Bavaria C42 is a modern German C-Line sailing yacht introduced in 2020, with our model data recording a fractional sloop rig, 12.40 m LOA and 4.30 m beam. Those core specifications provide a useful starting point for planning standing-rigging replacement and associated equipment, but individual yachts can differ through factory options and later refits. Before manufacture, confirm stay count, material, wire diameter, finished lengths, mast terminals, chainplate pin sizes, rigging-screw threads and the complete forestay/furler interface against the yacht actually being worked on.
