BAVARIA chines and BAVARIA V-shaped bow provide more volume and more performance: These striking hull design characteristics not only give the BAVARIA C42 more space below deck, they also provide unusual good sailing performance. The BAVARIA chines ensure more stability, a longer waterline and therefore better performance and a more direct feeling when steering. But the prominent angle at the stern of the BAVARIA C42 has another advantage. It yields more space for the stern cabins, providing more comfort.
This New Bavaria C42 is Intracoastal friendly Fully Commissioned and ready now for your Summer enjoyment.
