Comfort ratio 25

CoastalBluewater

Capsize screening 2.07

LightHeavy

128 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 128

EasygoingPowered-up

20.8 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

TenderStiff

31% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

What the fleet has seen

The Bavaria Yachts C57, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Bavaria Yachts C57 is a 16.7-meter fractional sloop designed by Cossutti Yacht Design and built by Bavaria Yachts since 2017. It features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, a 5.3-meter beam, a 2.5-meter draft, and displaces 17,129 kg. The C57 is part of Bavaria's C-series, which emphasizes increased interior volume and performance through chined hulls and wider beams, distinguishing it from the older Cruiser line. A professional delivery crew transited a Bavaria C57 from Barcelona to Gibraltar, demonstrating its performance in Mediterranean conditions.6:17 Bavaria Yachts sales manager Claes Eliasson noted that the C-series, including the C57, drives demand among buyers prioritizing comfort and volume.2:06
