Introduction

This manual will help you to handle your yacht safely and with pleasure. Apart from information
about the yacht itself and installed or additionally supplied fittings the manual also contains
information on operation and maintenance. Please familiarise yourself with everything before you
go on your first voyage.

If this is your first yacht or if you are not really familiar with the special characteristics of a motor
yacht please make sure you get proper training before you put it into operation. Do not hesitate to
contact the dealer or our shipyard for information about further training possibilities.

As the scope of supply depends on the order, the equipment of your yacht can deviate with some
descriptions and illustrations. In order to be able to adapt our yachts to the constantly progressing
technical standard, we must reserve ourselves changes in form, equipment and technology. For
these reasons no requirements can be derived from all data, illustrations and descriptions in this
manual.

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE

AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU SELL THE YACHT.

BAVARIA would like to welcome you to the circle of BAVARIA owners and would like to thank

you for placing your confidence in our products by acquiring this yacht.

Your contract partner and the management and staff of Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH hope you will
enjoy your new yacht.

Bon voyage, fair winds and fine weather.

Category of design

Following the European Recreational Craft Directive each boat has to be classified according to a
category of design.

All sailing yachts of BAVARIA belong to the category of design A,

Ocean: designed for extended voyages where conditions may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort scale)
and significant wave heights of 4m and above, and vessels largely self-sufficient.

Certification

For yachts with a length of more than 12m hull length the EC-Directive intends the certification
module B (EC type-examination).

IMCI (International Marine Certification Institute) from Bruxelles was put into charge as a
notified body (see: Declaration of Conformity).

Identification

The hull identification was formed into the transom on starboard side. This is a unique sequence of
digits and letters.

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

Builder’s plate

The builder’s plate on the front wall of the cockpit is a demand of the
Directive because certain information are required which will be explained
in the following.

Explanations

- Category of design A : Ocean

- Max. =10 : Maximum number of persons recommended by the

manufacturer if the yacht is situated in the sea area
corresponding to the category of design. The number of crew
can be increased under consideration of the maximum
additional loading capacity if the yacht is on a voyage in non­ocean areas.

-Max + = 1400 kg : Maximum additional loading including 10 persons, stores,

provisions and personal equipment (excluding tank capacities).

- CE 0609 : CE marking which indicates the conformity of the yacht with

all provisions of the Directive. The sequence of digits is the
code number of the certifying body, in this case the IMCI
(International Marine Certification Institute), Brussels (see:
Declaration of Conformity).

Warnings

Many chapters of this manual will support a troublefree operation, maintenance or draw your
attention to signs of dangers. To find them more easily they are especially marked (in boxes or in
bold). We advise you to study them carefully although the experienced skipper might be quite
familiar with many of them.
The following chapters contain such warnings/notes or other important information for operating
the yacht.

Always consider the maritime duty to exercise diligence!

Danger

Means that an extreme real hazard which will lead to the death or too irreparable
injuries with great probability exists if no adequate precautions are found.

Warning

Means that a hazard which can lead to injuries or death exists if no adequate
precautions are found.

Caution

Means that a memory of safety measures or the attention judges on handling, which
can be unsure or lead to personal injuries or to harm of the vessel or from
components.

2. Installations and circuits

2.1 Tanks and piping – water

2.1.1 Fresh water, drinking water –cold

The yacht has two water tanks with a capacity of altogether about 360 l. Fresh water is supplied via
a water inlet (with a blue cover) at the transom, port side and on the forecastle near the chain
locker. You can take water from the tank over a hose connection leading to the pressure water­pump.

This pump, realising the complete cold water circulation, is fitted below the pantry. An interruption
of the operation of the pressure pump is done by cutting off all ducts. All pipes/hoses should be
checked for leaks if the pump continuous working though all ducts were cut off properly.
The pump is protected by a filter which should be regularly checked and cleaned if necessary.

