The new flagship: Bavaria 56
Contrary to what was reported in YACHT 3/13, the new Bavaria 56 still has a dinghy garage, albeit in a new form

YACHT had written that the garage, as it was still installed on the Bavaria 55, had been replaced on the new boat in favour of larger aft compartments. In fact, the aft compartments are more voluminous due to a wider stern, but a dinghy garage could still be realised.

The dinghy is 3.10 metres in size and can be stowed with an outboard motor attached. This was made possible by a trick: it is a special dinghy from which the air can be released in the front section while the aft section remains stationary. The engine mount folds forwards together with the transom - a completely new solution that allows the aft compartments to utilise the full width of the stern.

The Bavaria Cruiser 56 has its world premiere at boot Düsseldorf (19 to 27 January) and can be seen on stand 16 B 38.
