Bavaria 40 Cruiser
Exterior Design
The cockpit is both comfortable and functional, with long bench seats on either side, high coamings for back support and a fixed table with folding leaves amidships. The split twin-wheel helm allows easy access to the stern, where a large fold-down swim platform facilitates immediate access to the water. Moving forward you’ll find the deck is easy to negotiate, thanks to the aggressive antiskid.
Interior Design
Stepping down the companionway, through the neat, teak swinging doors, one finds an interior in the traditional Bavaria fashion, lots of mahogany trim and a warm and comfortable feel. A total of 13 opening hatches and ports for one thing. Certainly, ventilation will not be a problem in this boat. Three opening hatches in the saloon and all the windows along the cabin open to provide good cross-flow.
Cabins
The layout is a typical three-cabin, two-head setup with the main cabin being the forepeak. This is a roomy cabin with a big step-up double berth and plenty of hanging and storage space for your gear. The en suite is roomy with hot/cold shower and a pump-out loo, while a holding tank is standard. There’s good ventilation, but no extraction fan which would be a good inclusion.
Rig and rigging
The Bavaria 40 is fitted with a double-spreader Selden aluminium mast with optional in-mast furling. It’s a simple system which uses the outhaul to deploy the main with marks just aft of the first three battens to indicate the first, second, and third reefs. The standard rig is for a conventional main, fully battened with lazy jacks and a boom bag. A solid boom vang comes as part of the standard NSY package.
Highs
With its high-volume hull, large cockpit, spacious accommodations and variable interior aesthetic, the Cruiser 40 represents a good value for sailors looking for a family cruising boat in this highly competitive size range.
