Description

Versatile platform for racing and leisure.

The Ocean Play Bahia is an excellent family or training dinghy. With its spacious, self-draining cockpit, it can accommodate the whole family or 2-3 students and an instructor but is small enough to pull up a slipway and easily navigate through a dinghy park.

The boat has a wide transom which makes the Bahia very stable and allows for comfortable sailing even when the wind picks up.

The roto-moulded hull is very robust and durable and can be easily beached, which is ideal for weekend trips.

Sail, row, or motor; the Bahia has it all. The Bahia’s versatile design provides a great platform for leisure or racing for the whole family. Slow to invert, and easy to right and re-board the Bahia makes safety one of its strongest features. Ideal for weekend adventures, the Bahia is comfortably beached, rowed or motored without compromising performance. And with a simple addition of a trapeze kit and a hoist of the gennaker, you’re off to the races!  The Bahia features:   ·Stiff and stable roto-molded hull  ·Fiberglass foils  ·Line kit  ·Aluminum spars   ·High boom providing ample head room  ·Spacious cockpit for up to five adults  ·Durable Dacron Main and Jib  ·Storage box  ·Furling Jib

Laser Bahia Review

Jeremy Evans goes for a ‘family sail’ on Laser’s newest and biggest budget-priced rotomoulded dinghy – The Laser Bahia

Bahia means ‘beach’ if you live in South America (it is a coastal state of Brazil) and is pronounced ‘ba-hee-ya’. Since Laser now has a ready-made market for its range in North America, thanks to the acquisition of Vanguard Sailboats, a Latin American name should prove popular for its newest family boat.

Laser put the Bahia into production last year and have sold more than 400 boats in the first 12 months. With markets on both sides of the Atlantic, they hope to sell Bahias by the thousand over the coming years.

The magic ingredient is rotomoulded polyethylene plastic, which allows large-scale manufacturers to invest heavily in order to produce dinghy hulls at the lowest possible cost.

The Laser price list says it all: would you prefer a ready-to-sail glassfibre Stratos at £8,290, or a ready-to-sail polyethylene Bahia (albeit with a slightly smaller hull) at £5,350? That’s a 35 per cent markdown for a boat which hits pretty much all the same family sailing buttons.

Family market

For this test, we travelled down to Laser’s dedicated sailing school based at the Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy. Bryce (9), Tudor (11) and their mum Paula — three of Sail Laser’s Easter holiday clients — volunteered to try the Bahia in pure family mode, with instructor Ben standing in as their ‘dad’ for the day. Portland Harbour provided a magnificent sailing area, which even extended to landing the Bahia on a deserted beach.

There’s a distinct family likeness between the 4.2m Vago and 4.6m Bahia. Both are built with Laser’s rotomoulded sandwich hull and deck construction, both have distinct hips at the wide point and both were designed by Jo Richards.

But while the Vago is promoted as a multi-role dinghy, with double and singlehanded options and two distinct choices of rig, the Bahia appears more clearly aimed as a single role family boat and in my view is the better for it.

…………………………………………..

From our Techniques section:

How to sail faster: changing gears on the race course

How to sail faster: handling gusts

Making the perfect start

……………………………………………

So what does ‘family’ mean? First and foremost that the boat feels comfortable, safe and secure with two adults plus two or three kids. EU regs allow a maximum load of five adults on board the Bahia, which is no doubt possible but in real life you would never want to sail any dinghy with five big blokes on board!

The second role of a ‘family’ dinghy is to provide safe, fun sailing for individual family members. In the case of the Bahia, that could be mum and dad escaping the family to sail as a couple; either parent sailing with one or more children who may take the tiller; or children taking the boat out on their own, which in the Bahia’s case would be no problem for a couple or even a gaggle of reasonably competent teenagers.

Aside from that, a family boat must be able to provide the right level of on-water fun, accompanied by minimum expense and hassle. Sailing performance should be good enough to bring a smile to your face and possibly enjoy some light hearted racing, though if you’re halfway interested in competition we would recommed that you start looking at more dedicated racing designs.

