Bavaria 40 Vision
|
The Vision series from Bavaria,
including the 40, the 44, and a 50,
is a step up in price and comforts
from Bavaria's popular Cruiser
series.
Performances and handling
The Vision boats boast stylish deck
saloon-type cabin windows and a
curved cabin top that flows smoothly
into the uncluttered foredeck. The
roomy cockpit has a solid, fixed
table for entertaining, while the
serious sailing is done aft at
either of two helm stations.
Accommodation
Below on the Vision 40, side and forward ports make for
a light and airy saloon. Forward of the two aft cabins,
there's a head and shower to starboard and an efficient
L-shaped galley to port. Just ahead of the galley is a
U-shaped settee and table, with another settee to
starboard. The forward cabin has a island-queen berth
with seats on each side and two hanging lockers.
Charter price
Intended as a model competitive with
offerings from Jeanneau |

and Beneteau, the Vision 40 is priced toward
the upper end of the market. Given that, I would've
expected a bit more attention to joinery and finish, a
challenge, perhaps, given the company's high-volume
production lines. Still, a cruising couple will find a
stiff, responsive sailer in the Vision 40 with a sail
plan that's easily tamed.
