Overview

‘Mateship’ is a 2002 Bavaria 34 exclusively listed for sale with YOTI Sydney Harbour. ‘Mateship’ is a delight on all fronts, offering the perfect first boat for a young family or an easy-to-handle coastal cruiser for a couple. Well-behaved and predictable, she makes short-handed cruising an absolute pleasure.

This Bavaria 34 features a two-cabin layout with a practical, no-frills interior. Straight settees can be used as sea berths, while the forward-facing chart table at the foot of the companionway includes a wet locker for convenience. The galley is functional at sea, with a 12V top-opening fridge, single basin stainless steel sink, and a two-burner gas stove with oven. The full-width dinette comfortably seats six, and there is excellent headroom, ventilation, natural light, and stowage throughout. ‘Mateship’ easily sleeps six, with a well-proportioned aft double cabin, a spacious V-berth forward, and additional saloon berths.

‘Mateship’ has had several significant upgrades in recent years. She had a new Volvo 30HP engine installed in 2017, with only around 70 hours on the clock, an upgrade from the standard 20HP engine. Providing reliability and peace of mind when leaving the dock. With other upgrades ongoing, including the replacement of several hatches throughout the boat which has significantly improved natural light and ventilation inside.

Her sail wardrobe is well-equipped, including a virtually unused Hood furling Genoa, a fully battened Dacron mainsail, and a symmetrical spinnaker. Electronics include a Raymarine ST60 Wind, Raymarine ST60 Tridata for wind, speed, and depth, and a Raymarine ST6002 Smart Pilot Wheel Steer Autopilot, making navigation and handling straightforward and reliable.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-presented, solidly built, and versatile boat, ideal for a range of uses, thanks to her recent upgrades and maintenance.
