The boat is a Bavaria Vision 42. 42ft 2015 and is fast and stable and simple. It has 2 sails, both furling, all lines controlled from the cockpit. 2 cabin layout and 2 heads and is not cramped. The aft cabin is for crew and is a nice size (2 single beds) plus saloon converts to a double) Fairly standard equipment with the addition of a Watermaker, Garmin Inreach (tracking for family and friends) also Starlink so Internet is avaiilable wherever. All life jackets, sailing jackets, bedding, beach towels etc are onboard.
