The Bavaria Match 42, produced between 2004 and 2006, represents a departure from the manufacturer’s standard cruising line, featuring a Doug Peterson-designed hull, a seven-foot lead keel, and rod rigging.0:36 Measuring 41 feet 2 inches with a 16,300-pound displacement, the boat achieves speeds of 11.5 knots in 21 knots of wind without a spinnaker.6:30 The deck layout prioritizes sail handling with a cockpit-mounted traveler, primary winches on the coamings, and a removable full-width stern seat.4:01 Below deck, the vessel retains a three-cabin layout with a full galley, 80-gallon water capacity, and 40-gallon fuel capacity.8:29 A critical safety concern involves the keel structure; a 2005 failure in Croatia led to a mandatory reinforcement retrofit for the model.10:00 Prospective buyers must verify that this structural upgrade was performed, as the keel support and hull laminate require professional inspection by a marine surveyor or composite engineer to ensure integrity.10:39
