Bavaria C65 is the newest and at the same time the biggest sailing yacht built by the prestigious German Yard. They say in the brochure that this model is a perfect balance between elegant design, spacious accommodation and fast sailing. A nicely formed hull with a steep stern, a long waterline of almost 18 meters and a draft of 3.5 meters all ensure steady handling at sea. A 6.5 tons keel provides the requisite up-righting; it is engaged with the forces of the rig and hull in conjunction with a stainless steel frame and an extremely strong floor assembly. The hull is built using Bavaria’s VacuTec system and it is reinforced with additional carbon. This has the side-effect of reducing weight while maximizing rigidity.

Video and General Presentation
The following video is a walk-through made this year (2018) at Boot Dusseldorf.
There is a lounge area in front of the steering pedestals. It features two cockpit tables where one can enjoy lunch and dinner; these can be lowered and transformed into two large sunbathing areas. Alternatively, one can choose the two sunbathing areas on either side of the ladder-way if one wants to enjoy the sunshine.

In the aft section a barbecue and a wet bar are integrated into the broad bench behind the steering pedestals. This represents the culinary center of the cockpit, whether at port or at anchor.

Bavaria C65 is selling at the moment with $1,5Mil without Vat and other taxes. I think it’s a little too much for my taste, one can find something of a greater quality with under a million.
