With a length of 12.47 metres, a beam of 3.96 metres and a draft of 1.65 metres, this popular Bavaria model offers an excellent combination of sailing performance, comfort and living space.

For navigation, “Lucky” has an extensive Raymarine package, including ST60 log, depth and wind instruments, a Raymarine E7 chartplotter, Raymarine ST6001 autopilot and a Raymarine 650 AIS transponder. The VHF radio was updated in 2024 and can also be operated from the cockpit.

The yacht has been owned by the current owner since 2017 and has sailed in the Netherlands, Belgium and the south-southwestern part of the United Kingdom.
