Ultimate versatile daysailer for leisure or race.
Row, sail, or motor. The Bahia was designed with stability, safety and performance in mind. It was created for leisure and ease of use, but not at the expense of performance. Stability and sturdy hull design make it easy to
motor or row. The Bahia comes with a single line reefable mainsail for added sailing comfort in a breeze.
- Safety: With a stable and spacious cockpit, the Bahia features
clutter-free space for up to five adults. Inboard seats and
controllable power allow the sailor to feel safe and secure throughout
the ride. Should you capsize, the Bahia is slow to invert, easy to
right and re-board. When you add the mast head flotation, the boat sits
smartly on top of the water so even a small person can right it with
ease.
- Simplicity: Jo Richards has designed another boat that follows
the well-balanced and hugely successful Vago and Pico. Jo has taken
that success to design the ideal family boat. The extra high boom and
gnav system leave the cockpit simple and efficient for new sailors. The
furling jib and single line reefing system also makes it easy to reduce
sail area if the breeze picks up.
- Performance: The light hull and large gennaker allow the
Bahia to fly across the water. Add the trapeze option and you take the
boat to the next level.
- More than just a sailboat: The multifunctional Bahia can be
sailed, rowed or motored. The stability and sturdy design of the hull
make it a breeze to motor or row if the wind lays low. Also, you can
add the stern storage box to store the engine or take goodies for a day
trip.

Dear Matt,
Last September I bought a Bahia, just wanted to let you
know how delighted I am with it having sailed it throughout the Winter. It is a
truly excellent boat and thank you for making the buying experience so positive. Thanks again and do let me
know if there are any more Bahia meets down at Weymouth, I would be
interested.
Kind regards, Peter
