The B/One is a compact, high-performance fractional sloop designed by Bruce Farr and built by Bavaria Yachts in 2012. With a displacement of 2375.0 lb and a D/L ratio of 116.64, this 25.59 ft LOA vessel prioritizes speed and agility over heavy cruising comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day-sailors, club racers, or couples seeking a manageable, high-performance package that is easy to trailer and single-hand. Its light displacement and fractional rig make it ideal for those prioritizing sailing dynamics over long-term liveaboard amenities.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low comfort ratio of 10.03 and a capsize ratio of 2.45, the B/One is not designed for extended bluewater passages but is capable of protected coastal cruising and short offshore trips in moderate conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteh First 25.7 and the J/24, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, light displacement characteristics, and a focus on performance sailing in the mid-20s foot class. The B/One distinguishes itself with Bruce Farr's hull design and a slightly wider beam of 8.17 ft.