2.2 Tanks and pipes – fuel
Storage tank

There is a 210 l plastic diesel tank with an inspection opening on starboard-side below the aft
berths. It is filled via a fuel inlet with a chrome cover (marked with DIESEL) at the transom of the
yacht. The tank pickup is situated on the tank. The supply is made of a fire-proof fuel hose
according to ISO 7840. The vent line is led to above deck.

Supply of the engine

The engine is supplied via a suction pipe from the upper edge of the tank. Due to the short distance
a fire proof fuel pipe is used throughout. This is led via a wide-meshed filter/ water separator, fuel
pump and fine filter to the engine and then back to the tank.

Attention

A trouble free operation of the engine and heating is only possible, if the fuel is

clean. That’s why a regular inspection and cleaning of filter/water separator is

unavoidable.
The fuel tank should be completely emptied and cleaned once a year.

Warning
When refilling the tank:

- Switch off the engine, heating and stove!

- Do not smoke or use open lights!

2.3 Steering gear

2.3.1 Description of the system

The rudder is a suspended, balanced hydrofoil mid ship rudder. It is operated by hand from the
steering wheels at the steering posts in the cockpit. Transmission of power is realised by means of
rope pulls and fairleads to the rudder quadrant. With the autopilot (option) there is an electric motor
installed.

2.3.2 Rudder blade and rudder bearings

The rudder blade is a profiled one. It consists of a FRP-body. The rudder post with a diameter of
60mm is made of a sea-water resistant aluminium alloy and is laminated into the blade. The post
runs in two easy-going and special rudder bearings. The rudder is fixed by a mounting clip at the
upper end of the post that also serves for the keeping of the rudder tiller.
The mounting clip is additionally secured with a straight stud bolt on the rudder post.

The rudder bearings used by BAVARIA YACHTBAU are self-setting
bearings. Since rudder bearings are subject to wear and tear they should be
inspected and maintained regularly.

Emergency tiller

The emergency tiller is stored in the starboard locker seat.
In case of emergency remove the steering wheel, the rudder quadrant for rudder
bar and/or the quadrant for the auto pilot (option). Moreover the rudder head­cover has to be removed and the emergency tiller to be mounted and secured.

Attention

Check regularly and repair if necessary:
Tight hold of the mounting clip on the rudder post.

Attention

Please ensure a suitable bearing lubrication of the
necessary parts of the rudder installation with water­proof lubricants (or Teflon). Bearing clearance has to be
avoided and can be adjusted at the top bearing.

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

21 of 43

You can brake or even fix the steering wheels by turning a screw home. Make always sure that this
brake is not drawn especially when sailing with the auto pilot. This would mean an overload for the
electric motor. The socket of the steering gear is integrated into the deck’s form. On the socket
there is the casing of the wheel hub. A chain is laid over a tooth-wheel of the hub. Both chain pulls
are running to the rudder gear which passes the adjusting force by the rudder bar to the rudder
quadrant. Both chains are tightened each with a rope pull. It is highly recommendable to check
these rope pulls from time to time and to retighten if necessary.

2.4. Bilge pumps, bilge lines

The chain locker is made watertight against the yacht. It is self-bailing through two holes in the
skin.
All BAVARIA yachts have got a self-bailing cockpit, too. The drain wells are situated at the rear
and lowest part of the cockpit and are led outboard through the transom with hoses.

2.4.1 Description of the pumping arrangement

The yacht is equipped with both a manual pump and an electric bilge pump. The main line bilge
suction has a capacity of 75 l/min.

A draw bucket is an ideal means for bailing out water.
It should be ready in a cockpit seat locker at any time.

Components of the bilge pumping installation: see drawing 2.1.3

2.5 The electric installation

2.5.1 The AC-installation

The yacht has got a shore connection (option) by which it can be supplied with electric power from
ashore when being berthed in a port. The plug box (meeting the CEE-norm) is installed at the
transom of the yacht. The power is supplied into a shore connection unit, placed under the chart
table.
The plug box is operational as soon as the shore supply cable has been plugged in. It only serves
the operation of electric machines.

