bavaria 40 jj sailboatdata

German engineering, good design and a great exchange rate make this cruiser irresistible

For once the conditions were perfect for a boat test. The afternoon sea breeze had slipped beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and quickly vaporized the lingering morning haze. The pale sun backlit the handsome Bavaria 40 as it galloped toward Pier 39 on a close reach, kicking up sheets of spray. The only problem was that I wasn't actually aboard the Bavaria. I was on a leaky 16-foot Whaler masquerading as a photo boat.

"Don't worry, if you don't make it aboard the water temperature is in the mid-50s, you'll survive for several minutes," joked photographer Bob Grieser, as he maneuvered the Whaler around, over and occasionally through the square waves. Fortunately the crew aboard the Bavaria rolled in the headsail when they spied us, slowing their forward motion. Grieser, like other SAILING Magazine photographers I work with, is a superb boat handler, although his sense of humor is another issue. Nearing the pitching Bavaria 40 he accelerated toward the port quarter and then quickly slowed as I clutched the stern pulpit to steady myself. With my trusty notebook in hand I plopped aboard and pushed the Whaler away. It may not have been my most graceful entry, but at least I was dry.

The details The Bavaria 40 is a new model from Germany's largest production sailboat builder, Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH. The company builds a complete line of J&J-designed, performance cruisers from 31 to 50 feet and three center-cockpit bluewater designs, including the Ocean 40, not to be confused with the aft-cockpit Bavaria 40.

Mention Bavaria to most American sailors and they think beer not boats. However, Bavaria has quietly become the second largest sailboat company in the world, rolling out 1,700 to 1,800 boats a year off its high-tech assembly line in southern Germany. The factory is strategically located in the small town of Giebelstadt, which isn't close to any major body of water, but is just a day's drive for a delivery truck to the seaports on the Baltic, Mediterranean and Atlantic.

The reason for Bavaria's success in the marketplace is value. A new, well-equipped 40-footer delivered stateside will cost less than $200,000. And this is for a high-quality, nicely appointed boat that sails beautifully. The value becomes readily apparent as you stroll around a major boat show and pit the Bavaria 40 against its competitors. How do they do it? By marrying an old-fashioned economic principle with state-of-the-art technology.

While many sailboat manufacturers are limiting production and charging more for boats built to order, Bavaria is taking another tack by churning out boats and keeping prices low. The company has invested in computer-aided manufacturing equipment that has streamlined the production process. Bavaria employs special tools for cutting not only the interior wood sections (other builders do this as well), but also for edge trimming and finish cutouts on the deck. This process reduces man-hours per boat significantly, and the company passes the savings on to the consumer. The task for Bavaria is to be able to sell enough boats to make it all pay. North America should become an important market for Bavaria, especially in the short run as the strength of the U.S. dollar makes exports appealing for European builders.

On deck Once I finally settled myself in the cockpit, Len Baronit, Bavaria's West Coast dealer, rolled out the 140-percent genoa, and I took the helm. Off we went, accelerating like a sports car and pushing the rail into the water. We were overcanvassed, but it was great sailing just the same.

The cockpit is deceptively large, and the helmsman has good visibility and leg support. The pedestal is more of a console with a molded display for both sailing and engine instruments, with easy access to the single-lever throttle control. The steering is made by Whitlock, and it was very responsive despite the large headsail. The leather-wrapped wheel felt good in the cool conditions. The helm station is located well aft, making it a bit of stretch to reach the self-tailing Harken primaries. The cockpit seats are covered with teak, as is the cockpit sole, a feature I prefer to the more traditional teak grating. The seat backs are angled for comfort, and although we were heeled, the cockpit felt very secure. There are two decent-sized cockpit lockers and a swim step and boarding platform aft. There are well-positioned stainless steel grab rails over the companionway, although there isn't much of a bridgedeck, and you'll have to keep the hatchboards in place to keep an errant wave from entering the cabin.

Teak decks are about a $7,000 option, and they not only dress the boat up, but also offer a terrific nonskid surface. Although teak decks are not the maintenance worry that they used to be, they still require periodic care, making them something of a triage that defines a sailor's priorities. I confess, I prefer the no-maintenance, strictly utilitarian molded nonskid myself. Call me lazy, call me boring, I can deal with it.

