The Bavaria Match 42 represents a distinct departure from the highvolume, comfortfirst philosophy that defined the German shipyard’s Cruiser line during the early 2000s. Launched in 2004 as the flagship of the performanceoriented Match series, which included the Match 35 and 38, the 42 was Bavaria’s ambitious attempt to penetrate the competitive racercruiser market dominated by the likes of XYachts and Beneteau’s First series. Designed by the legendary naval architect Doug Peterson, the Match 42 was engineered specifically for the IMS (International Measuring System) handicap rule, featuring a deeper keel, a more slender hull form, and a significantly taller rig than its cruising cousins.
