1996 Bavaria 37

This remarkable 37ft sailboat (top of the line model in 1996) was manufactured in Germany. It is an excellent performer in any weather. This OWNER’S VERSION has unsurpassed hull construction techniques with a rich and beautiful mahogany interior. All sails can be controlled and reefed from the cockpit (3 in-the-boom reefs) making KODO readily sailed single handed. She is a well equipped, well maintained sailboat conveniently located here on the Rio Dulce, Guatemala.
