About the BAHIA 22 (JEANNEAU)
A fixed keel version also available.
The Bahia 22 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Harlé and built by Jeanneau in France between 1983 and 1987. With a displacement of 1852.0 lb and a beam of 7.94 ft, it represents a lightweight, performance-oriented entry into the cruising market from that era.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, lightweight vessel that is easy to trailer and dock. Its fractional sloop rig and relatively low displacement make it accessible for single-handers or couples looking for a responsive day sailor with overnight capability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.59 and a comfort ratio of 9.31, the Bahia 22 is not designed for serious offshore passage-making but is suitable for protected coastal waters and short inshore trips.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Catalina 22 and O'Day 22, which share similar dimensions and target the same market of affordable, trailerable cruisers. The Bahia 22 distinguishes itself with a fractional rig and slightly lighter displacement compared to the masthead rigs common in many contemporaries.
