The Bavaria Cruiser 40 S represents a specialized performanceoriented evolution of the popular Cruiser 40, stemming from the prolific partnership between Bavaria Yachts and Farr Yacht Design. While the standard Cruiser 40 was targeted squarely at the family cruising and charter markets, the "S" (Sport) variant was engineered to bridge the gap between comfortable coastal cruising and clublevel racing. Launched in 2011, this model utilized the same robust hull mold as its more sedate sibling but incorporated significant rig and keel upgrades intended to sharpen its sailing edge without sacrificing the interior volume for which the Giebelstadt yard is known. The 40 S was essentially a factorytuned version, offering a deeper lead Tkeel and a taller, more sophisticated sail plan to appeal to sailors who demand higher pointing ability and better lightair response.