2.5.2 The DC–board net

All electric devices aboard are supplied with the 12 V DC. A main-switch is installed in he electric
panel at the chart table. Power distribution is effected by a switchboard above the chart table. The
lettering next to each switch refers to the corresponding consumer.

Attention

Close all sea valves if you leave your yacht for a longer period. Valves being
not clearly visible, like e.g. in the toilet room, should only be opened before
use and closed short after.

Warning

In a serious situation, e.g. in case of a heavy inrush of water as a consequence
of a collision, the pumping capacity might not be sufficient. Take measures for
damage control with collision mats or other suitable means.

Note

In case of spherical valves a transverse lever-direction indicates: CLOSED
and a longitudinal ones means : OPEN

Maintenance note

The tightness of ducts should be inspected regularly.
Retighten all hose clips and the stuffing boxes of valves

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

You can find all the switches for the 12 V consumers at the switchboard. By this you can operate
different consumer-groups, being marked with logos or lettering, separately. Some of the switches
are designed for an installation of additional electric devices. There are only automatic fuses used.
So you only have to press them in case of a breakdown. If a fuse blows repeatedly you should spot
the cause or consult a specialist (electrician).

2.5.3 Operating the installation and specific features

The combination of an AC- with a DC installation offers a clearly higher comfort but requires some
special knowledge.

Charging the batteries

All batteries are maintenance–poor and drain-protected. They are charged via a buffer diode by the
motor-generator. Charging the starter battery always takes priority to ensure a safe start of the
engine.

AC–consumers

The only fixed link is the one to the battery charger. The safety contact plug-box at the electric
panel is designed for electric tools to be used for small repair work.

DC–consumers

The essential consumers are:

- navigation lights bilge pumps

- engine displays tank display

- VHF-radio wiring (option) electronic devices

- devices for comfort

Navigation lights have absolute priority. In case of a lack of capacity first all other consumers have
to be switched off. By a stand-by operation of the engine, even when under sail, the batteries can be
brought up rather quickly. After a while you can switch on the other consumers again.

2.5.4 Important warnings on the DC-installation

Attention

You should never

- work at the electric installation if it is in operation,

- alter fuses or overload switches,

- change the electric wiring and/or wiring plans; this has to be done by

specialists only,

- install electric devices or add parts that exceed the allowed load limit,

- leave the yacht unattended with the electric installation in operation. This

does not go for automatic bilge pumps, fire protection and –alarm devices.

- As long as the diesel engine is in operation, you must not disconnect the 12 V

charging circuit.

Before starting a voyage you should always check

- the battery voltage,

- the correct function of navigation lights .
Have spare lamps for all navigation lights aboard.

Warning

- To avoid freezing also maintenance-free batteries have to be recharged in

winter if their capacity becomes less than 50%.

- Once a year all contacts should be checked and protected with a special spray.

- Familiarise yourself with the electric installation in due time to be able to react

properly in case of disturbances.

- If a device should fail, check first if it is defective.

2.5.5 Important warnings on the AC-installation

Attention

- the electric wiring of the yacht and/or corresponding wiring plans must not be

changed.

- Service and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified specialist.

Warning

To avoid the danger of a rush of current or fire:

- The shore connection cable must never hang into water.

- Plug the shore connection cable first aboard and then ashore.

- Do not alter plugs of shore connection cables
Disconnecting the shore connection cable:

- First disconnect the shore connection cable ashore and then aboard.

2.6 L.P.G. installation

The gas installation for the stove meets the European norm EN 10239. Attached please find the
test-certificate.

The gas pipe leading to the stove from the standard 3 kg–gas cylinder is an 8mm copper pipe. It is
placed into a self-bailing casing moulded into the deck in the rear cockpit area. All gas pipes have
been installed according to the German safety regulations. The best-by date for the soft connection
hoses between the gas cylinder and the copper pipe and between copper pipe and stove is printed
onto the hoses. They have to be replaced after the expiry date.

