Bavaria C42 with 3 Cabins - Sailing Yacht (2022) - Nirvana

Poor Sailing in the Sporades from Volos is fantastic! Good winds, beautiful harbours and bays and stunning nature. This area is worth returning to more often. However, the Nirvana did not live up to all expectations, we had specifically chosen a young ship from 2022 because we steal high demands for sailing qualities, but it was disappointing due to the condition of the ship, sails and equipment. Main setback was a malfunctioning anchor winch, which should work fine after a manual reset. This beek not the case. As a result, we ended up in a number of dangerous anchoring situations, where, for example, in the middle of the night, the anchor winch started to quarter on its own. Very dangerous when you are 15 metres off the rocks. As a result, we had to adjust our route and sailed back to Volos, where the ship was fitted with a new anchor winch. Discussing this situation with Tubber went well. In the second week, the windset broke down, preventing information on wind direction and force from coming through. This part was replaced a few days later. Smaller downsides were: electric toilet did not work, so we could only use 1 bathroom. Portholes in the cabin did not close properly, allowing skipping waves to come in. Hooks to secure the cockpit table were broken off. The photos on the website are the yard's standard photos, and do not fully reflect reality. For instance, the layout of the cockpit was different, and not all cushions were present as in the pictures either. If you have few demands on sailing qualities, this is a fine and comfortable boat, provided that essential parts work properly. As an experienced sailor, I do not recommend it.
