Tags: Bavaria 46 Vision, deck salon new for 2012
Just launched! The Bavaria 46 Vision was unveiled at the Dusseldorf boat show in Germany last week. The Yacht Sales West team attended this special event. "We were pretty excited to meet the designers, project managers and builders of this new model." said Len Baronit, President of YSW. The boat garnered buzz at the show which was evident by the enormous line ups of people waiting to get aboard her throughout the show days.
 
The new 46 Vision is the culmination of owner and dealer input combined with the award winning design houses of FARR and Design Unlimited all put together by Bavaria, one of the world's largest boat builders. "This new model is a real game changer for Bavaria. They have really poured a lot of time, energy and attention to detail in this model." concluded Len.
 
For more information on this new model, contact the Yacht Sales West team anytime at 800.993.7245.
Thanks to Simon Cox for putting this video together.

After the Annapolis boat show in October, the Dufour team took the folks of Cruising World magazine out for a spin on the new Dufour 445 Grand Large. 20 knot winds greeted the sailors on the blustery test day. Once the sails where up and the engine turned off, the boat and her crew settled into a fun, comfortable romp on the Chesapeake. Read on for the Cruising World review.