The reducing valve in the gas cylinder casing has a service pressure of 30 mbar. The flow rate is 1
kg/h.

2.6.2 Operation

Gas installations require care. That’s why you should follow this sequence:

Attention:

- Do not use liquids containing ammonia for checking the pipe.

- Never handle with open light and do not smoke if you look for leakage or

if you connect a new gas cylinder.

And here is some more advice on how to prevent difficulties with the gas installation:

- Close all gas valves if the stove is not in use. In a case of emergency you should close the

valves immediately.

- The stove valves have to be closed before the gas cylinder valve is opened.

- Check the L.P.G. installation for possible leakages regularly. Check all connections with soap

suds or the like (for doing so the stove valves have to be closed – all other valves of the
installation have to be open).

- If you find any leakages close all valves and have the installation repaired by a specialist before

further use.

- Since the flames consume oxygen a proper airing and de-aeration is necessary. Do not use the

stove for heating the cabin.

- Valves of empty gas cylinders have to be closed and disconnected from the installation. Have

the covers ready.

- Do not use the gas cylinder casing for storing other equipment.

- Never leave your yacht unattended if the stove is in use.

- Check the hose pipes at least once a year. Have them replaced if necessary.

- If you install a new stove make sure that is has got the same working pressure.

- Check the exhaust gas pipes at least once a year. Replace them if they a defective.

Attention

- Open the stop valve in the gas cylinder casing

- Open the valve before the stove

- Open a stove valve and lighten the gas

- Keep the valve open until the glow timer allows further burning.

Attention

For finishing follow the same (above mentioned) sequence from the valve in the
gas cylinder casing to the stove valve to allow all gas in the piping to escape
and burn.

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

2.7 Fire protection

When building the yacht special attention was paid to avoid the risks of fire. This includes the
choice of materials, the distance of stove flames to the surrounding built-in furniture and an island
position of the engine. The engine room has got a lining with fire resistant insulating material.

As the owner of the yacht you should keep this state and pay attention to the following advice:

Furthermore you and your crew can support fire protection if you follow the following advice:

The well-known sources of danger on board are

- the stove in the pantry and

- the engine room.

If, despite all precautionary measures, a fire should break out aboard, there are four fire
extinguishers a board which are fixed at the following places:

Nr. 1: Powder extinguisher in the starboard locker seat, at least fire extinguishing 10A/68B
Nr. 2: Powder extinguisher in the port locker seat, at least fire extinguishing 10A/68B
Nr. 3 and 4: Powder extinguisher at the navigational seat, at least fire extinguishing 10A/68B

Additionally you should place in the pantry a light fire retarding cloth, which is made of glass
cloth and is very useful in the case of fire caused by overheat fat.

It is the yacht owner’s duty

- to have all fire extinguishers regularly checked and maintained ;

- to have fire extinguishers replaced after the expiry date. The same goes if the extinguishers

should have been used. The new extinguishers should at least have the same capacity as the
discussed ones.

Attention:

Keep the bilge clean and check regularly if there is a smell of fuels or gas.

Do not have any freely suspended curtains above or close to the stove or other
devices with open fire.

Inflammable material must not be stored in the engine room. If you store non­inflammable materials in the engine room make sure that they are protected against
falling into the engine installation or are in the way.

Never

- Obstruct any exits or hatches.

- Alter safety installations like fuel- and gas valves and electric switches and the

like.

- Leave the yacht unattended if the stove or the heating is in use.

Never

- Use gas lights in the yacht.

- Fuel the tank or replace gas cylinders if the engine is running or if the stove or

heating is used.

- Smoke or use open lights while handling with fuel or gas.

