The hull is made of fibreglass. A hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The boat is equipped with 2 cabins, 4 berths and toilet facility.
The Bavaria 35 Exclusive is built with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a gennaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.
L-shape fin keel
The Bavaria 35 Exclusive is built with a L keel. An L-shape keel is a bulb keel with the shape as an L. This keel is less exposed to seaweed, fishing nets and lines.
The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.53 - 1.63 meter (5.02 - 5.32 ft) dependent on the load.
Bavaria 35 Exclusive may be equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD2030 diesel engine at 27 hp (20 kW). Cruise speed is 8.0 knots.
The transmission is a shaft drive. A shaft drive will in the long run require less maintenance than other types of drive e.g. a sail drive.
