Sneak Preview: Bavaria C45 – comfort and speed
Feb 27, 2020
With their new midsized model, Bavaria has zeroed in on a versatile design that ticks all the boxes: family friendly, flexible, fast and fun. Alliteration aside, you can hardly ask much more of one boat than that it satisfies on so many levels. The new Bavaria C45 is an all-around boat that can hold her own in club races but will be a family favorite in the anchorage on the weekends.
The C45’s slippery hull means she’ll be a contender in club competitions but when the racing is done and it’s time for the sun worshippers to come out, the lounging cockpit turns into twin sunbeds. There are two additional double sunpad locations – one on the bow and one under the boom so guests can spread out. On a summer cruise, kids can play on the bow while adults hold a happy hour in the cockpit and everyone has a place to escape to.
Bavaria aimed at flexibility with this model so the C45 is offered with three levels of equipment and layout options called Holiday, Style and Ambition.
Moving in this new direction, Bavaria clearly targeted developing an all around design that can serve multiple uses. For those who think that all things are built for either comfort or speed – it’s time to think again.
The complete review and spec will be out soon in Canadian Yachting’s April issue