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

33 of 43

It is the yacht owner’s or skipper’s duty

To make sure that

- all extinguishers are freely accessible

- to inform all persons on board about:

- the position and use of all fire extinguishers and the fire retarding cloth,

- the position and function of the opening for the extinguisher’s nozzle in the engine room

bulkhead,

- the exit through the escape hatch above the fore-berths.

Caution

Test the fire extinguishers regularly!
Train yourself as regards fire fighting.
Always obey seaman’s duty!

2.8 Anchor

The bower anchor (plough anchor), about 21 kg, hot-galvanised, (is known for its high holding
power). It lays ready-to-fall in an anchor stowage device and is secured with a bolt. The chain has a
length of 50 m and a nominal thickness of 8 mm. It is weighed and run out by an electric anchor
windlass (option) operated with a remote control. The remote control is placed in the chain locker
before use and its function is activated at the switch board.

Furthermore it is recommendable to have a stern anchor as well as sufficient mooring- and towing
lines with the necessary strength on board.

E.g.1 stern folding anchor (4-fluke grapnel anchor), 12 kg, hot-galvanised, fixed at the aft guard­rail. 6 m chain forerunner, thickness 7 mm, 34 m polyamide anchor rope, 18 mm, 3-strand hawser
laid. It is stored in the port transom seat. The rope is cleated aft.

2.9 Engine cooling system
Engine cooling

The engine has got a two-circuit cooling system. Water enters through the sail drive, is led to the
heat exchanger and then injected into the exhaust gas pipe. Together with the exhaust gas the
cooling sea water is exhausted via the silencer and the exhaust pipe at the stern. This guarantees a
trouble-free engine operation. Moreover the engine noise is reduced.
All hose connections of the system a secured with double stainless steal clips.

Attention

- Check and clean the sea water filter in regular intervals, depending on the

water quality.

- Before starting the engine make sure that the cooling water inlet is open.

- Have a short look into the engine room for possible leakage.

- When the engine is running it is highly recommendable to check regularly if

cooling water is escaping with the exhaust gas.

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

34 of 43

2.10 Exhaust gas system

The yacht is fitted with a “wet” exhaust gas system, i.e. cooling sea water is injected into the
exhaust gas elbow causing a cooling of exhaust gases. This mixture is led down into a
silencer/water lock, runs through a pipe in the locker seat on the starboard side of the aft cabin, is
led upwards at the stern and escapes to the side above the water-line.
The exhaust gas hose consists of a synthetic rubber material with an integrated steal spiral.
The hose is heat-resistant (for some time) and should be checked and replaced if necessary.
A constant flow of sea water has to be guaranteed. The hose is secured at its joints with two clips.
If there is an interruption of the sea water flow, the temperature sensor in the exhaust gas hose will
release an visual and acoustic warning. In this event you should stop and switch off the engine
immediately until the problem has been settled (see manual of the engine manufacturer).

2.11 Ventilation/Airing

We have taken the following measures for a proper ventilation of all rooms:

Chain locker

Certain ventilation is realised through the hawser port in the cover of the chain locker and through
its bilge holes.

Living cabins/ Salon and forward quarter

Two ventilators

Aft cabin

2 side lights /bull’s eye showings to the cockpit

Components:

1 deck ventilators, 6 side lights, 2 folding hatches

Fresh air:

Fresh air is sucked up through openings in the locker seat, heated and led through a flexible piping
system to the outlets. The amount can be controlled by individual throttles.

Attention
A regular inspection if saltwater comes out of the exhaust is urgently advisable.

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

2.12 Board ducts, sea water valves

Openings below the water line are possible weak spots. That is why we pay special attention to
them.
All board ducts in the underwater part, with the exception of the duct for the transmitter of the echo
sounder, consist of brass-made screwed joints with spherical sea valves and hose nipples. All hose
connections are secured with two clips each. For the cockpit drain special plastic joints are used.

Maintenance note

The tightness of board ducts should be inspected regularly.
Check and retighten all hose clips and stuffing boxes of valves if necessary.

