It is with many thanks to Ensign Ship Brokers that we were very fortunate to to be on the exceptionally new Bavaria C45 for her maiden sail off Queensland's Gold Coast.

This new craft is the first to be publicly displayed since Boot Düsseldorf, and with production at Bavaria halted for August, the only one to come out for a little while to come yet. This one is the C45 Style, which is the Owner/Driver version. There is a charter version too, as well as the cruiser/racer Ambition version, which gains a 2.8m lead bulb keel and taller rig. Full of novel ideas and great craftsmanship, she will be on display at the Sydney International Boat Show from 2-6 August, 2018, and really is worth investigating. Let's go for a sail....
