Bahia – An overview

Description

Bahia – An overview

The Bahia was designed by Jo Richards.

It is well known for its use as a cruising & sail training boat. It is used worldwide by many sail training establishments, venture groups & families.

It is principally intended to be a sailing boat but is capable of being rowed, sailed or motored.

It is of rotomolded construction making it tough & durable whilst requiring minimal maintenance.

The Bahia was marketed for a number of years by LaserPerformance & then under the the Ocean Play brand.

Despite what one may have heard the Bahia brand together with all its tooling was purchased by Performance Sailcraft in 2025 & has been returned to production.

It is our opinion that whilst the Bahia may not be the newest design it remains the best in its role.

It is the intention of Performance Sailcraft that the Bahia & all its component parts will continue be readily available into the foreseeable future.

If you are an owner or operator then boats & parts will be available to order on line from Sail and Sport Ltd.

If you are a distributor or large operator either based in the UK or abroad then boats & parts will be available from Performance Sailcraft but initial contact can be made through Sail and Sport Ltd & the most suitable supply route will be determined.

Other boats in the Sail & Sports range includes the Bug, Pico, Bahia, Vago, Funboat & Laser.

Sail & Sport also try’s to assist owners with parts for past LaserPerformance boats such as the Stratos & Dart16.
