballast ratio of 37 percent are evidence of the performance-oriented focus. Especially when heading to windward.
In the standard version, the shipyard calls the boat a daysailer, so you have to add a few things to the basic price to make it a cruising boat. A cool box, for example, costs 1,400 euros extra. "The boat can grow with your requirements, initially at a favourable entry-level price, and everything can be retrofitted if necessary. All the items in the options list can be retrofitted, so you don't have to order everything at the time of purchase," explains Remco Sol, owner of the boatyard. 125,000 euros is not exactly cheap, but it is in line with the build quality. This can be described as very meticulous. The deck with foam sandwich, polyester strongback and reinforcement plates under the fittings as well as a hull-deck connection that is completely laminated from the inside are solid. Included in the shipyard's package: a good dose of individualism.
