Bavaria Open 40

  • By Cruising World Staff
  • Updated: August 16, 2015

Very responsive. Tacked easily with main alone,” I wrote and underlined in my notebook after sailing the Bavaria Open 40 catamaran, which made its North American debut at Strictly Sail Miami in February. For the boat, and for the builder, the show was a coming-out party. Last summer, Bavaria Yachts purchased catamaran builder Nautitech, and with the transaction came the recently launched Open 40, a concept developed by Nautitech founder Bruno Voisard and his team in Rochefort, France. The boat was designed by naval architect Marc Lombard.

Bavaria, which builds a range of sailboats and powerboats at its yard in Giebelstadt, Germany, had wanted to add multihulls to its lineup and found a fit with Nautitech, the company said in announcing the deal. The Open 40, as well as a 46-foot sailing catamaran expected to launch next year, will be branded as Bavarias; two other models, a 48 and a 54, will continue to be sold as Nautitechs. Voisard will remain with the company, and catamaran production (both sail and power) will continue in Rochefort.

When I saw the Open 40 at the dock during the show, I liked it well enough, but the cat really came alive once we were out on open water.

Motoring, the twin 30-horsepower Yanmar engines and saildrives had us cruising at 6.8 knots (2,500 rpm). Wide open (3,900 rpm), our speed jumped past 8 knots.

When we reached Biscayne Bay, the main was easily raised using the electric Lewmar winch, conveniently located near the starboard helm station. (The boat has twin wheels, mounted outboard on either stern.) Then, in no time flat, the sail was sheeted in, and with a turn of the wheel we tacked smoothly back and forth — not always a successful endeavor in light air on a big multihull. The self-tacking jib unfurled with a tug of the outhaul, and then we were off. It was as simple as that.

At the start of our sail, the breeze was in the 8- to 10-knot range, and closehauled, the speedo hovered right around 5 knots. Later, with the breeze blowing twice as hard, we scooted right along at nearly 8 knots — and, yes, the Open 40 was quite a lively and fun boat to drive.

The Open 40 concept centers around a small but adequate enclosed saloon that spills out through a pair of sliding glass doors to a spacious outdoor living space under a hard bimini. On this boat you spend your time outside, soaking in your surroundings, and retreat to the interior only to sleep and cook.

The saloon has a compact galley with a two-drawer fridge, a sink, a propane two-burner stove and oven to starboard, and a table/nav station with couches on either side to port. The boat comes in two possible layouts (both with two heads with showers): a three-cabin version for private owners, and four cabins for charter. Three ports in either hull provide light in the cabins below; deck hatches overhead in the cabins and saloon open for ventilation.

The Open 40’s hulls are solid glass below the waterline and cored above it. The deck, cabin and bimini are cored as well. The hulls are relatively fine at and below the waterline for good performance, and then flare out with chines to create living space below deck and buoyancy at sea.

The boat I sailed was loaded with options. All up and ready to sail, the price quoted at the show was $539,000 (a base boat costs $423,700, delivered to the East Coast). Nautitech has developed a good reputation for building quick cruising cats. With Bavaria’s worldwide dealer network, including Horizon Yacht Charters, expect to see a whole lot more of them out there sailing soon.

First look: Bavaria C46 – proven concept, bigger size

  • Theo Stocker
  • February 10, 2023

The new Bavaria C46 follows hot on the heels of an impressive C38 and C42, and should deliver plenty of volume below without sacrificing sailing comfort

bavaria catamaran

Product Overview

We tested the latest Bavaria C45 in 2018, which at the time was the first Cossutti designed Bavaria in that size range. Just five years later, Bavaria are bringing out a boat just one foot longer, although for the time being they say that the older boat will remain in the lineup.

The Bavaria C46 will follow in the footsteps of the Bavaria C38 and Bavaria C42 in maximising hull volume with full-length hull chines and a wide beam of 4.7m carried all the way aft. The hull is controlled with a single, deep and balanced spade rudder, and seakindliness is improved by a v-bow section in the forefoot – a concept that appeared to work well when I tested the C38, making the Bavaria C46’s smaller sister engaging and enjoyable to sail despite the large volume.

