Safety: With a stable and spacious cockpit, the Bahia features clutter-free space for up to five adults. Inboard seats and controllable power allow you 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 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 easy to motor or row if the wind lays low.
