| Event: Match Race Germany Designer: Farr Yacht Design Boat: Bavaria 40s Match Race Germany, sailed on Lake Constance in southern Germany, introduces a new class of boat for 2011, the Bavaria 40S. The new boats replace the previous Bavaria Match 35. The 40 S is one of the heavier less maneuverable boats on the Tour and will provide a different challenge to the crews. Speed must be retained as the boat takes time to accelerate, therefore you'll see a more strategic approach taken by teams to coax the best performance from the boat. Specifications |