Note

In case of spherical valves a transverse lever-direction indicates : CLOSED
And a longitudinal direction means: OPEN.

3. Environmental protection

BAVARIA YACHTBAU has already met the legal requirements referring to exhaust gas

regulations with its choice for the inboard diesel installed. An exhaust gas type-examination
certificate can be handed in or sent on later.

3.1 Fuel and oil

You should be especially careful when filling the tank. A (wet) cloth around the fuel inlet can
prevent fuel from dripping into water. In your engine manual you can also find a diagram with a
curve about the specific fuel consumption thus offering you some good hint on the most favourable
engine speed.

For a necessary exchange of oil you should use a suction pump, because you cannot drain it off like
with a car. The oil has to be exchanged at least once a year, even in case of a little operation time of
the engine.
A well-maintained engine should never leak. But in order to prevent even smallest amounts of oil
being discharged overboard with the pumped out bilge water, the engine bed has been designed in
form of a closed oil sump. All water from this sump, being possibly mixed with oil, has to be
pumped into a separate canister and has to be deposited ashore.
In any case there should be oil-binders aboard.

3.2 Waste

For all water sportsmen it goes without saying: waste is not thrown overboard. This is also true for
biodegradable waste. There should be a regular waste bag or –bin in a locker seat.

3.3 Sound

The wet exhaust pipe of the diesel engine reduces the engine sound considerably. Additionally
rubber bearings, elastic couplings and the engine room insulation minimise sound emissions.
Nevertheless you should not turn up the engine too quickly and, please, reduce the engine speed in
waters with dense traffic.

3.4 Swell

Natural bank areas are sensitive against swell. Please keep sufficient berth. Formation of waves,
caused by your yacht, is an indicator of where and when you should reduce your speed to avoid
unnecessary swell. Pay attention to relevant signs.

3.5 Exhaust gas

Check the escaping exhaust gas regularly. The exhaust gas should show neither black smoke nor
blue clouds. In such a case you should either clean the air filter or have a repair shop readjusted the
engine.

3.6 Antifouling coatings

The underwater part of the hull of each yacht has to be protected with an antifouling coating
because marine growth means more energy for propulsion. Today there is a wide range of
protective paint with various effects for different bodies of water. Trust the recommendations of
specialists for your decision. Coatings that are effective for years without any grinding in between
are especially recommendable.
But if the coating has to be sanded to some extend you should arrange these activities with the port
officials. Generally the ground under the yacht has to be covered with some plastic cloth to collect
the rubbed down dust and dispose it.

3.7 Varnish removers

Most varnish removers contain aggressive substances and should not be used or as little as possible.
A mechanical removal of paint is the much better way.

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

4. Maintenance

4.1 Maintenance, cleaning

1. Mast and rigging

See: Notes of the manufacturer

2. Sails

The sails are made of Dacron. This material is very robust and resistant. Thus the sails keep their
form for a very long time.
Inspect all your running and standing rigging carefully for sharp edges, splints, protruding ends of
wire and the like because laminated cloth is especially sensitive against touching them. Those parts
of the cloth that can chafe at spreaders or shrouds should be protected on both sides by sticking
self-adhesive cloth to them. The same goes for the foot of the sail if there is the possibility of
chafing at the rails.

Cleaning

Please clean your yacht immediately after you have taken it out of the water. High pressure
cleaning devices will remove any growth. This is followed by an up keeping of the surface of the
yacht. All paint manufacturers provide detailed instructions for their coating systems.
For ships sailing in salt water: rests of salt absorbs water and can cause a faster corrosion. Where­and whenever it is possible you should rinse the yacht and parts of it with fresh water.

