Sailing yacht Bavaria 37/2 cabins Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH
Category of design
Following the European Recreational Craft Directive each boat has to be classified according to a cate-
gory of design.
All sailing yachts of BAVARIA belong to the category of design A,
designed for extended voyages where conditions may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and signifi-
cant wave heights of 4m and above, and vessels largely self-sufficient.
Certification
Actually the EC Directive intends for yachts of this size the certification module Aa only . That means that
the manufacturer certifies the correspondence of construction and equipment with the Directive itself but
stability and buoyancy is checked by another notified body.
Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance GmbH- Yacht Services in Hamburg (a 100% subsidiary of
Lloyd's Register of Shipping; London) was put into charge as a notified body (see: Declaration of Con-
formity).
Identification
The hull identification was formed into the transom on starboard side. This is a unique sequence of digits
and letters . It is
This sequence of digits and letters stands for the following information:

with great probability exists if no adequate precautions are found.
Warning
means that a hazard which can lead to injuries or death exists if no adequate precautions
are found.
Caution
means, that a memory of safety measures or the attention judges on handling , that can be

2. Installations and circuits
2.1 Tanks and piping - water
2.1.1 Fresh water, drinking water -cold
The yacht has a water tank in the aft with a capacity of 150 1.Fresh water is supplied via a water inlet
(with a blue cover) at the transom, port side. You can take water from the tank over a hose connection
leading to the pressure water -pump.
This pump, establishing the complete cold water circulation, is fitted below the pantry. An interruption of
the operation of the pressure pump is done by cutting off all ducts. All pipes/hoses should be checked for
leaks if the pump continuous working though all ducts were cut off properly.
The pump is protected by a filter which should be regularly checked and cleaned if necessary.
Note
Exchange the water in tank from time to time.
Additionally you should use common purifiers .
- 16- (39)

Sailing yacht Bavaria 37/2 cabins Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH
2.1.2 Sea-water circulation
Sea-water is necessary for both WC flushing and engine cooling (see: 2.9).
2.1.3 WC -installation: see enclosed directions for use
Attention
If you are not aboard for a longer time you should
close all sea-valves.
Components: WC-flushing
- 17- (39)

Sailing yacht Bavaria 37/2 cabins Bavaria Y achtbau GmbH
2.2 Tanks and piping - fuel
Storage tank
There is a 150 1plastic diesel tank with an inspection opening on starboard-side below the aft berths. It is
filled via a fuel inlet with a red cover (marked with FUEL) at the transom of the yacht. The tank pickup is
situated on the tank. The supply is made of a fire-proof fuel hose according to ISO 7840. The vent line is
led to above deck.
Supply of the engine
The engine is supplied via a suction pipe from the upper edge of the tank. Due to the short distance a fire
proof fuel pipe is used. This is led via a wide-meshed filter/ water separator , fuel pump and fine filter to
the engine and then back to the tank.
Attention
A trouble free operation of the engine and heating is only possible, if the fuel is clean.
That's why a regular inspection and cleaning of filter/water separator is unavoidable.
The fuel tank should be complete ly emptied and cleaned once a year.
Warning
When refilling the tank:
2.3 Steering gear
Switch off the engine, heating and stove !
Do not smoke or use open lights !
2.3.1 Description of the system
The rudder is a suspended, balanced hydrofoil midship rudder . It is
operated by hand from the steering wheel at the steering post in the
cockpit. Transmission of power is realised by means of rope pulls
and fairleads to the rudder quadrant. With the autopilot (option) an
electric motor installed.
2.3.2 Rudder blade and rudder bearings
The rudder blade is a profiled one. It consists of a FRP -body. The
rudder post with a diameter of 60mm is made of a sea-water resis-
tant aluminium alloy and is laminated into the blade. The post runs
in two easy-going and special rudder bearings. The rudder is fixed
by a mounting clip at the upper end of the post that also serves for
the keeping of the rudder tiller.
The mounting clip is additionally secured with a straight stud bolt
on the rudder post.
Attention
Check regularly and repair if necessary:
- tight hold of the mounting clip on the rudder post
The rudder bearings used by BAVARIA YACHTBAU are self-setting bearings . Since rudder bearings
are subject to wear and tear they should be inspected and maintained regularly .
Emergency tiller
The emergency tiller is stored in the starboard locker seat.
In case of emergency remove the steering wheel, the rudder quadrant for rope pulls and the quadrant for
the auto pilot (option) .
The emergency tiller to be mounted and secured at the top of the tiller wheel.
- 18 - (39)

Sailing yacht Bavaria 37/2 cabins Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH
Attention
Please ensure a suitable bearing lubrication of the necessary parts of the
rudder installation with water-proof lubricants (or Teflon).
Bearing clearance has to be avoided and can be adjusted at the top bearing.
The post must have no clearance but should not need heavy movements.
The steering wheel got a built-in brake, which you can fasten. Make always sure that this brake is not
tight especially when sailing with the auto pilot. This would mean an overload for the electric motor .
The socket of the steering gear is integrated into the deck's form. On the socket there is the casing of the
wheel hub. A chain is laid over a tooth-wheel of the hub. Both the rope pulls are run from the rudder
quadrant via fairleads to the ends of this chain, where they are fixed crosswise by means of wire-rope
grips, protected with an elastic covering.
Each end of the rope pulls has one shroud adjuster each fixed at the rudder quadrant. It is recommendable
to check these ropes from time to time and to retighten if necessary.
2.4. Bilge pumps, bilge pipes
The chain locker is made watertight towards the yacht. It is self-bailing through two holes in the skin.
All BAVARIA yachts have got a self-bailing cockpit. The drain wells are placed at the rear and lowest
part of the cockpit and are led outboard through the transom with hoses.
2.4.1 Description of the pumping arrangement
The yacht is equipped with both a manual pump and an electric bilge pump. The main line bilge suction
has a capacity of 75 I/min.
A draw bucket is an ideal means for bailing out water . It should always be ready in a
cockpit seat locker.
Attention
Close all sea valves if you leave your yacht for a longer period. Valves being not
clearly visible, like e.g. in the toilet room , should only be opened before use and clo-
sed short after.
Warning