Where the new Bavaria C46 really shines, however, is the sheer amount of space and accommodation on board. The only fixed point of the accommodation is the saloon and galley, with C-shaped seating around a table to starboard with a bench seat amidships, and a large C-shaped galley along the hull side to port. Aft of the galley is a forward facing chart table – these are making their way back onto boats as remote working from on board is now commonplace.

bavaria catamaran

Plenty of volume makes for a very spacious interior.

This is where the options kick in. The boat comes in three, four, or five cabin layouts, with either one or two double cabins forwards. The fifth comes from replacing the heads and shower compartment starboard aft with a bunk cabin, meaning two families of five could comfortably sail together.

For those looking to cruise without so many guests, the port heads and chart table can be replaced with a utility room, making space for washing machines and dryers, as well as ample stowage space for tools or as a wet locker.

If you go for the four double cabin layout, you can also have en suite heads for every cabin. Some of these layouts will appeal more for charter companies, but the drawings look like Bavaria have got the heart of the boat right, and highly practical.

On deck, the cockpit is wider than it is long, with L-shaped seats on either side around either one or two cockpit tables, which convert to sunpads. Most lines are led aft to the helm stations, though some options have coaming-top genoa winches. Genoa car tracks are mounted on the coachroof for a fine sheeting angle.

There isn’t an option to have boom-end mainsheet attachment sadly, but otherwise this all looks like a sensible and easily-handled boat.

Bavaria Cruiser 45 review: from the archive

  • Toby Hodges
  • June 2, 2021

This production 45-footer offers huge volumes of living space from a starting price around £125,000. Toby Hodges finds out just how much much boat you you get for your bucks with the Bavaria Cruiser 45

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

Bavaria is back with a bang. Their collaboration with Farr Yacht Design and Designworks USA has proved to be a dream in terms of sales figures so there are naturally high hopes for the Bavaria Cruiser 45.

The Cruiser 32 has sold a staggering 300 since her launch last September and 60 of the 45s have already been shifted since her debut in Düsseldorf in January.

There is also a 55 and a new 40; a 36 follows this autumn.

The fold-down transom/bathing platform and twin rudder combos have been particularly successful and the Bavaria Cruiser 45 seems to deliver as many benefits as the 55 in an arguably more tempting package.

With a Force 4, gusting 5 briefly at times, and a 1.5-2m swell in Palma Bay, we had ideal testing conditions.

Upwind we were into early 7 knot speeds at 40-45° to the true wind. What the Bavaria Cruiser 45 lacks in feel and response, she makes up for in seakindliness.

I was pleasantly surprised by her motion through the swell and she kept consistent speed without slamming. This was very noticeable down below at heel.

On Bavarias of old things creaked, groaned and banged, but since Farr took over the design work, greater focus has been placed on strength – from laminating bulkheads to the hull and deck to fitting abundant sturdy handholds, and it’s certainly a lot more reassuring.

We cracked off 30° (70-80° true) to reach across the swell at commendable passagemaking speeds of 8.5 knots in 15.

The sails had been specified by the yacht’s Swiss lady owner, who planned to go bluewater sailing , and comprised an in-mast, vertical-battened main, with 107 per cent jib, though a self-tacking option is available.

Sailing the Bavaria Cruiser 45

Rather than the standard Dacron, these had Elvström’s Epex membrane, a modified aramid fibre.

The battens in the main gave it impressive roach and shape for an in-mast sail, aided by good luff tension from the Selden mast profile.

Had we had one on board, an asymmetric would have made friends with the swell.

As it was, our efforts at goose-winging quickly became uncomfortable, producing 6 knots in 12 knots of wind, and we settled instead for some long, lazy reaches for offwind work, making 8 knots at 130° true.

Despite using a steel-link system, the steering didn’t feel direct, but the dual rudders provide good tracking, and an improvement in rudder angle over the original design for the 55 proved noticeable.

That flat, low coachroof makes for clear views forward and the helmsman has easy side deck access and lift-up sole plates for good standing security.

The split backstay set-up, however, restricts seated comfort in the after quarters of the cockpit.

Under engine, she behaved obediently for a twin-rudder set-up, making 6.8 knots at 2,000rpm with her upgraded 75hp motor.

On balance, an enjoyable boat to sail, though slightly lacking in response, but easy to handle with creditable performance.

Make your way down the narrow, steep companionway and what greets you is not that visually exciting. But you’ll soon appreciate what these new Cruisers offer in abundance – space.