Care and maintenance of teak decks

Untreated teak weathers to an natural silver-grey colour, with no detriment to the timber’s strength
or other mechanical/physical properties. Because of teak’s inherent durability and weather-resistant

properties, the use of protective paints or coatings is neither necessary nor advisable.
Practical tips on care and maintenance:
Protective wood care oils – penetrate deep into the timber, and under the influence of heat and
moisture can adversely affect the adhesion of the caulking material to the sides of the joint. As a
result, the seal between the caulking material and the sides of the joint may break down, allowing
water to enter.
Paints and lacquers are decorative coatings which, when applied to a teak deck, dry to form a
continuous film over the caulking material as well. Some paints will not dry properly where they
come into contact with the caulking material, leaving the surface tacky. In time most paints will
flake away along the line of the joint. This spoils the appearance of the teak deck and causes cracks
to open up along the joints.
Teak cleaners should be used only if they contain no other active ingredients apart from normal
soap. Additives such as phosphoric or oxalic acid, which are often incorporated as brighteners, are
corrosive substances which attack both the caulking material and the timber, causing them to age
rapidly.
We therefore recommend that teak decks be swabbed down with a mop and clean fresh water, to
which a small quantity of normal soap may be added if desired. Heavy soiling may be removed by
scrubbing with a hard sponge. The use of a power washer is not recommended. The high-pressure
water jet will remove areas of sapwood and break the seal between the caulking material and the
sides of the joint.
In extended periods of hot, dry weather teak decks should be watered at regular intervals to prevent
the timber from during out completely. Excessive loss of moisture will cause the timber to shrink,
placing the joints under stress. Under unfavourable conditions this can lead to premature ageing or
failure of the joint seal.

Note:

Please remember: Damage to the cloth is mainly caused if it is incorrectly

treated or handled. Especially if you let it shake, expose it to UV rays constantly
or store it improperly.

If there are any questions on the cloths do not hesitate to contact the

manufacturer or your sail maker.

Never remove track cars with ball bearings from the tracks carelessly. Always

use sheet tracks with end stops.

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

38 of 43

Stainless steel

The corrosion resistance of all fittings is based on their ability to constitute a thin skin together with
the air occident, which makes a positive electrical potential. Specialists call it a CR-passive (CR is
standing for chrome).But chrome is in the galvanic contact series negative and a bit less valuable
than iron. If the thin protection skin is damaged the stainless CR will be active and less good than
pure chrome. The corrosion can start.
Who is not disappointed about little brown spots on the fittings? They are caused by flying rust or
particles of iron, which are in the air and in all harbours placed near big towns. As soon as the
flying rust settles onto the protective coat of the stainless steel, it destroys the CR-passivity
aggressively and fast.
Stainless steel only stays good looking for a long time, if there’s taken good care of it.
Take it to your habit, if you are washing your boat with clear water, clean also the rail stanchions,
pulpits and push pits and all stainless fittings thoroughly too. Clear water will wash away the salt,
rust and flying rust, the protective coat will be "ventilated" and its function is guaranteed again.
If you have already brown spots, you can use most of all available metal cleanings to take care of
the stainless steel fittings or you take normal polish like you use it for the hull.
Of course – all the best care can not help, if in the first place the fittings are not made out of the
right material or the stainless steel has not been treated correct. Before you will buy the fitting, ask
for example if the fitting has been polished electrical.

4.2 Coatings

You may contact your marina or the yard if you have any questions concerning the coatings.
Preferably you should rely on one system of one manufacturer that goes on well together.

4.3 Wearing- and spare parts

As an experienced skipper you will not have difficulties in getting original spare parts. If you need
any help, please contact the yard.
If you need any spare parts but cannot get the original ones you have to pay attention to the
stability values to keep the yacht at the high technical standard it used to have at the time of
delivery.

4.4 Repair work

Repairs at the hull (polyester full laminate and polyester sandwich laminate) can be implemented
by a reliable workshop considering the general rules for the processing of polyester resin. The
interior construction was designed in such a way that a non-destructive elimination of defects can
be realised. In regard to the technical equipment you may contact a reliable workshop or your
dealer, too.

