With the C57, Bavaria Yachts presented the new sailing yacht today at Düsseldorf Boat Show. We met designer Maurizio Cossutti: he tells us how did the german giant.
With an upwind sail area of 136 sqm, the Bavaria C57 promises pure sailing pleasure and excellent sailing characteristics. With its two rudder blades, the C57 can be kept on course with ease and at the touch of a button. Downwind, the power comes from a 232 sqm gennaker, in order to realise the full performance potential of the Bavaria C57.
Crew and guests can enjoy a day’s sailing at the cockpit table, which can be lowered if desired, turning the cockpit into a lounge area. Two additional large relaxation areas can be found on the cockpit roof and on the bow.
The design possibilities for the layout of the lower decks of the Bavaria C57 are endless.The 3-cabin is typically constructed with the owner’s cabin in the forecastle, and two guest cabins in the aft. Bavaria Yachts offers two options for equipping the C57 with four cabins.
The sails can be trimmed directly by the helmsman, using the four large winches on the steering column. The steering of the Bavaria C57 is therefore not only extremely easy but can also be managed by small crews.
The C57, like many of its competitors today, has a large flat deck design that maximizes comfort at rest. There is a tender garage built into the transom, which is large enough to house a fully inflated Williams Jet tender.
Down below there is a choice of three, four or five cabins plus there is a potential crew cabin in the forepeak.
With 88 square meters of living space, the Bavaria C57 offers a large living area. Entering the lounge via the wide ladder reminds you once again of the size of the Bavaria C57. A separate lounge area is situated on the starboard side. A large table on the port side is the perfect place for a dinner with guests. A kitchen range with an oven and sink is situated on the port side. The fridge/freezer and large work surfaces are located on the starboard.

On the starboard between the lounge and the guest cabin, there is room for another cabin with bunk beds. Alternatively, this cabin can be turned into an additional bathroom or a utility room with space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The second option is to have two large cabins in the forecastle. A 5-cabin version can easily be configured from these many variations. Another crew cabin can be added in the bow on request.
