Bavaria C42 - Ostwind II - 2023

Ostwind II is a 2023 Bavaria C42 based in Santanyí, a charming fishing village on Mallorca's southeastern coast where crystalline waters meet limestone cliffs and hidden coves await exploration. This 12.4-metre sailing yacht offers the perfect balance of performance and comfort for groups of up to eight, with three well-appointed cabins and two heads that make week-long cruising genuinely relaxed. The boat's modern design and thoughtful layout transform what could be a tight squeeze into a welcoming floating home, ideal for families, groups of friends, or couples seeking a shared adventure without compromise. A week aboard Ostwind II typically unfolds across the Balearic waters that define this region. You'll benefit from the yacht's responsive sailing characteristics and modern navigation suite—GPS, autopilot, bow thruster, and radar—which make both confident cruising and precise anchorings straightforward, even for less experienced sailors. The boat's air conditioning and heating ensure comfort through variable Mediterranean seasons, while the well-stocked refrigerator keeps provisions fresh for intimate dinners at anchor or provisioning stops in villages like Cala Figuera or Felanitx. Days blend easily between sailing to secluded anchorages, swimming in turquoise shallows, and exploring the Mallorcan coast's quieter corners. The yacht's efficient 57 kW engine provides reliable auxiliary power when the wind drops, and the navigation instruments—cartes, compass, AIS, and voltage converter—give you the confidence to venture further afield if you wish. Whether you're anchored off a whitewashed fishermen's settlement, dining on local seafood under the stars, or simply drifting in the afternoon calm, Ostwind II delivers the essence of Mediterranean sailing: freedom, simplicity, and the particular magic of a week where time moves to the rhythm of wind and tide.
