About the Vessel
Vessel Overview
Teddy is a privately owned 2017 Bavaria Cruiser 34, two-cabin version, with an exceptional specification and a substantial programme of upgrades and preventative maintenance throughout her life.
Originally supplied by Clipper Marine in 2017, Teddy was ordered with an unusually extensive list of Bavaria factory options before receiving a further package of dealer-installed cruising equipment. I am only the second owner — Teddy passed directly to me from the original owner, meaning her history is fully known and unbroken.
The large cockpit locker can also be converted for use as an optional third cabin, with the original cabin cushions retained — adding genuine versatility for family sailing or extended cruising with guests.
Mechanically, Teddy benefits from a three-blade folding propeller — a meaningful upgrade over the standard fixed prop. A folding propeller dramatically reduces drag under sail, improving boat speed and fuel efficiency under engine, and is a sought-after feature on any cruising yacht.
The result is a Bavaria Cruiser 34 that is very different from a standard specification example — ready for her next owner to enjoy. VAT paid, SSR registered, lying Northern Ireland, UK.
Saloon — charcoal grey upholstery, teak sole and table, barometer on the bulkhead. Warm and well-appointed below decks.
Key Features
Why Teddy?
Two Bavaria Cruiser 34s of the same year can have dramatically different equipment levels and ownership histories. Teddy was already a highly specified yacht when first commissioned and has subsequently benefited from substantial further investment.
Electronics
Garmin 12" chartplotter live on Belfast Lough — wind 8.7 kt, depth 5.8 m, GPS heading 034°. Fusion stereo and Side-Power bow thruster controls integrated at the helm.
Comfort & Safety
Webasto diesel heater showing 21°C — a significant comfort upgrade for Irish Sea sailing. Bavaria yacht systems panel, Fusion MS-RA70N stereo, and MMSI 232017783 all visible at the nav station.
Bow Thruster
Side-Power bow thruster tunnel photographed during the July 2026 lift-out — blades clean and undamaged, antifoul freshly applied around the tunnel aperture.
Kemp Carbon Sails
Kemp carbon mainsail (GBR 4488) flying — a premium upgrade over the standard Bavaria sail plan. Lighter, stiffer, and faster than polyester, with excellent shape retention.
Code Zero & Full Sail Wardrobe
Kemp Code Zero deployed on the bowsprit — mainsail and Code 0 flying together. The full wardrobe includes Elvstrøm spinnaker, storm jib, and extra Crusader Code Zero and spinnaker. A serious offshore sail inventory.
