Bavaria says the ‘E’ prefix stands for efficiency, economy and extra space. A tour through the boat quickly corroborates this, but to my mind the ‘E’ might better be attributed to ‘evolution’ – and a healthy lot of it. Mainly because the design concept is fairly progressive – a significant switch in direction from Bavaria’s earlier launches. She’s an interesting boat, and one that’s obviously resonated with the discerning European boating fraternity – she was recently voted the 2017 European Powerboat of the Year. The first clue to the concept change is the spec sheet – and it’s quite a departure from the conventional planing speedsters typically fitted with twin, high-horsepower engines. Instead, this is a displacement hull. It has a 10.5-tonne dry weight, a single, 150hp engine delivering a nine-knot cruise speed, 12 knots top speed and a superb accommodation for four or six with an additional two if six is not enough.
These specs underscore her purpose – a comfortable, round-bilged sea-wothy vessel providing a sedate cruise. The clearest example of the E40’s purpose though, is her interior layout. And you don’t have to go any further than the salon to appreciate it. Here you will find a midships helm station located right at the aft end of the saloon.
This causes an immediate double-take – aren’t helm stations meant to be at the forward, starboard end of a saloon? Well, generally they are. But the benefit of the E40’s helm location becomes apparent when you slide back the enormous windows/doors in the rear bulkhead. Closed, they separate the saloon from the cockpit – but when they’re open there’s an instant connection the cockpit. Very good news is that the captain can accompany the cockpit whilst navigating since the Garmin autopilot has a handheld remote for steering this spacious vessel.
That free-flowing space and easy interaction between saloon/cockpit is very appealing. It makes for ‘inclusive’ conversation with the skipper – and he might even get to sample an occasional glass of his wine. Even better is the view from the helm station. You’d imagine maneuvering the E40 into a tight berth would be difficult seated so far back. In fact, the opposite is true – thanks in the main to the glorious 360 degrees panoramic views through the massive windows surrounding the saloon. The view from the saloon is, I think, the vessel’s stand-out feature – it’s certainly my favorite.
The curved, one-piece front window deserves special mention. Free of mullions, it accentuates the sense of space and, at the risk of sounding delirious, there’s an element of the ‘environment being brought inside’. Just Superb!
Engine
The E40 comes with a very balanced 150hp Volvo D-series and even with this amount of power the vessel is more or less overpowered. I’ve reached a top speed of 21.8 km/h (11.7 knots) and the engine was burning 26.3 litres of diesel per hour only!! (see my picture 134 and 135 for this)
