Hull

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.


Interior

The boat is equipped with 8 berths.


Rig

The Bavaria 1130 is equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.


Keel

The Bavaria 1130 has been built with different keel alternatives.

Fin keel

The Bavaria 1130 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.89 - 1.99 meter (6.20 - 6.50 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Unknown keel type


Engine

The Bavaria 1130 has been equipped with different engine alternatives.

Alternative 1:

Bavaria 1130 may be equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD2040 diesel engine at 40 hp (29 kW).

Alternative 2:

The boat may be equipped with an inboard diesel engine at 28 hp (20 kW).

The transmission is a saildrive.
