PRICED TO SELL The Bavaria 44 sailing yacht embodies a perfect blend of performance and comfort. Known for their maneuverability, spacious cockpit and ample accommodation, the Bavaria 44 is a very seaworthy vessel. German engineering thoughout, her spacious storage and generously-sized water and fuel tanks allow you to enjoy faster, longer trips afloat.   Akela is a two-owner boat, with the three-cabin two-head layout. The current owners, after purchase, had the full enclosure built, seat cushions reupholstered, and recently added a new Espar hydronic 10 diesel furnace. Akela is an excellent opportunity to get into a well-founded, well-maintained cruising yacht. Upgrades and consistent maintenance has kept this Bavaria 44 sailboat in top condition, making her ready for the upcoming season.  Akela is now for sale and available for viewing on our Vancouver Island sales dock at Port Sidney Marina.
