Bavaria's C50 provides an unusually broad accommodation choice for a 15.43-metre sailing yacht. The builder offers three- to five-cabin layouts and three or four heads in a hull drawn by Cossutti Yacht Design.
Design and layout
The five-metre beam brings space to the aft sections, while twin steering stations and a self-tacking jib are intended to support practical handling by a small crew.
Choosing five cabins can increase sleeping capacity but reduces the space available for other uses, while a three-cabin plan may suit a family spending longer periods aboard. Those choices should be made before the yacht's general arrangement is finalised.
Life aboard and daily operation
Draft is listed at 2.30 metres in the standard configuration with a 1.85-metre shallower option. Total standard sail area is 131.2 square metres.
The C50's sail plan and hull shape make sail handling an important part of any trial. Owners should verify winch positions, visibility from both wheels and practical access to the bathing platform.
Published dimensions and systems
Owners choosing the accommodation and sail plan should consider the intended mix of private family use and guest cruising. The exact keel, rig and cabin plan determine how an individual yacht should be assessed.
The figures and arrangements quoted here are manufacturer specifications and may change with the owner's chosen build, engine package or model year. Dimensions, draft and systems should be checked on the actual vessel before berth and passage arrangements are confirmed.
Considerations for owners
This is a current-model technical and ownership profile rather than an announcement of a new sale, launch or delivery. Its purpose is to help readers compare the actual configuration of a yacht within the 12–23.99-metre sector.
A buyer should request the final build specification, commissioning records, warranty and a sea trial appropriate to the proposed use. The yard's marketing photograph identifies the model but does not establish the equipment fitted to an individual hull.
