03-04-2007:ALL-NEW BAVARIA SPORT & HT AVAILABLE FROM ANCASTA

Ancasta, Europe’s largest boat sales network, has announced the exciting arrival of the all-new Bavaria 33 Sport & HT. This new addition to the Bavaria family will be available to view at the Ancasta Port Hamble New Boat Show, which is taking place on 11 – 14 May 2007.

After four years of successful production, Bavaria’s best selling model, the 32, has been replaced with the all-new 33 Sport & HT which is now available to order direct from Ancasta.

This thrilling new development from Bavaria has a separate forward cabin with large walk-around double berth and a spacious aft cabin with two single berths, plus a clever in-fill cushion should you need to convert to a double berth.

Bavaria have designed the stunning new 33 sport family cruiser with copious accommodation space. At 10,40 m, the new Bavaria 33 Sport & HT is a larger boat at 20cm longer (34’) and 25cm wider than its popular predecessor. While there are petrol options, the 2 x Volvo D3-190hp diesel option will undoubtedly be favoured.

The cockpit layout of the Bavaria 33 is ideal for the UK. With a similar layout to the 42, there is an excellent, roomy U-shaped seating area for dining, which can be converted into a large sunpad for lazy lounging in the sun, combined with a convenient and well-located large storage locker beneath, perfect for hiding a dingy and fenders. As well as the standard wetbar, there is now a double helm seat to starboard.

The saloon, head and galley are all nicely proportioned and well lit with plenty of skylights. Alastair Shove, Ancasta’s Bavaria Sales Manager comments, “We are extremely excited about this unique 33ft sports boat, with her separate forward cabin she will be able to provide her guests with privacy and comfort. This cabin arrangement is a distinct development within the 33ft sports boat market. Once again, Bavaria has proven to be at the forefront of boat building. The factory is state of the art and without doubt leading the way in worldwide production methods.”

For complete shelter from the elements and an extended cruising season, Bavaria offer the 33 with a Hard Top option as well as the Sports layout. For those finer days, simply turn the electric sunroof switch and the large electric sunroof slides back.

The Port Hamble and Mercury New Boat Show will give visitors the opportunity to view the new Bavaria 33 Sport & HT plus new boats from Bénéteau, Rodman and Lagoon, side by side and on the water.
