Understanding the name Shady Lady
Shady means moraly degenerated and Lady means a fine and true lady. Some yachtsmen – we used to be among them ourselves – finds that the Bavaria Yacht Works and the quality of ships they build are questionable. Having gotten to know the yacht works and our beloved ship, we recognize her as the fine lady she is. We do however admit that we once had a different view on the ships built by Bavaria Yacht Works. This is why we named her Shady Lady.