It has to be seen to be believed. Headroom is key – a pro basketball player would be quite content in any of the cabins.

Bavaria-Cruiser-45-review-saloon-credit-R-Langdon:Ocean-Images

The saloon has a nav area, but no dedicated nav seat.

The luxury of having an en-suite heads for each cabin is unique at this size too – this will be greatly appreciated on charter.

The test boat’s interior was done in mahogany, but light oak and walnut veneers are also available. However, the large surface areas of bulwark panels make for a rather monotonous appearance.

Ten colour schemes are available for the upholstery – we had the white leather option.

Like the Impression 444, the small windows, hatches and ports combine well to encourage natural light, but unlike her rival, the Cruiser’s sole is convenient on one level.

Build for the future

Design by Farr and BMW Designworks USA does not come cheap and demonstrates the investment Elan have made in this model.

Build cost will have increased with all those flush hatches and windows.

The laminating process is also a lot more detailed, with greater reinforcement and new tray moulds for structural stiffness, encapsulating the keel top.

But Bavaria still manage to keep the end price down.

On deck of the Bavaria Cruiser 45

  • A useful aluminium toerail, large cleats and double bow roller, plus a proper sail locker with steps/ladder.
  • The helmsman’s seat to starboard lifts to expose the engine controls. The overdrive facility provided by the optional Gori prop meant that she could rack up good speed.
  • The main part of the transom lowers electronically to provide a huge swim/bathing platform, which is a true selling point of this boat.
  • Multiple windows equal a light and airy (huge) interior, helped by exaggerated freeboard.
  • The large table is superb for bracing against and, while the coamings are a little low, it’s a comfortable spot under the sprayhood looking aft.
  • Cockpit stowage is impressive – you could fit a deflated tender in any of the three large lockers (the central one under the sole is particularly capacious)

Below deck on the Bavaria Cruiser 45

Bavaria-Cruiser-45-review-saloon2-credit-R-Langdon:Ocean-Images

The uninspiring table could fit eight at a squeeze.

The saloon is a no-frills zone, even in optional leather fit-out.

The uninspiring table could fit eight at a squeeze, there’s little practical stowage and the aft-facing chart table area is bland.

Losing a dedicated navigation area to the heads on this size of boat speaks volumes about its market.

Bavaria-Cruiser-45-review-galley-credit-R-Langdon:Ocean-Images

There’s an abundance of flush worktop area.

Linear galleys have their critics.

They can be less secure and practical at heel, but with an L-shaped aft end and sturdy bracing against the saloon seat, this arrangement works well, boosting the open-plan format.

The 140lt front-opening, forward-facing fridge combines with a large lift-top unit.

There’s an abundance of flush worktop area, but only a two-burner stove (with limited room to gimbal) and, despite three pan cupboards below, again useful stowage is limited, with just four small raised lockers and one drawer.

For once these are not cramped for space and you can turn around, touch the ground, practise yoga, or whatever you like.

Headroom is a lofty 6ft 10in and the double berth is generous.

There’s excellent machinery space and good engine access between cabins, but elsewhere locker space is wanting.

The en-suites are light and roomy and a pleasure for both cabins to have their own, where a 6ft 3in person can stand upright under the shower.

The sink and stowage are a little small and rather plastic.

Forward cabin

Bavaria-Cruiser-45-review-forward-credit-R-Langdon:Ocean-Images

The berth is big enough to sleep a couple athwartships as well as fore and aft.

What could be described as a ‘hallway’ separates a seated shower room to port and the heads to starboard – a practical layout.

Forward of this can be the grand master cabin we had on the test boat, or optional twin doubles.

The berth is big enough to sleep a couple athwartships as well as fore and aft, with side shelves providing support to lean against, but again the open layout seems a little bland.

Headroom is 6ft 8in and while there’s plenty of space beneath the bed, stowage elsewhere is poor.

It’s one thing to produce a lot of boat for your buck. And the Bavaria Cruiser 45 is a serious amount of boat. But it’s another to design it well inside and out, to build it to an acceptable standard and above all, to make it sail satisfactorily.

So on all counts bravo to Bavaria. I hold my hand up; I really didn’t take to their old cruiser line. For me they looked cheap, with limited positives. But I’m impressed with this boat. It sails well, it seems to be well-built and well-designed, but above all provides acres of space.

