About the Bavaria C42
The C42 is not a Cruiser 42 with a new badge. The C-line is a different design school: Cossutti Yacht Design replaced Farr, and the result is a boat with a blunt stem, a beamy bow and hard chines running forward — a shape borrowed from modern offshore racing rather than from the previous generation of cruisers.
The point of all that is form stability. A hull that is wide and chined stands up to its sail plan using its shape rather than relying on lead in the keel, which means the boat can carry more sail for the same amount of heel and can give the interior volume that a narrow hull cannot.
In practice it feels different from a Cruiser of similar size: stiffer, more planted, and happier being pushed. It also feels wider below, because it is.
Who it suits
- Crews who want a modern hull
- If you have sailed older production cruisers and found them soft, the chined C-line hull is a noticeably different experience.
- A family or two couples
- Three cabins in typical charter trim, with the beam carried aft giving proper double berths rather than wedges.
- Skippers who enjoy trimming
- The boat rewards being sailed. It carries sail well and accelerates when you get it right.
- Less suited to crews expecting a Cruiser
- Different designer, different hull, different feel. Not better or worse than the Cruiser line — different.
Layout & life aboard
- Beam carried aft
- The wide chined hull means the aft cabins get real width rather than tapering away.
- Bright, modern saloon
- The C-line interior is a clear step on from the Cruiser generation in light and finish.
- Deck layout options
- Bavaria offers the C-line with different cockpit and deck arrangements, so two C42s can be laid out differently.
- Worth looking at the actual photos of the boat you are booking rather than the brochure.
- Twin wheels and open transom
- Bathing platform between the helms, which is where the boat gets used at anchor.
Under sail
- Form stability from the chines
- Hull shape does the work the keel used to do. The boat stands up to its sail plan instead of heeling away from it.
- Upwind
- Good. The stiff hull lets you keep sail up longer, which is what actually makes a cruising boat point well.
- Blunt bow
- Volume forward keeps the bow up and the boat level rather than burying it when reaching hard.
- Under power
- Single engine with a saildrive. The beam makes it feel planted, but it also means more boat to stop.
Worth knowing before you book
- Do not assume it is a Cruiser
- Different hull, different designer, different handling. If someone in the crew sailed a Cruiser 41 last year, this will feel unfamiliar.
- Check the deck layout you are getting
- The C-line is offered with meaningfully different cockpit arrangements.
- Keel draft
- As always, it decides your anchorages more than your speed.
- The beam at the dock
- A wide 42-footer takes a wider berth than its length suggests, which matters in older Mediterranean harbours.

Frequently asked questions
For bareboat charter the skipper on board needs a recognised sailing license and, in most countries, a VHF certificate. If nobody in your group is licensed, book the yacht with a professional skipper.
Charter weeks normally run Saturday to Saturday, with check-in in the afternoon and check-out in the morning at the home base (Yes Marina).
Cross-border sailing is often possible with prior notice and additional paperwork. Ask us before booking so the operator can prepare the documents.
