English
Freebird is a well presented example of a Bavaria 42 Cruiser.
With three double cabins and a spacious saloon, she has space to sleep 7 with Eberspacher heating to all cabins and heads. This is coupled by a high level of inventory including autopilot, radar (2021), twin chart plotters including new Raymarine Axiom at binnacle (2021), bow thruster and rope cutter.
She also benefits from other recent upgrades including new standing rigging (2021), main & genoa (2021) and sprayhood & bimini (2023).
Having sold her to the current & previous owners, she is well known to us and well worth viewing.
