The new Bavaria 40 is designed to be easy to handle yet very rewarding to sail and features a single rudder with twin wheel steering and short footed head sails.
The exterior of the boat is in keeping with the design language of the new Bavaria Cruiser range and features a large bathing platform with easy water access (in line with the bathing platforms that have been so well received on the Bavaria 32, Bavaria 45 and Bavaria 55), flush hatches and an uncluttered deck and a cockpit designed to comfortably seat at least six people.
Bavaria 40 Accommodation
Benefiting from the hull’s long waterline length, the interior of new Bavaria 40 features three large cabins, two heads and a very light, spacious salon that has long been Bavaria’s trademark. The fore cabin provides an owner a spacious, private area to retire and incorporates its own fully appointed bathroom. The two aft cabins also offer generous proportions, each comfortably accommodating two adults. There is a further fully appointed bathroom with separate shower for each cabin. The salon enjoys great light and space with a galley and table designed to very practically cater for truly relaxed entertaining and there is also a seated, forward facing, fully equipped navigation table for the yachting traditionalist.
As with all new Bavaria Cruisers, the customer can choose from a selection of three wood types and four standard upholstery colours as well as six further optional choices.
