The Bavaria Ocean 47 CC is a rare, performance-oriented cruising sloop designed by J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachtbau between 1999 and 2002. With only 25 hulls produced, this limited-run vessel offers a distinct alternative to standard production models, combining a masthead sloop rig with a fin keel for efficient sailing.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize sailing performance and a responsive helm over maximum interior volume. Its moderate displacement and balanced ratios make it well-suited for active weekend cruising and extended coastal passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 26235.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.97, the boat offers reasonable stability for coastal and nearshore passages, though its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is best suited for protected waters rather than extreme offshore expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Beneteau First 47 and the Hallberg-Rassy 47, as they share similar era, length, and a focus on performance cruising. The Ocean 47 CC distinguishes itself with its specific J&J Design hull form and lower production numbers compared to high-volume competitors.
