Yacht Odysseus is a Bavaria 38 that we sail from the west coast of France having left the Hamble in 2005 for a more friendly environment. Sailing in France is a pleasent experience highlighted with summer sunshine, and fair winds. Over the years we have tried to give a picture of what each of the ports are like and what difficulties we experienced when visiting. Coming from the Solent it is noticable how friendly and helpful the marina staff are who genuinely take an interest in you, your boat, and not just your money. I am retired and lucky to be enjoying the life style with the added pleasure of safe sailing and a warm climate.

Two years ago we sold our Scanmar 33 for a Bavaria 38 and we have not been disappointed, the accommodation is so much better when living on the boat for longer periods. There is a lot of "noise" in the market about Bavaria's so far we have found little that we would say was bad or poor, she has a deep lead keel Kevlar strengthened hull and standard sails, we have videoed her sailing at over 8 knots for periods of time, and enjoy the passage making that shortens the time between destinations. We are in touch with Bavaria’s that are above the Arctic Circle and below in the Antarctic, both are Bavaria 42's.
