Preparing for the summer season

Together with our partner shop SVB we're talking about which imporant details you should pay attention to when preparing your boat for the summer season ahead. 

Spring check

The first trip of the year is always special. It is a good idea to prepare for it with a small checklist so that you can enjoy your time on board to the fullest from the very first day.

The work starts already a few weeks before the crane booking or from when you receive the boat from the yard: is your motorboat and sailing clothing in good condition? What is the situation with the life jackets? Above all, the batteries for the personal locator beacons or radios in the life jackets should be checked before every water sport season. If complete servicing of life jackets is necessary, you can simply send them to SVB for servicing. Life rafts can also be inspected there.   ✔  Personal equipment ✔  Nautical charts for the season ✔  Clothing suitable for water sports with UV protection

Tips for everyone who wants to enjoy the season carefree.

For a carefree season start on your BAVARIA yacht, it is worth drawing up a short list of spare parts before the start of the season. This list should include, along with order numbers, the descriptions and sizes of all filters and other consumables on board. While original spare parts are delivered quickly via the SVB shop, it's always a good idea to have spares at hand. During the season, this stock on board can be topped up again after a holiday without needing to wait in a harbour for a package.

Preparations after winter storage, step by step

1. organising the crane yourself.

The spring check starts in the boat before the crane booking. If repairs are necessary, they are mostly easier on land. For this purpose, inspect the boat from bow to stern and make a note of everything you notice. Particular attention should be given to parts that are subjected to heavy loads, for example the boarding rail brackets. If they are bent, replacement is worthwhile not only for the appearance: hairline cracks in the bends often weaken the brackets!

For sailing yachts, a careful visual inspection of the rigging forms an essential part of the preparation. Once the mast is erected on deck, repairs will be significantly more difficult: are all fittings correctly fastened? Are there signs of hairline cracks or wear? The more carefully you undertake this check, the more relaxed you will be when the wind gets up at sea. You can order all the spare parts for the rigging online in the BAVARIA shop run by our partner SVB. By the way, there should always be a few spare shackles and turnbuckle replacements on board.   ✔  Visual inspection of fittings and mast ✔  Do all halyards run freely, are the lines coiled up? ✔  Damage to halyards? ✔  Fit antenna and dogvane ✔  Enough spare parts available?

Checking running and standing rigging...

as well as fittings before the season.

Once all repair work has been undertaken, the engine is checked: impellers should be replaced once per season, diesel filters should also be renewed and, of course, the oil level, cooling water level and tension on the V‐belt must be correct. A look in the tank with a torch will show whether bacterial sludge has formed in the diesel during the winter. If slimy lumps are to be seen, the tank must be completely drained and cleaned. Even on the short journey from the crane to the mooring, bacterial contamination can cause engine failure. The first day on board then ends unnecessarily hectically with the loss of power somewhere in the harbour basin.   ✔  Batteries charged? ✔  Oil level ✔  Replace filter and impeller ✔  Tank inspection ✔  Open cooling water sea cock

Crane operations

Immediately before the BAVARIA yacht is moved to the crane, all sea water cocks should be closed, except for the engine cooling water. For lifting with the crane, fasten two long lines to the bow and stern and use them to control the movement of the boat; then briefly moor the boat using these lines while fitting the mast to the deck.

Once in the water, make a quick check for water entering the boat. Pay particular attention to the cooling water pipe on the engine. Then you can untie the lines for the first journey of the season and drive the boat to the mooring.

Crane operations are always exciting. Enjoy a moment there with the lapping water, slight roll and the seagulls before continuing with the rigging and making the boat ready for sea.

Before craning into the water, do not forget...

fenders and mooring lines.

Ready for sea in an afternoon

On the way to the mooring, the engine has automatically had its first function check. A further look at the engine is now worthwhile.   ✔  Are there drips anywhere? ✔  Are the filters still tight? ✔  Open all other sea cocks and check hoses ✔  Function check on WC and wash basin

Sailing yachts - trimming mast

While the crane team erects the mast, they will not trim it. The work at the mooring mostly starts with evenly tensioning all shrouds and stays, and obtaining a slight curvature aft using the backstay.