A relative lack of stowage in all cabins is a blemish, and not having a dedicated navigator’s seat on a 45-footer is something that would alarm many.

But these may not be trends that would worry the Bavaria Cruiser 45’s target customer.

The single-level living area is a merger of three areas (galley, saloon, nav area) which will arguably make the less salty types feel at home.

And once you’ve experienced en-suite heads in all cabins, there’s just no going back!

  1. Catamarans

    Nautitech Catamarans. Excellent sailing characteristics, a generous space concept where cockpit and saloon merge into one living space, cabin layouts created for owners and their guests, and a perfect design - that's what NAUTITECH CATAMARANS stands for. The shipyard in Rochefort, directly near the Atlantic Ocean, has been part of the Bavaria ...

  2. BAVARIA YACHTS

  3. Boat Review: Bavaria Nautitech 40 Open

    Boat Review: Bavaria Nautitech 40 Open. Because of its similarity to the previous Nautitech 40 Open, a winner in SAIL's Best Boats contest a few years ago, you could perhaps label the latest version of the boat as a "Mark II" design. Nonetheless, the many tweaks made to the already award-winning design more than warrant giving the latest ...

  4. NAUTITECH 47 POWER

    The clear lines and dynamic design of the NAUTITECH 47 POWER reveal the powerful elegance of this power catamaran. With a top speed of 22 knots, this catamaran doesn't just have powerful acceleration, its cruising range of 1000 miles at a speed of nearly 9 knots is also testimony to its endurance. And whether on deck or below deck, there is ...

  5. NAUTITECH 40 OPEN

    In the BAVARIA NAUTITECH 40 OPEN, the NAUTITECH design team and star designer Marc Lombard have succeeded in redefining the living space of a cruising catamaran. Whereas in the past the deck saloon and cockpit lounge have tended to be separate worlds, here they have been combined - resulting in a completely new feeling of space.

  6. Boat Review: Bavaria Nautitech 46 Fly

    The Nautitech 46 Fly powered quite well, with 2,300 rpm yielding 8.1 knots of boatspeed and full throttle (2,700 rpm) producing 9 knots, which is the theoretical displacement hull speed for this waterline length. Sound levels in the saloon were low. The electronic throttles are a joy to use. With the saildrive props about 6ft ahead of the ...

  7. NAUTITECH 46 OPEN

    The OPEN concept on every BAVARIA catamaran is a unique stroke of genius. Our engineers have placed an enormous sliding glass door between the cockpit lounge and saloon, which merges both of them into one large living space where you can meet and relax. Everything is on one level without steps: kitchen, lounge area, panorama.

  8. Bavaria Yachtbau

    Bavaria Yachtbau was founded in 1978 by Winfried Herrman, a window manufacturer, and Josef Meltl, a yacht charter broker.

Bavaria Yachtbau is one of Europe 's largest yacht manufacturers and is the biggest yacht yard in Germany.

  9. Bavaria Open 40

    For the boat, and for the builder, the show was a coming-out party. Last summer, Bavaria Yachts purchased catamaran builder Nautitech, and with the transaction came the recently launched Open 40, a concept developed by Nautitech founder Bruno Voisard and his team in Rochefort, France. The boat was designed by naval architect Marc Lombard.

  12. Bavaria C42 review: The Ford Model T of 40ft yachts

    Bavaria seems to have combined the best of both ideas, so you really do keep asking yourself if this boat is really only 40ft. The darker walnut veneer of the test boat. Photo: Rick Tomlinson ...

  13. Boat Review: Bavaria Open 40

    The boat is fairly light, with solid glass below the waterline and a cored infused laminate above. The Bavaria Open 40's light-ship displacement is just over 17,000lb, which is about a third less than most other catamarans in this class. Unlike many cats, the underside of the bridgedeck is not a gullwing shape, but rather a flat section that ...

  14. First look: Bavaria C46

    The new Bavaria C46 follows hot on the heels of an impressive C38 and C42, and should deliver plenty of volume below without sacrificing sailing comfort. We tested the latest Bavaria C45 in 2018, which at the time was the first Cossutti designed Bavaria in that size range. Just five years later, Bavaria are bringing out a boat just one foot ...

  15. Bavaria Cruiser 45 review: from the archive