Teak covered or not, the decks on the Bavaria 40 are wide and easy to navigate. The shrouds are inboard, making for tight sheeting angles, and they are led to single-pod chainplates that transfer the rig loads to the hull via a tie rod below. A double-spreader Seldon mast and rigid boom vang along with a conventional mainsail are standard. Furlex roller furling is the standard gear for the headstay. A 7-ounce, 140-percent genoa by Elvstrom is also standard. The mainsheet traveler, which is located forward of the companionway, is a bit on the short side, and regular readers know I am not a great fan of midboom sheeting.

A stainless steel anchor roller and electric windlass housed in an external anchor locker are standard. The tapered stanchions could be taller, and the solid, brushed aluminum railing is curious. It looks great and has fairleads for mooring lines, including an amidships springs, but you can't secure lines to it otherwise. There are long, stainless steel handrails on the cabintrunk. Bavaria uses first-rate deck hardware and fittings, including Goiot cleats, Gebo hatches and Rutgerson opening portlights.

Down below Falling off onto a tight reach, Baronit and I dropped below. I was immediately struck by how quiet things were. It was windy and we were sailing at 7 knots, yet there was no creaking or groaning. The 40 is obviously a well-built boat. The Bavaria's hull is solid fiberglass below the waterline, with a reinforced bow shield made of Kevlar that the company claims is actually bulletproof. The hull centerline carries extra laminate layers, and the keel flange is also reinforced. Floors are S-glass for added strength. The standard keel section is cast iron with a draft of 6 feet, 4 inches. An optional lead keel is available, as is a 5-foot, 4-inch shoal-draft keel made of either material. The topsides and deck are cored with Divinycell foam. All Bavarias are built under strict Germanischer Lloyd's guidelines.

"The Bavaria 40 is available with two interior plans, either a two- or three-cabin model," Baronit said. It is interesting how you look at things differently at different times in your life. Ten years ago I would have noted that cramming three private cabins into a 40-foot boat was an absurd waste of space. Today, I like the idea of a private cabin for each daughter. Both arrangements feature elegant varnished mahogany joinerwork, a clean white molded overhead liner and first-class appointments. Both models include a V-berth cabin forward with a hanging locker to port and a head to starboard. There is a dressing seat and actually enough room to stand up and change clothes without toppling into the bunk. The head, which is located within the forward stateroom, is a bit tight, although the aft head is spacious and includes a separate shower stall. I haven't completely abandoned my earlier principles. I still believe that a single head is adequate for a 40-foot boat.

The saloon in the two-cabin model features a wraparound dinette to starboard and two comfortable seats opposite. There is a small table between the seats for cocktails or cards, and storage in lockers behind them. If you don't need the extra sleeping cabin, this arrangement is the most livable. The Bavaria 40 is filled with small but nice standard features, including curtains for the ports, roller shades for the hatches and lovely Kerpen blue interior fabric-touches commonly found on European boats.

The C-shaped galley is to port, with the stove and oven outboard and two stainless sinks facing forward. Twelve-volt refrigeration is standard. There is enough counter space to create a meal without too much shuffling, and stout fiddles will keep the chopped vegetables from sliding to the sole when cooking in lumpy conditions. The navigation station is opposite the galley, and it has a good-sized chart table, a comfortable seat and tool locker beneath. While the nav station is situated in the same location on either the two- or three-cabin model, the galley lines the port side of the saloon in the three-cabin model. This arrangement provides ample counter space but doesn't work as well as the C-shaped galley on the two-cabin model for cooking when under way. The three-cabin model also includes a centerline dinette settee.

The two-cabin model places the large double aft cabin to starboard, while the three-cabin model puts a smaller double to each side. Bavarias are turning up in more and more charter fleets, and charter companies obviously prefer the three-cabin layout.

Under sail Back in the cockpit, we were scooting across the bay. We brought the boat through the wind and eased off onto a moderate reach. The 40 accelerated quickly and tipped the speedo at 7 knots. It didn't take long to push it up to 7.5. Grieser had to work to keep up with us in the photo boat. Naturally there had been weather helm when we were blasting upwind with the big genny, but the helm was light and balanced once we came off the wind. The crisp westerly was steady at 20 knots, and we slipped lower onto a broad reach. There was just enough of a sea running to feel an occasional lift and a bit of surfing as we skidded toward Alcatraz. After a careful but well-executed jibe, we hauled in the sheets and started driving upwind again. The motion was surprisingly easy, with little tendency to pound. I made my way forward to clear the foot of the headsail on the pulpit. We were well heeled, but I felt secure with one hand on a handrail on the cabintop and good nonskid underfoot.

