Combining stability with surprising performance, the Bahia is easy to handle without compromising the thrill of the sail. Its spacious cockpit, inboard seating, and manageable sail plan provide a safe and comfortable experience for sailors of all levels.
In the event of a capsize, masthead flotation helps prevent a full inversion, making recovery straightforward and stress-free.

It accommodates one adult, two teenagers, or an adult with one or two kids and can be sailed as a single-hander or two-up with a jib.
