Welcome to Cassis – the first Bavaria C38 setting its sails across the Salish Seas! The 2023 new German-built Bavaria C38 is a popular cruiser and charter boat in the Mediterranean, and it will prove to be a popular charter here as well. The overall design balances simple handling on deck and a radical state-of-the-art hull design with the highest level of comfort. No wonder it was a European finalist for Yacht of the Year. Below deck, the yacht offers three staterooms and open and spacious interior designed by one of the leading Italian marine design firms. On deck, the yacht incorporates two innovative design features that promise fast sailing and spacious comfort: the V-shaped bow and distinctive chines at the stern. Chines increase stability while heeling at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees and allow for more volume in the rear and stern of the hull. The dynamic effect of the chines creates faster water drainage from the hull. What’s more, the innovative V-Bow pushes a larger volume of water flow that keeps the bow from being pushed deeper into the water under heavier winds and increasing heel due to the larger boat volume in the stern. The result is easy steering under all weather conditions. On deck is a self-tacking jib and main sail that offer 922 square feet of sail area and in-mast furling. The twin-steering system and autopilot with remote control access from the cockpit make sailing fun and simple. Control lines and sheets lead to central companionway winches and can be operated from the spacious and extended cockpit. The fold-up teak table and enlarged cockpit area make for a great place to relax and socialize after a long day sailing.