The Bavaria 40 combines excellent German engineering, versatile sailing characteristics and comfortable accommodations in an affordable package. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Bavaria soon becomes a major player in the U.S. sailboat market.

Well-known member.

So, exciting news, we are in the process of buying a 2002 Bavaria 40! Does anyone have any information about them to share? https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/bavaria-40-jj  

Post your question on the Bavaria Yacht Info forum - http://bavariayacht.org/ It's a mine of information!  

Ah thanks, I wasn’t even aware that site existed!

markhomer said: Me too , excellent boat despite the ignorant comments peeps make of bavarias , these boats built early 2000s were built like brick watsits , heavy glassed in stringers , german lloyds approved , we sailed thousands of miles over 7 seasons on west coast of scotland , with d2 55 (witthout evc ) a very reliable engione , and fast , deep lead keel firmly attached and gave excellent speed under sail , we often hit double digits with ease and safety ( me and trouble and strife ), as above i think the 2003 b38 was the 2002 40 just tinkered with to create new model . Our boat was fitted out with same equipment you would find on a halberg rassey . , you wont be dissapointed . Click to expand...

jordanbasset said: Seems similar to my boat, which also had the deep lead keel and the D2-55 (neither of which I think was standard though) Took it from the UK to Greece, felt very safe in it Click to expand...

Generally early 2000 Bav robust and having owned a34 and sailed a50 in med all the bits much the same whatever size. I would check last saildrive seal replacement date and rudder for osmosis . Otherwise original elvstrom sails if stil there should be replaced as fairly poor. Mattresses on berths rather thin so look at replacing or toppers. Electronics should have been upgraded by now from original chartplotter hopefully. Sometimes the caulk in cockpit teak becomes sticky and needs regrouting maybe? Enjoy what is a great boat for trips to st Malo but do go through lock and avoid sablanes marina as tide rip and bouncy etc.

Yes do have AIS if possible -we retro fitted send and reciever from Digital yacht on our Bav and worked well and might be less than raymarine option . Dont know if that version of Raymarine bluetooths to ipad but if so you might find more useful than navionics as the AIS is picked up via the raymarine set up-that said replacement charts on Raymarine exhobitant compared to downloading navioinic versions for reasosn which were explained to me once but cannot recall.

Bavaria 40 Vision

• By Mark Pillsbury
• Updated: February 13, 2007

Bavaria Yachts has stepped out with a pair of guns blazing in its hunt for sailors in the upscale part of the cruiser market. Last summer, the German sailboat manufacturer launched the first boats in its new Vision Series, a 40- and a 44-footer, aiming squarely at the deck-saloon offerings of such rivals as Jeanneau, Etap, and Hunter. (So far, only the 40 Vision has made a hop stateside, making its American debut last fall.)

Based on plans drawn by longtime Bavaria collaborator J&J Yacht Design of Slovenia, the 40 Vision and 44 Vision feature beefed-up sail plans, modest-draft and deep-keel options, and performance hulls wrapped around loads of space for comfortable surroundings below. A 50-foot version is also in the works.

Moored side by side against a quay just outside the offices of Yates Alemanes, Bavaria’s largest dealer, in Palma de Mallorca, the 40 and 44 looked virtually identical to me: Both have relatively low coach roofs, cat’s-eye ports, beamy hulls, the telltale Bavaria blue stripe along the coachroof, and teak decks. Both offer stern boarding via a swim platform, twin Lewmar wheels, molded-in teak-topped cockpit tables, and fold-down, recessed dodgers. Both have fractional Seldén rigs with in-mast furling (also available in a conventional rig), Seldén Rodkicker vangs, mast-mounted spinnaker poles, Elvström Sobstad sails, Furlex roller furlers, and single bow rollers that feed chain out of lockers equipped with Lewmar windlasses.

