Charter Fleet expands - another Bavaria

by Jane Pares on 23 Sep 2007 Rob Thexton was delighted to welcome Pure Escape as the eighth Bavaria and first B37 into his Bayswater charter fleet (www.charterlink.co.nz) this week.

It was a lovely sunny day behind the Team New Zealand base with the launch attracting quite a line up of friends as well as contractors who’d worked on the boat. It’s a team effort to get the boat to launch point, as it is to sail her.

The Short family will get some sailing time on her before the charter season kicks in and then will have plenty of chances to sail her in between charters.

She’s the fourth B37 into the water in New Zealand - the first one arrived back in September 2005 and has been sailed out of Gulf Harbour.

Reviewed by Trade-A-Boat autumn 2006, 'Calling a boat ‘cruiser’ is easy and many manufacturers do. But few make boats that will readily endure the hard work involved in following the cruising life. The Bavaria’s quality construction, high standard of equipment and roomy interior make her a true cruising boat and there are plenty of them out there doing it, to provide proof.'

'The Bavaria 37 is an excellent little cruiser that offers performance and good value for money.'