It is also necessary to make the cable connections at the base of the mast. Radio antenna, anemometer, lighting. The cables are routed through the cable conduit below deck and simply connected to the corresponding mating connectors.

Then the sails are rigged. Here, particular attention must be paid to the pulleys on the forestay and in the mast on your BAVARIA. If they run smoothly and there are signs of wear on the lines or sheet ropes, maintenance or replacement is necessary. The SVB shop offers a wide range of halyards and sheet ropes for BAVARIA yachts.

At the end of the day with the crane, undertake a functional check on the electronics and any other equipment; then it is time for the first sundowner of the season in the cockpit.

Check the sails and the furling system…

and then enjoy the first cruise of the season.

2. Have the yard organise the craning process and receiving your BAVARIA yacht at the jetty

Of course, all these steps can be undertaken by specialized companies, they are usually also included in the package booked with a winter storage yard. In this situation, the boat should be lying rigged at the jetty almost ready to go on your first visit and invite you to set sail. Nevertheless, it is worth spending half a day checking the work of the professionals: is the mast correctly trimmed, has the oil been topped up? Are the reef lines laid correctly? This acceptance check does not take long, but could save you unpleasant surprises later.

No yard will check your personal equipment: is the on‐board first‐aid kit complete? Is other safety equipment in order or is it necessary to replace life‐saving equipment, horns or the lifeline on the stern? What about an emergency bag with sail tape and tools? 

During the first evening on board, it is also worth considering as to whether you would like to install additional amenities in the upcoming season. In the BAVARIA shop , SVB offers not only original spare parts, but also many other articles related to water sport: from sea sacks to dinghies to hygiene products for using the on‐board shower while anchored.

Bavaria Yachts’ C42 – New in every sense

• Advertorial

It’s Bavaria Yachts’ big comeback boat in more ways than one. Launched at the recent Düsseldorf Boat Show, the Bavaria C42 is the first new sailing yacht brought to market under the shipyard’s new management, following a change of ownership. Not only that, but it signals a significant shift in Bavaria’s yacht building strategy: a definite and deliberate move away from the rather sedate family cruisers of the previous generation, which were aimed primarily at novice sailors, towards a new and more broadly appealing range of boats.

They’ll still be spacious, high-volume cruisers designed for easy handling but the Bavaria C42 makes it clear that the new generation of Bavarias will be more rewarding to sail with bigger, higher aspect sailplans, better ballast ratios, sharper handling under sail and more performance potential.

One thing that hasn’t changed is the design team: Maurizio Cossutti and Alessandro Ganz are best known for their IRC/ORC racers but since 2015 the highly regarded duo have overseen a subtle design evolution at Bavaria Yachts with a gradually increasing emphasis on sailing performance in the three models leading up to the Bavaria C42. ‘The yard’s request was to retain the main design features of the C57, C50 and C45,’ Maurizio Cossutti explains, ‘but at the same time to impart a clear, precise sign of the change in direction and mindset.’

Cossutti Yacht Design has earned a reputation for designing hulls that are elegant as well as easily driven and this one is no exception. At first glance the Bavaria C42 is a goodlooking yacht with an attractive sheerline, an elegant silhouette, some race-derived design features and a sleeker, generally more angular appearance than previous models. That said, the brand’s identity has been carefully preserved and despite the Italian-accented style of the hull shape and deck layout, it’s unmistakably a Bavaria.

Hard chines make berths bigger Perhaps the most obvious of this yacht’s key features – especially for those who know the brand well – are the prominent hard chines running back from amidships to the aft quarters of the hull, just above the waterline. It’s the first time Bavaria has ever produced a sailing yacht with a chined hull.

