Bavaria Owners Association Logo

Welcome to the BOA

This is the Bavaria Owners' Website, we are an association open for all who have an interest in sailing, chartering and using Bavaria Yachts and Motor Boats.    

We have a busy rally program, open to all members, (example of the 2011 calendar)

Members can access the Forum -  our members board with over 450 contributors containing  over 2600 postings covering nearly 700 topics. If you own a Bavaria this is the must have resource and is available to anyone on the internet. We also have Hints and Tips - an older  resource of fixes, solutions and articles going back to 2002.

As well as  details on our rally program, including rally reports, the Members Clubhouse also contains a free For Sale board,  a Crew Exchange board, and the BOA online shop.

The BOA Magazine is issued 3 times each year Autumn 2011 issue now available, each one full of features, technical tips, recipes, rally reports and news. Back issues are now available to members here.

To join the BOA costs only £15 pa and can be done online or by post

Farewell from the webmaster:
I've looked after the website since 2008, replacing the original site with the one you see today. But it's time to move aside and let fresh ideas in. An exciting new site with lots of new features will be introduced in the coming months and Simon Lloyd will soon take over the role of webmaster.

I will remain as a BOA member and if anyone wishes to get in touch, especially to discuss the Ocean range, I live on in the forum under the username Filibuster.
Bye for now - Martin, Webmaster (retd)
