Specifications
Bavaria 890 from 1983 – Polyester Sailing Yacht with Functional Equipment and Practical Layout
The Bavaria 890 is a German-made sailing yacht, built in 1983 by the renowned shipyard Bavaria Yachtbau. This model is designed for recreational use on inland waters and coastal areas, offering a combination of functional sailing characteristics and a practical layout. With a length of 8.90 meters, a width of 2.95 meters, and a draft of 1.65 meters, this vessel is suitable for both novice and experienced sailors looking for a classic polyester yacht with a spacious cockpit and a clear deck.
Hull and Construction
The hull of the Bavaria 890 is made of polyester and features a round bilge hull shape. This construction contributes to the stability and sailing behavior of the vessel. Steering is done via a tiller in the open cockpit. The ship is equipped with a single rudder. The hull has an International Certificate for Pleasure Craft (ICP). The boat was out of the water for maintenance in 2024. No osmosis was detected on the hull, but the rudder blade shows signs of osmosis. The non-slip layer on the deck needs replacement.
Interior and Accommodation
Inside, the Bavaria 890 offers a headroom of 1.85 meters, which adds to the comfort on board. The layout is focused on practical use during weekends or holidays. There are four fixed berths and one additional berth available. The accommodation includes a dining area, mattresses, a stove, an oven, and a refrigerator. The water tank has a capacity of 120 liters. The toilet is manual and discharges directly into open water. For extra comfort, there is hot air heating, making the stay on board more pleasant in cooler seasons.
Sailing Equipment
The Bavaria 890 is equipped with one aluminum mast and has a sail plan consisting of five sails: a jib, genoa, mainsail, storm jib, and spinnaker. The condition of the sails is described as reasonable. The genoa is equipped with a reefing system, which simplifies reefing while sailing. The lines are led to the cockpit, making the ship suitable for solo sailing or sailing with a small crew.
Engine and Technology
The propulsion consists of a Volvo Penta MD7B diesel engine with a power of 17 hp. This two-cylinder engine is electrically started and dates from the same year as the ship (1983). The engine is operational and is fed from a diesel tank with a capacity of 98 liters. The cruising speed is around 6.5 km/h. The electrical installation on board consists of two batteries with a total capacity of 250 Ah, a battery charger, alternator, and shore power connection. A new starter battery has been recently installed.
Navigation and Electronics
In terms of navigation, the Bavaria 890 is equipped with an autopilot, depth meter, chart plotter, electric compass, VHF radio (VHF/DSC/GPS), and a wind meter. The wind meter is currently not functional, but the necessary parts for repair are available. The voltage on board is 12V and 220V.
Equipment and Safety
On deck, the ship is equipped with a manual anchor winch, an anchor with line, pulpit and pushpit, guardrail, swim ladder, and fenders with lines. A frame for a sprayhood and cockpit tent is present. For safety, the ship is equipped with a liferaft from June 2025, a self-draining cockpit, and a manual bilge pump.
Usage and Sailing Area
The Bavaria 890 has been primarily used on lakes and for pleasure cruising and day trips. The owner indicates that the ship sails easily and that the lines are led to the cockpit, which facilitates sailing. A personal memory of the owner is sailing on the IJsselmeer, indicating that the ship is also suitable for larger inland waters.
Additional Information
The ship has a weight of approximately 3,200 kg.
Conclusion
The Bavaria 890 from 1983 is a classic polyester sailing yacht with functional equipment and a practical layout. The ship offers space for five people and is suitable for recreational use on inland waters and coastal areas. With a working engine, a complete sail plan, and basic navigation equipment, this ship is suitable for both day trips and multi-day trips. Potential buyers should consider some maintenance points, including the rudder blade, the non-slip layer on the deck, and the navigation lights.