Some yachts’ chines are mainly cosmetic but as Cossutti and Pascal Kuhn, Bavaria’s product manager for the Bavaria C42, are both keen to point out, on this boat they serve several functions. ‘We’ve developed the Bavaria way of doing chines,’ Kuhn says, explaining that they give the hull a significant amount of additional form stability while creating useful extra living space, or stowage space, inside. ‘And it’s the Italian way of doing chines,’ says Alessandro Ganz. ‘We’ve saved a lot of wetted area and of course we care about the aesthetics too.’ The positioning of chines on a cruising yacht’s hull has to be extremely precise, Cossutti explains, much more so than on a racing yacht hull where higher boat speed allows a greater margin of error.

‘The position is crucial, otherwise negative effects can occur.’ The extra form stability of the chines comes into effect at a heel angle of 15 to 20 degrees and the hull’s waterline length also extends, improving the yacht’s boat speed when sailing upwind. ‘When designing the underwater hull, you can also use the dynamic effect of the chines for faster water drainage on the hull,’ Cossutti says.

The other big benefit of these boxy aft sections becomes clear when you look into one of the aft cabins: where most yachts have a tapered double berth due to the curvature of the hull, the C42’s aft cabins have straight full-size doubles: 1.6m wide all the way from head to foot.

At the aft end of the hull, another innovation – Kuhn’s idea this time – has added about half a metre of extra length to the saloon. In most cruising yachts the aft end of the accommodation is curtailed by the steering system, which occupies the last few feet of the hull and requires a bit of elbow room around it for maintenance and repair. On the Bavaria C42, it’s neatly slotted into a shallow recess under the aft end of the cockpit, allowing the aft cabins to be shunted further aft, but easily accessible from above simply by lifting a panel in the cockpit sole between the twin wheels. It’s a great solution, easier to inspect and maintain than the usual setup.

Benefits of a bulbous bow The other obvious design feature of the C42’s hull – which sets it apart not only from the other Cossutti-designed C-Line models but also from nearly all the other new boats at Düsseldorf – is a bow profile that flares out from a narrow vee at the waterline to a rounded, high-volume section at deck level. It’s a Cossuttiand- Ganz innovation derived from recent offshore racing yacht designs, with great potential for production boats. ‘Most modern yachts have a very wide stern and a lot of volume in the aft sections of the hull,’ Cossutti explains. ‘When the angle of heel increases, the hull gets out of balance. The stern comes further out of the water and the bow is pushed further into the water. As a result the pressure on the rudder increases. A vee-shaped bow with more volume, which we call the C42 Bavaria V-Bow, compensates for this effect and the boat is easier to steer. However, it was important for us to keep the bow narrow at the waterline so that the dive into the wave is not too hard when the boat is sailing upright.’

As with the chines, the new bow profile produced unexpected benefits for Kuhn’s in-house team who were designing the yacht’s interior. Thanks to its bulbous bow, the Bavaria C42 has a huge full-depth sail locker that can easily swallow a crossover sail, a gennaker and a full set of fenders and dock lines, with a separate compartment for the anchor windlass and chain. The other big benefit is the extra space in the fore cabin, which has to be seen to be believed. ‘We were able to expand the double berth to a width of 1.8m and a length of 2.3m,’ Kuhn says. ‘And we’ve got full headroom throughout the cabin and plenty of large lockers.’

Bigger sails, better balance Another notable feature of the C42 s the height and position of the twin-spreader, deck-stepped mast. It’s extremely tall and stepped further aft than you might expect. The extra height allows more sail power and compensates for the loss of roach – as Kuhn explains, most buyers are expected to opt for in-mast furling mainsails. ‘When you get to 42ft long, slab furling starts to be hard work,’ Cossutti says. The difference in performance is minimal: ‘With vertical battens providing a moderate roach, you will have only five per cent less power. And in 10kts of wind, the self-tacking jib will give the same performance as the 110% genoa with a narrower sheeting angle, too.’

