Overview

Step aboard to a serene white oak interior complemented by elm flooring and a smart three-cabin, one-head layout designed for effortless cruising and refined comfort. Climate control is assured by reverse‑cycle air conditioning rated at 16,000 BTU across two units serving the master and aft cabins, with a separate reverse‑cycle 12,000 BTU unit dedicated to the salon. The master cabin features a generous double berth with ample storage, a headboard, and a full‑height mirror, while the aft twin cabins each offer a double berth with storage. In the salon, the table lowers with a dedicated cushion to create an additional double berth, and every berth is topped with luxury cold‑foam mattresses with a memory layer. Ambient ceiling and cupboard lighting elevate the salon’s atmosphere, complemented by LED overhead lights and reading lights with USB at each berth. Privacy and ventilation are meticulously addressed with curtains for coachroof and hull windows, plus blinds and mosquito nets for the hatches. A fresh‑water‑flush electric toilet, a fresh‑water dockside inlet, and a salon smoke detector complete the thoughtful interior appointments.

The galley is cruiseready, with a 110 L front‑loading fridge, a three‑burner LPG stove with oven, a microwave, and a 20 L engine‑heated hot‑water boiler, all surrounded by well-arranged cabinets and drawers for organized storage. Entertainment flows inside and out via a Fusion system with an integrated DVD player, Bluetooth streaming, and multi‑zone control at the chart table, driving two salon speakers and, via a Fusion remote, two cockpit speakers; a TV in the salon rounds out the media suite.

Navigation and electronics are anchored by a B&G Zeus³S nine‑inch chartplotter with touchscreen and an expanded keypad at the cockpit table, paired with new radar for 2026 and an AIS system integrated with the electronics. In the cockpit, two B&G Triton² digital displays present key data from a B&G wind vane and a DST800 transducer for speed, depth, and temperature. Long passages are simplified by a B&G autopilot with compass and a WR10 wireless remote, while communications are handled by a B&G V60 VHF with built‑in AIS receiver and a B&G H60 wireless handset at the chart table. Connectivity includes GoFree Wi‑Fi integration and a 3G/4G antenna. Safety and visibility are enhanced by LED navigation lights, a red safety light at the companionway, a magnetic compass at both helm stations, and a safety light at each helm.

Developed by BAVARIA YACHTS in collaboration with Cossutti Yacht Design, the rig and sail plan deliver both easy handling and above‑average performance. BAVARIA Chines and the BAVARIA V‑shaped bow contribute to exceptional stability, a longer waterline, and a more direct, rewarding helm feel. The deck‑stepped aluminum furling mast features two spreaders, teamed with an Elvstrøm Cruisetech Dacron furling mainsail and an Elvstrøm Cruisetech Dacron self‑tacking furling jib that has never been used and remains in its bag. For added power, an Elvstrøm Sporttech laminate 109% genoa with vertical battens runs on dedicated genoa tracks, managed by a mid‑boom sheeting system. A spinnaker halyard, a flag halyard on the spreader, Dyneema halyards throughout the running rigging, a mechanical backstay adjuster, a rod kicker, and a wind indicator ensure precise control, while two mast steps and rope storage at the coachroof keep operations tidy and efficient.

Under power, a Yanmar 3JH40 diesel rated at 40 hp shows approximately 421 hours and drives a saildrive with a three‑blade folding propeller. Ship’s power is supported by a Nextgen 5.5E generator with approximately 393 hours, a tunnel bow thruster with a 180 Ah battery, one 95 Ah AGM engine battery, and two 180 Ah AGM service batteries for a total of 360 Ah. Charging and conversion are handled by a 40 Ah three‑channel battery charger and a true‑sine‑wave 2,000 W 110 V inverter, with shore connectivity via two 110 V shore‑power inlets. For peace of mind, both electric and manual bilge pumps are fitted.

On deck, design priorities center on the pure joy of sailing, with an unusually generous bow area and side decks for this size of yacht. The cockpit is a triumph of ergonomics, its L‑shaped seating wrapped around a large GRP cockpit table with storage and folding leaves, while twin GRP wheels open a clear path aft to the expansive manual bathing platform. Protection and comfort come from a dodger with an integrated handhold and a large bimini, sunpad cushions forward, cockpit cushions, and teak‑topped helmsman seats with removable footrests. An electric anchor windlass with capstan winch handles ground tackle that includes a 40 kg Rocna anchor on 160 feet of galvanized chain and a Delta 10 kg spare anchor. The deck is finished with Esthec composite on the cockpit floor, benches, and bathing platform, and the GRP cockpit table has a protective cover. Practical touches abound: a hot‑and‑cold cockpit shower, a stainless handrail on the coachroof, Kato davits, guard‑rail exits to both sides, safety lights at each helm, a GRP single rudder with an aluminum stock, and an emergency tiller.

Exclusions: the dinghy, outboard, BBQ grill, and the owner’s personal items do not convey with the boat.
