BAVARIA 42  - RELISTED DUE TO TOTAL TIMEWASTER. NO OFFERS. PLEASE READ FULL LISTING - DO NOT PRESS BUY IT NOW UNLESS YOU FULLY INTEND TO BUY THE YACHT ON THE TERMS BELOW.Layla is available now for immediate inspection in Palma de Mallorca, and priced to sell quickly at £34,995. Layla of Southampton is an excellent example of the popular Bavaria 42 Caribic launched in 1989. With her heavy displacement and strong build she is a very capable, roomy, long range cruising yacht. Not to be confused with later Bavarias that experienced some build quality issues in the mid-2000’s, this robust yacht is highly regarded for her excellent all-weather sailing abilities.Part 1 Registered & Category 2 Coded for 10 persons. Layla has been both a leisure yacht and sail training vessel for the last 5 years in Palma de Mallorca. She is in daily use as both a trainer for professional yacht captains and a leisure vessel. She sails beautifully and is a very seaworthy boat.In recent years she has been in use by our small RYA (Royal Yachting Association) training centre in Palma de Mallorca where her main role is as a training platform for professional standard sailors. She always attracts very positive comments for her excellent manners at sea from all who sail in her. She has also done a small amount of family sailing holidays and presents well.
She weighs in at 13.65 tons and has a Volvo-Penta 2003T turbo-charged marine diesel engine that provides very adequate power. She has a fully battened mainsail with 3 reefs and a Furlex furling genoa, both in good condition plus she carries a storm jib. She has a spray hood (not shown in photos), and spinnaker pole, although we don't have a spinnaker for her. Her standing rigging is in excellent order and her running rigging is replaced on condition. She has a strong windlass with remote, 60m of chain and a substantial anchor that provides excellent holding in all conditions.Internally she has 4 cabins - 3 doubles and a twin cabin with full-sized bunks. The spacious saloon features L-shaped seating around a large rise and fall table that also converts to a bed, so she will sleep 10. A well equipped chart table includes Raymarine C120 colour chart plotter with Western med navionics card, AIS, Radar, Raymarine DSC VHF, and EPIRB. There is one head (toilet) and a separate shower. The shower could easily have another head fitted - a straightforward job for a DIY-er, giving a 4-cabin, 2-head boat with a shower. She has a gimballed gas stove in the galley with gas alarm, excellent chest fridge, twin basin sink and good storage for pots/pans, cutlery & crockery. She has a hard-wearing synthetic teak deck that can be sanded and pressure washed (unlike regular teak) which is in good overall condition but could benefit from re-caulking in a few places. The synthetic teak does get very hot underfoot in the summer Med sunshine so you could choose to take it off and simply paint with non-slip - a weekend job. She is currently MCA Category 2 coded for 10 persons. She was surveyed in 2012, 2014 and 2015 for her coding - these are coding surveys (not buyers surveys) and I will make them available to serious buyers on proof of funds. I am more than happy for you to arrange your own survey of her here in Palma, and I can provide assistance with surveyors and places to lift her out of the water to serious buyers who want to pay for a buyers survey. However, it is worth noting that a buyers survey plus lift out of the water here in Palma is around €2500-3000.
Layla is priced to sell quickly at £34,995 as we now have a new yacht arriving. In 2015 we had a valuation survey that values her at up to €50,000 (£45,100 at todays rate) so we are selling her at £10k below valuation. This is simply because we needed a newer boat - as a sea school in Mallorca we are competing in a market (training and charter holidays) where customers expect a brand new boat to have their holiday in. So Layla has been replaced with a shiny new yacht, and we will be very sad to see her go. Her space and all-round sailing abilities have made her a great asset to our school. But we can't afford to keep her, so she is definitely priced to sell.
This is an exceptional yacht for this price, and will provide years of safe and pleasurable sailing for her new owner. She is ready now to sail away and you can easily live aboard her, but she is 27 years old so bear this in mind. She is obviously not a new boat but she is very presentable and could easily function as a live-aboard for long-distance sailing, or a weekender for family and friends sailing. As a coded boat she can also be used for charter and generate income for her owner. She is a great value, roomy, safe and comfortable sailing yacht. Insurance for private use is around £500pa, slightly more of you keep her as a working/charter boat. Moorings are available here in Mallorca but they are very expensive here, possibly the most expensive moorings in the Med at €1000-1200 per month. 
We can help you to find moorings in mainline Spain - expect to pay around €300 per month for mainland Spain, or the boat can be delivered anywhere in Europe at cost as required using professional delivery crew or you can sail her to her new home yourself.  Training can be provided, and a full handover will be given.
RECENTLY LIFTED, ANTIFOULED, ANODES DONE, HULL POLISHED AND SOME OTHER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. SHE IS READY FOR HER NEW OWNER. I HAVE A LOT OF PHOTOS OF HER HULL AND KEEL FROM HER LAST TWO LIFTS THAT SHOW HER IN EXCELLENT ORDER BELOW THE WATER WITH NO BUBBLES OR BLISTERS. BOAT IS ON HER MOORINGS READY TO SAIL AWAY. PLEASE ONLY ENQUIRE YOU'RE A SERIOUS BUYER LOOKING FOR A GREAT VALUE YACHT AND YOU HAVE THE MEANS IN PLACE TO BUY IT. 
RELISTED DUE TO TOTAL TIMEWASTERS. PLEASE DO NOT PRESS 'BUY IT NOW' UNLESS YOU INTEND TO BUY AND PAY FOR THE YACHT AND HAVE CONTACTED ME FIRST VIA EBAY.I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY OFFERS SO PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY AS I WILL NOT REPLY.