And that’s the point. When J&J sets out to design a new Bavaria, the company has two goals: optimize performance and optimize manufacturing. In simple terms, that means make the same gear work across multiple models so Bavaria can buy in bulk and keep prices down. Bavaria doors, fold-up companionway steps (for engine access), and cockpit lockers all use the same hinges. Saloon tables are interchangeable, with the 40’s table also designed to fit the Bavaria 37 Cruiser. Volvo engines and saildrives are delivered from the factory in one piece so a lone worker can slip each into place and secure it with eight bolts threaded through computer-cut holes in the boat’s laminated-in integral grid.

When I stepped below I began to see what 4 feet in length means in interior volume. On the 44, you feel as though you can stretch out a bit in the slightly larger saloon and certainly in the forward cabin. Two steps on either side of the V-berth queen offer easy access and flank two large storage drawers under. There’s a small bench seat to starboard with a double hanging locker over; to port is an enclosed head with a foldout shower enclosure. The 40 also serves up a queen berth forward, but without the forward head, and with two smaller lockers on either side of the cabin.

Aft of the main bulkhead, each boat has a large dining table to port with a bench seat amidships that provides a solid handhold while moving forward. To starboard, the 44 has two chairs separated by a table, while the 40 offers a perhaps more practical settee that could be used by a not-too-tall crew for napping. Aft of these are forward-facing nav stations with fiddled desktops, room below for a few paper charts, and ample space to install the electronics of an owner’s choosing.

At the foot of the companionway, both boats have heads with showers to starboard and quite workable galleys to port. Outboard in each are a two-burner propane stove and oven and a 12-volt refrigeration-equipped ice chest. Forward in the L-shaped galleys there are stainless-steel double sinks with front-opening refrigerators. Countertops are Corian with tall, rounded fiddles.

Farther aft are double cabins, each with hanging lockers; thick, comfortable-looking mattresses; and opening ports.

In the saloon of each boat, cabin-top hatches are covered by shades to help cut heat from the sun; blinds over the deck-saloon ports are recessed behind plywood trim that runs the length of the cabin. While handholds are ample throughout the saloon, this trim board is placed in a way that presents a tempting handhold in a seaway, especially in the galley, and I think its heft would be insufficient to support someone grabbing it. I’d also like to have seen a sealer applied to the ends of floorboards.

It’s worth noting that the Visions are at the upper end of the price range at this segment of the market, so more attention to detail and finish might be expected.

On deck, differences between the two Visions emerge, as well, particularly in the cockpit, where the size of the 44 allows for wide coamings that are easy to step up on when headed forward. On the 40, these are narrower, with steps that provide a less secure foothold. Stainless-steel grabrails are found on either side of the cabin top, and with chainplates located inboard, wide side decks make for a worry-free trip forward while under way.

And under way is where you’ll enjoy being.

Heading out of the harbor toward Badia de Palma, the 40 Vision, powered up by its 40-horsepower Volvo diesel and saildrive (a 55-horsepower is optional; the 44 comes standard with a 55-horsepower and an optional 75-horsepower Volvo) accelerated quickly to nearly 8 knots at 2,600 rpms, according to the onboard GPS, and backed well after an initial bout of starboard prop walk.

As we rounded the breakwater into about 8 to 10 knots of breeze, out rolled the sails and we were off, the boat heeling modestly and cutting smoothly through the light chop.

On this day, we had the benefit of the sailmaker’s presence aboard the 40 to tweak, trim, and keep us on pace with the 44. The Vision 40 tacked easily through 100 degrees, and we sailed along at just over 6 knots in about 9 knots of true wind. The boat comes equipped with Raymarine ST 60 Tridata and wind instruments. The chart plotter (mounted at the end of the cockpit table) and autopilot are options.

Cracking off, we continued to hold our own against the 44. Relaxing at the leeward helm station, I took my hand off the wheel for a moment, and then another moment, and then several more. On a reach, this boat just dug in and sailed straight, without need of a helmsman until it was time to tack.

After an hour and a half of enjoyable sailing, it was time to luff up and jump across to the bigger Vision. It, too, moved along at 6.7 knots in about 9 knots of true wind, and I couldn’t help but notice that it was tough to pull away from the nearby 40. Maybe it was that sailmaker?

At the dock, it occurred to this American observer that back home, a Bavaria is a relatively rare sight (Bavaria Yachts USA hopes to import 130 a year), but here, smack-dab in the middle of the Med, they’re everywhere. And indeed, that perception is true. Bavaria makes 3,200-plus boats a year, and now it has two more in its line with which to woo the Yanks.
