Easy to sail with one line reefing and roller furling jib. The single line host/drop Gennaker system and trapeze offer a bit more performance. The Bahia Sport offers an upgraded Mylar mainsail. The righting lines and built-in handles make capsize recovery a breeze. The hoop that anchors the mainsheet offers a great handle and keeps the cockpit clean from lines. The extra high boom makes sure all will have an enjoyable experience. The storage box option offers a great place to bring along goodies for a picnic or stow the collapsible oars or engine.
Row
If you add the rowing option, you simply take the lid from the storage box and turn it over to fit across the beam of the boat. From there you can extend the collapsible oars and row yourself home. The boat is large enough to sit five adults comfortably, but small enough to be rowed by one person. Best of both worlds.
Motor
The Bahia has an easy to install engine bracket that has two pins. One is like a rudder pintle and fits into a hole in the transom and the other is a locking eye bolt that secures the bracket to the stern. The Bahia is easily pushed by a 4 HP motor or less. With one crew member aboard it really gets going!

Long before Farr Yacht Design Ltd. established its presence as one of the preeminent designers of offshore racing yachts, Bruce Farr and partner Russ Bowler had already established themselves as world class dinghy designers and helmsmen. While a dinghy design by the Farr office might be a surprise to some, it was not to Ian Bruce. Himself an international calibre dinghy sailor, and one of the owners of Performance Sailcraft, he just happened to be looking for a new boat for his company.
Ian was looking for a boat that would fill the demand he was getting for a boat in which parents could take their children on the water and teach them how to sail. The Byte, which he designed, was too small having been designed for the 100 - 150 lb. sailor. Therefore, what he was looking for was a boat that could carry some "serious weight" with a proper cockpit laid out for two people, but with the simplicity of a single sail. It would have no wires holding up the mast and would have a lightweight, tapered, carbon fiber tube. It would be very fast, yet, it would be a pleasure to sail. In addition, it would be light enough (130lbs) to throw up on the car top making it a truly recreational product

Welcome to the new, asymmetrical spinnaker dinghy ...
The adaptable, thoroughbred and high-performance hull design of the BOOXY 4.40 makes this ultra-stable dinghy both quick and comfortable, enabling helmsmen to discover the "new generation'" dinghy for themselves whilst also appreciating the advantages of its asymmetrical spinnaker.
The whole length of the self-draining cockpit is open, and the side tanks and open transom have been designed especially with user-friendliness in mind.
The Booxy is fitted with a large, waterproof tank underneath the deck, offering a convenient place in which to store effects and personal belongings.
Very carefully constructed, including a double bunt linked to the hull with pre-moulded polyester, this single-piece vessel is particularly stable on the water. Any mechanical problems caused by the shrouds or centre-board tank are eliminated by special supports, whilst the "wing" rubbing strakes are designed according to the shape of the hull, adding extra rigidity.