Technical specs LOA 12.4m LOD 11.99m LWL 11.27m Beam 4.3m Draught 2.1m or 1.7m Displacement 9,750kg Keel bulb weight 2,700kg or 3,010kg Mast height above WL 21.1m Upwind sail area 100.6m2 Mainsail 52.8m2 Self-tacking jib 46.8m2 110% genoa 46.8m2

Moving the mast step aft is more to do with handling, Ganz explains: ‘We always take great care to achieve the best possible balance.’ With the mast stepped aft, the headsail and mainsail of the C42 are roughly the same size and deliver similar amounts of power, resulting in a nicely balanced sail plan.

Self tacking jibs are typically small, but a large one actually makes a lot of sense. Not having to haul the sheets of a powerful genoa in and out with every tack is a definite benefit and the self-tacking option makes the yacht much more nimble. ‘If you are sailing somewhere like Sweden where there are lots of rocks you need to be able to tack very quickly,’ Cossutti says. The self-tacker is fitted as standard and in another nod to performance, the standard spec also includes a backstay tensioner.

Meanwhile, back in Giebelstadt, the next new model in Bavaria’s comeback range is already taking shape – shrouded in secrecy, of course – but with a host of new features and design ideas, the C42 is a taste of things to come.

The Splendor of Traditional Bavarian Clothing

Traditional Bavarian clothing holds a vital place in the cultural identity of Bavaria, Germany. It serves as a reflection of the region’s rich history, customs, and traditions. When people envision Bavaria, it is often images of men wearing Lederhosen and women adorned in Dirndls that come to mind. In this article, we will explore the captivating world of traditional Bavarian clothing, its significance, and the timeless charm it brings to festivals like Oktoberfest.

The Significance of Traditional Bavarian Clothing

Traditional Bavarian clothing is not just about fashion; it carries immense cultural significance. It serves as a symbol of regional pride and identity, fostering a sense of community among Bavarians. Wearing these traditional garments allows individuals to connect with their heritage and the deep-rooted traditions passed down through generations.

Evolution of Traditional Bavarian Clothing

The roots of traditional Bavarian clothing can be traced back to the practical attire worn by farmers, shepherds, and hunters. These garments were designed to be durable and suitable for outdoor work. Over time, they became an integral part of Bavarian culture, reflecting the daily lives and occupations of the people. As Bavarian clothing gained popularity, it also drew inspiration from the fashion preferences of Bavarian royalty. The influence of the nobility transformed the garments into symbols of opulence and refinement.

Men’s Traditional Bavarian Attire: Lederhosen

Lederhosen , the iconic leather breeches, have become synonymous with Bavarian culture. These traditional garments hold a special place in the hearts of men and are deeply connected to their heritage. Lederhosen were initially designed to withstand the demands of outdoor work, making them practical attire for farmers, laborers, and hunters. Today, they have evolved into a symbol of Bavarian tradition and are often associated with Oktoberfest and other cultural events.

Design and Features of Lederhosen

Materials and construction.

Lederhosen are crafted from high-quality leather renowned for its durability and ability to withstand rugged outdoor activities. The leather is often sourced from animals such as deer or goats, providing a soft and supple texture. The construction of Lederhosen involves precise stitching, reinforced seams, and secure buttons or hooks to ensure longevity.

Classic Bavarian Elements

The traditional design of men’s Lederhosen incorporates several key elements that enhance their masculine appeal. These include:

• Breeches: Lederhosen feature knee-length breeches, allowing for ease of movement while maintaining a rugged and authentic look.
• Suspenders: Suspenders, or “Hosenträger,” are an integral part of Lederhosen. They not only provide practical support but also contribute to the distinctive aesthetic, adding a touch of charm and functionality.
• Decorative Embroidery: Many Lederhosen feature intricate embroidery along the front bib or on the side panels, showcasing traditional motifs such as edelweiss flowers, Alpine scenery, or regional symbols. This embroidery adds a decorative element while paying homage to the rich cultural heritage.

