Construction
Bullt before Bevaria entered the mass, high volume boat production market the 38 Exclusive is built in a traditional manner. Heavy hand laid GRP hull and deck mouldings finished in a white gel coat with blue style stripes. The original teak veneer type decking was replaced completely in 2013 with a full synthetic teak deck which is in excellent condition.
Having been continually upgraded by her owners the boat is in excellent cosmetic condition externally for a boat of this age.
The large open foredeck is clear from obstructions with a sizable anchor locker containing the electric windlass and associated controls as well as providing ample storage for the 80m of chain and fenders when not in use. Easy passage aft from the foredeck can be made along the side decks which again are clear of obstruction with plenty of grab handles and full length jackstays providing additional security. Stanchions support sturdy guard wires running the full length of the boat with gates on both port and starboard sides for easy access when alongside.

With all lines lead aft to the cockpit the requirements for crew going forward when on passage should be limited. Sensibly stainless-steel guards are fitted over coachroof dorade vents to provide protection from flailing sheets. Stout cleats are provided forward, midships and aft for securing of mooring warps, the midships cleat being particularly useful it coming alongside short handed,
The cockpit is of sufficient size to safely accommodate a full crew when on passage in comfort with sufficient additional space for alfresco entertaining of guests when at anchor.
The wheel is positioned centrally at the aft end of the cockpit space with a full width bench seat provided for the helmsman. All engine and navigation instrumentation/controls are contained within the binnacle.
A large full depth cockpit locker to starboard provides a huge amount of storage for the boats gear with additional dedicated gas lockers provided within the helmsman’s seat

Accommodation
Below decks the finish on this Bavaria 38 Exclusive is excellent and in first class condition. The internal joinery work is solid and robust, constructed from solid mahogany and mahogany faced plywood; all finished in a satin effect varnish. The new (2017) light patterned saloon upholstery works well in contrast with the relatively dark finish of the wood, opening up the cabin space adding to the warm and cosy feel of the boat below decks.
All standard light bulbs have been upgraded to LED versions throughout the boat which has drastically reduced the power consumption.
Use of a hard wearing laminated sole board material finished in a non-slip plastic removes the requirement for varnishing of the sole and as a result the boards appear to have had little wear since new!
