2005 Bavaria 42 cruiser

**VAT paid and never chartered.**

Recently hauled out for a professional hull survey, which found no issues. Engine and sterndrive serviced, plus new antifouling paint and propeller anodes.

**Layout:** Owner’s version with 3 double cabins and 2 bathrooms.
**Engine:** Volvo Penta D2 55 (only 1,600 hours). The engine is in superb condition, with very few hours for its age.
**Sails:** In-mast furling mainsail, 150% genoa (new UV strips added in 2019), asymmetric spinnaker (lightly used). All in good to excellent condition.
**Deck:** Fully teak deck and cockpit (needs new caulking in a few areas).
**Instruments:** Raymarine c70 plotter system installed, with wind and depth sensors, and includes radar.
**Ground tackle:** Lofrans windlass (12V) (new 2021) with 50m of chain and a 16kg Delta anchor. The lower rudder bearing was replaced in 2021, giving super smooth and easy steering. 6 new fenders with covers (2021).

**Heads:**

– Head 1: separate shower and electric flush toilet (added 2019, plus spares), with black water tank.
– Head 2: en-suite to the owner’s cabin with integrated shower (manual flush).
– Seacocks and through-hulls replaced on both heads in 2021.

**Antifouling:** New in 2026.

**Power:**

– 2 x 100A solar panels with new MPPT solar controller (2019)
– 1 x 100A wind turbine (needs some love/lubrication)
– 3 x 100Ah AGM house batteries (2019)
– 1 x new lead-acid battery (2023)
– 2 fridges, each with new digital thermometers installed (2021)

**Other systems:**

– Webasto forced-air heating, lightly used
– New bilge pump (2020)

**Tender:** 2.3m Zodiac tender with working Selva 5HP outboard.

This is a fine example of a very well-built cruising sailboat, with many features you often won’t find at this price.