Traditional Lederhosen Styles

• Knee-Length Lederhosen: The knee-length lederhosen, known as “Kniebundhosen,” features a length that reaches just below the knee. It is accompanied by suspenders, intricate embroidery, and decorative buttons.
• Short Lederhosen: The short lederhosen, also called “Plattler”

Short Lederhosen: The Definition of Bavarian Leisure

The Short Lederhosen , also called “Plattler,” is a popular style commonly associated with leisure activities and festive occasions. It consists of leather shorts that reach mid-thigh, suspenders, and intricate embroidery. This style exudes a relaxed and casual charm, perfect for social gatherings and traditional Bavarian festivals like Oktoberfest.

Styling Options

Shirt selection.

Choosing the right shirt to complement Lederhosen is essential in creating a cohesive and stylish look. Traditional options include checkered or plaid shirts, often in earthy tones such as green, red, or blue. These shirts provide a rustic and masculine vibe, perfectly complementing the rugged appeal of the Lederhosen. However, for a modern twist, solid-colored shirts or collared shirts with subtle patterns can be worn to add a contemporary touch.

Footwear and Accessories

Selecting suitable footwear and accessories is crucial to complete the Lederhosen ensemble. Traditional footwear options include sturdy boots, often made of suede or leather, providing a rugged yet refined appearance. Woolen socks are worn to provide warmth and comfort. Additionally, a traditional Bavarian hat, such as a feathered Tyrolean hat or a Bavarian fedora, can be worn to add a distinctive flair. Accessories like belts, pocket watches, and other traditional Bavarian accents can be incorporated to enhance the overall look and showcase a personal style.

Lederhosen for Women: Embracing Bavarian Tradition with Style

Lederhosen, the traditional leather breeches, are often associated with Bavarian culture and Oktoberfest. While traditionally worn by men, Lederhosen have also become increasingly popular among women who want to embrace Bavarian tradition with style. In this article, we will explore the world of Lederhosen for women, discussing their history, design, styling options, and the unique charm they bring to festivals and cultural events.

The Evolution of Women’s Lederhosen

Breaking gender norms.

Historically, Lederhosen were primarily worn by men for practical purposes, such as working in the fields and engaging in outdoor activities. However, as societal norms evolved, women began to break gender barriers, adopting elements of men’s fashion, including Lederhosen. This adaptation allowed women to participate in Bavarian traditions and festivities on equal footing with men.

Feminine Touches

Women’s Lederhosen have undergone modifications to accommodate the female form while retaining the essence of the traditional garment. Modern designs feature a more tailored fit, accentuating the waistline and adding feminine touches such as decorative embroidery, colorful trims, and playful details.

Design and Features

Shorter length.

Women’s Lederhosen are often shorter in length compared to men’s. They typically reach mid-thigh or just above the knee, allowing for a more feminine and contemporary look. The shorter length provides freedom of movement and a touch of modernity to the traditional garment.

Tailored Fit

Women’s Lederhosen are designed to flatter the female silhouette. They feature a more tailored fit around the hips and waist, enhancing the feminine curves. This tailored approach creates a stylish and sophisticated appearance while maintaining the rustic charm of traditional attire.

Embroidery and Accents

Embellishments play a significant role in women’s Lederhosen. Intricate embroidery, colorful stitching, and decorative buttons add a touch of elegance and femininity. These embellishments are often inspired by traditional motifs, floral patterns, or regional symbols, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Bavaria.

Blouse Selection

Pairing Lederhosen with the right blouse is essential to create a balanced and harmonious look. Traditional options include white, ruffled blouses with puffed sleeves. These blouses complement the rustic charm of the Lederhosen and provide a classic Bavarian aesthetic. However, modern interpretations allow for more diverse blouse choices, including fitted shirts, off-the-shoulder tops, or even crop tops, allowing women to express their personal style while staying true to the essence of the ensemble.
