About the BAVARIA CRUISER 41
Draft standard cast iron keel (approx.): 2.05m/6.72' Draft option cast iron shallow keel: 1.65m/5.41' Similar to BAVARIA CRUISER 40.
The Bavaria Cruiser 41 is a modern cruising yacht designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by Bavaria, with production records indicating a 2012 build year. As a fractional sloop with a displacement of 19136.0 lb, it offers a balance of performance and comfort, though specific total hull counts are not definitively established in the source data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, well-equipped liveaboard or weekend cruiser, particularly owners who value modern electronics and reliable engine options like Yanmar or Volvo Penta.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 19136.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.95, the boat is capable of coastal and nearshore passages, but its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is not optimized for heavy, extended bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- It compares favorably to other mid-2010s European production cruisers such as the Beneteau Oceanis 40.1 or Dufour 410, sharing similar fractional sloop rigs and focus on interior volume over extreme bluewater ruggedness.
