I am looking at a Bav 39 cruiser which has a builder's certificate stating the keel depth to be 2.25m, but then all of the rest of the documents refer to 1.85m... including a tonnage survey.
I am wondering why the discrepancy... Did the builders cert just state the max draft possible?? I would have thought these figures wereexact for the specific boat.
I can see I might have to get under the boat to measure this using the method yngmar suggested in another post.
Any observations/thoughts most welcome.
Cheers
Jon
I find it hard to believe that a Bavaria 39 would have 2.25m draft. Our B40 2001 vintage has the deep lead keel option 2.1m and I believe the standard cast iron keel was around 1.9m
2.25 starts to sound like Match series draft

Yeah I thought that was odd... Then I found this (different boat) https://www.boat24.com/en/sailingboats/bavaria/bavaria-39-cruiser/detail/662090/ and in the advert in several places it goes on about the 2.25 keel so it doesn't seem like an auto fill typo etc... deep keel for the size. I previously thought the 39 cruisers only came with 1.85 or 2.05 options...