4.5 Winter storage

We have already given some well-directed advice on winter storage in different paragraphs
of this manual. Generally speaking all firms offering winter storage should meet the latest
technological standard as far as environmental conditions, storage blocks, fire protection and
accessibility of your yacht is concerned. Moreover there should be fixed rules for work, done by
the owner himself, to prevent any interference with other sportsmen.

If possible the following objects should be taken from board and stored in a dry and frost-free
place:

- Ship’s papers and other relevant documents

- Charts, books and instruments

- Mattresses, upholstery, blankets and sleeping bags

- Sails and lines/ropes

- Foodstuffs

- Gas cylinders

- Safety equipment

- Life raft and rubber dinghy

- Batteries

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH

Advice:

Before wintering you should pay special attention to the following parts and protect them
correspondingly:

- Rinse and clean the transmitters of the speedometer and echo sounder.

- Maintain the electrical systems and clean them with suitable materials.

- Water pipes can be successfully cleaned with soft acids, e.g. white vinegar.

- Water valves should be taken to pieces and greased.

- The toilet and corresponding pipes are cleaned with fresh water.

- The rudder should be fixed that no movements are possible (e.g. by fixing the tiller or wheel).

Engine:

- Fill the fuel tank completely

- Exchange the propeller’s sacrificial anode (if necessary).

- Empty all cooling-water of the engine and follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

- Slacken all belts (lighting engine and other engine driven devices).

Winter storage

- Observe all notes in the engine manual.

- Store the fully charged batteries at a ventilated frost-free place.

- Grease the steering wire and –components

- Remove all water out of the ship and protect it against rainwater entering it.

- Replace all components which seem not to be reliable any longer.

Mast and rigging

It may not always be possible, but it is recommendable:

- Unship the mast,

- Refit all standing and running rigging,

- Inspect the cables and other wires,

- Inspect bolts, spanners and other tie points for possible fatigue of material or cracks,

- Rinse all aluminium parts with fresh water

- Rinse all lines/ropes with fresh water and store them in a dry place,

- Rinse and grease all guide rollers of the mast and the boom.

5. Final remarks and notes

This manual is in conformity with the directives of the harmonised European Norm EN 10240.
Much of it might go without saying for you. Nevertheless we hope, that dealing with the different
chapters of this manual will help you to understand the technical systems and the ideas behind
them. As already mentioned in the introduction, the purpose of this manual is to contribute to an
unspoilt use of the yacht.

Among the things that are not dealt with is e.g. the personal safety equipment. This solely belongs
to the responsibilities of the skipper. It goes without saying that there have to be means of rescue
for all persons on board. But this also includes the procurement and maintenance of a life raft, of
signalling means, a first-aid- as well as a tool-kit.
Since the European Recreational Craft Directive pays special attention to fire protection it shall
also be mentioned, that fire extinguishers have to be maintained in regular intervals and that it
belongs to the duties of a skipper to introduce his crew into their operation.
Those being prepared for an emergency are normally never involved. But just in case: the yacht is
properly equipped for those situations with suitable means.

We are constantly working on further developments of our sailing yachts. We hope you will
understand that we have to reserve the right to carry out changes as far as form, equipment and
technology is concerned. For these reasons you cannot lay claim to a complete correspondence of
your yacht with the information, figures and descriptions in this manual.

If your yacht should be equipped with any details not being referred to in this manual or in the

owner’s file, your party to the contract will inform you about the correct operation and

maintenance.
Since all yachts, manufactured by BAVARIA Yachtbau GmbH, are exclusively sold by official

dealers there is no contractual relationship between the yard and the customer/owner.

Thus BAVARIA Yachtbau GmbH is not familiar with details of the contract between the dealer
and the customer. That’s why it is not urgently necessary that your party to the contract takes over
the full extent of our warranty conditions.
So, if you have to make a claim it is unavoidable to contact your party to the contract.
