Bavaria Cruiser 51 Tauranga
Hi all,
We have recently bought a 2014 Bavaria Cruiser 51. It is as delivered from factory, with nothing on board. Basically the owner bought it new and could not sail her due to health reasons. When I'm talking about nothing - there is no linen (beds never slept on!), minimal gear, jib and main only, no life jackets etc etc. Every cupboard and storage space is bare!

So I'm having to kit it out fully from scratch. No problem but I could do with some advice on the sail wardrobe and any obvious modifications I should make to the running rigging etc. What do other C51 owners have as their sail inventory?

Any other recommendations about setup / kit-out or general would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

you may want to check in with the Bavaria owner's site and forum: bavariayacht.org/forum. the immediate response will always be: where will you be sailing? Prevailing condition? Will you be racing at all? How are you set up with furling - is it a double track foil?
