BAVARIA YACHT SPEZIAL - 40 JAHRE
THE FUTURE IS NOW
Yacht design does not only embody the
spirit of the times, but also shows what
is possible with the technical possibilities
of the respective aera. But by no
means everything that looks stunning
on paper arrives well with the customer.
The designers are always on the fine line
between cool and commercial...
«A dream of space - the designers, construction designers and
interior designers of the BAVARIA yachts did not dream.» So - in
1977 - the first advertisement for a new generation of sailing
yachts came along. The Bavaria 808 TCS promised that, with
her, the dream of space became reality with the 7- and 8-meter
yachts. Shipbuilding engineer Kurt W. Schröter from Travemünde
was the first German construction designer to deal with the then
new glass-resin-construction and devised this family cruiser,
with which the success story of Bavaria yachts began. Of course,
today we are smiling about the seventies style in its most beautiful
form. Kids, as time goes by...
In 1992, Bavaria Yachts started the cooperation with the design
office J & J. The abbreviation stands for the brothers Japec and
Jernej Jakopin, who set up their own studio in 1983. Today, 34
years later, the Jakobins look back to an impressive track record:
nearly 300 cracks for 55 boat builders in 22 countries – this is
results in a production volume of more than 60,000 delivered
yachts.
