The Bavaria Yachts 40 (J&J) is a 12.5-meter fractional sloop designed by J&J Yacht Design and built by Bavaria Yachts, popular in the charter trade. Its fin keel with bulb hull displaces 7901 kg. Aboard *Patrick Laine*, a solo sailor completed a 250-nautical-mile navigation challenge from Rockall to Suliskirr in the Outer Hebrides, then south to Dún Laoghaire Marina, managing genoa sheet chafing with electrical tape and timing tides through the North Channel.8:27 The boat's full-battened mainsail requires raising the boom 30 centimeters with the topping lift to ease hoisting.1:00 In 25 to 30 knots of wind, dropping the mainsail and running with a partially furled genoa provides stability, and in gales exceeding 35 knots, running deep downwind with minimal headsail prevents rounding up.15:56 The Bay of Biscay's abrupt continental shelf depth changes present navigational challenges.11:25 Equipment failures on the Bavaria Yachts 40 (J&J) have included a corroded Lewmar electric windlass motor, a failed folding solar panel, and corroded Volvo Penta engine mounts.6:50 For light air, a Code Zero or cruising chute is more versatile than a gennaker.26:23
