Designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH in Northern Bavaria, its high residual value is guaranteed. The Bavaria 31 is constructed with a sandwich laminate, a technology used with aircraft and icebreaking boats. This laminate of water repellent and closed-pore foam increases the durability of the shell while decreasing heat conductivity, thus preventing condensation and making the living climate more pleasant. As well, Kevlar fabric is worked into the collision endangered forebody, and a coat of isophthalic acid resin combined with powder-bounded glass mat prevents osmosis and keeps the laminate watertight. Bavaria builds according to the specifications and supervision of Germanischer Lloyd.

Owners comments Seren Wen has been a fantastic boat to own, I typically sail her with one crew member but can be sailed single handed. She has been sailed mainly in the Solent, but also to Plymouth, across to France and has had plenty of overnights in the summer heatwave.  There is a full height cockpit tent, which can be used as a bimini, or just an area for relaxing and keeping dry when the weather turns. Her folding prop and generous sail plan means she slips along easily in light winds leaving much larger boats in her wake. Under power she is responsive with the folding prop gripping well, both ahead and astern when needed. Her fine entry means she cuts through the dreaded Solent chop with ease and has no real vices ahead or astern. She is now ready and waiting to carry her new owners on to new adventures".
