The Yacht

Bavaria 42 Cruiser Ellinor

A three-cabin cruising yacht built for coastal passages and comfortable weeks aboard. Set up specifically for Northern Norway with heating, full enclosure and cold-weather sailing gear.

Overview

Built to sail with 4-8 people in comfort

The Bavaria 42 Cruiser is one of the most refined 42-foot cruising yachts on the water. Beamy enough for three real double cabins, light enough to sail well in 10 knots, and stable enough to handle 30 without drama. Ellinor is fitted out for private ownership standards, not fleet charter: real bedding, teak cockpit table, upgraded electronics, and no cost-saving compromises.

She's been based in Northern Norway since new, and every piece of gear has been chosen for that environment. The heater runs on diesel from the main tank and keeps the whole boat warm in under twenty minutes. The cockpit enclosure means you sail in shirt sleeves when it's five degrees outside. The instruments are the current-generation Raymarine set with radar overlay.