At the same time, the perfect family dinghy should satisfy any lust for a Swallows & Amazons lifestyle, transporting the family to farflung beaches and hidden coves, with sail power enhanced by oar power, or even an outboard motor gently pushing at the stern.

Rigging and launching

The first potentially scary bit for nervous parents might be putting up (or taking down) the mast, but that is made as easy as possible by using a tabernacle. Lay the mast on top of the hull, attach the mast base to the aluminium beam which spreads the load, connect the shrouds on either side, and then use the forestay to pull the mast up hand-over-hand. In a light or moderate breeze, there should be no difficulties managing this singlehanded.

The Bahia offers a simple rig choice between Dacron or Mylar mainsail, both of which are the same shape and size. I don’t see much point in going for the Mylar option.

One perceived advantage is that laminate mainsails look a lot more stylish than boring white Dacron, but that evaporates when Hyde produce Dacron mainsails for the Bahia in a distinctly smart shade of grey, enhanced by red trimmings (those distinctive dark grey circles near the luff are reinforcement patches to protect the sail from rubbing against the spreaders in full size and reefed mode).

The Mylar mainsail should have the advantage of stretching less than Dacron and may last longer if you treat it with extra special care.

But the Bahia is a family dinghy, not a race machine, and apart from being a fraction cheaper Dacron has the massive advantage of being reefable for the simple reason that it’s bad news to put creases in a laminate sail.

A single line slab-reefing system allows you to reduce the size of the Dacron mainsail and keep power low down, where it’s easiest to control. This is a major plus for family sailing, particularly when the Bahia showed it can sail quite nicely with the jib furled, under mainsail alone.

…………………………………………

Did you agree with penalty decision against Great Britain SailGP team?

Back on land, once rigged it’s time to launch. Rotomoulded hulls have one thing in common — none of them can claim to be ‘light’. The Bahia certainly felt quite heavy on the slip at WPNSA. Not outrageously heavy and easy enough to handle on a smooth slipway with a shallow angle, but likely to become a burden if you’re pulling up a steep, rough or slippery surface, or worst of all dragging the boat across sinking sand. It’s just a matter of ensuring you launch and land in the right location and at the right state of the tide.

There was a time when polyethylene boats looked like plastic bathtubs. Rapid development has ensured that the latest generation of rotomoulded hulls appear sleek, shiny and stylish.

Our brand new Bahia certainly looked attractive, with off-white hull and cockpit complemented by a scarlet moulding in the forepeak which provides a spinnaker chute and Bahia graphics on the bows. Going afloat in full family mode, our Bahia also had a splash of scarlet at the stern, thanks to the neat storage box.

The box is a separate polyethylene moulding which can be lifted from the boot of your car and dropped into the stern of your Bahia, where it locks into place. Inside, there’s enough space to stow a load of stuff which might include oars and a small outboard motor, held securely in place.

At the end of the day, you lift out the box and drop it into the boot of your car, where it may provide the ideal container for a load of wet clothing. It’s potentially a very useful extra, at the expense of piling extra weight onto the stern which is most noticeable with the boat on its trolley.

Other neat details include a spring-loaded painter which pulls straight out of the bows — perfect for quickly lashing the bow to the trolley handles or securing the boat to a dock.

…………………………………….

………………………………………

The Bahia also has a gnav (upside-down vang), which inverts the kicking strap on top of the boom. This frees up the front of the cockpit and allows a lower boom with the advantage of lower centre of effort in the sail, as well as much-reduced potential for garrotting children. An enormous hoop in the middle of the cockpit is used to hold the falls of the mainsheet out of harm’s way.

Our family crew had their fun, taking turns to helm the boat, hanging on the wire to prove it’s easy for youngsters to trapeze off the Bahia’s stable hull and even landing on a deserted beach at Castle Cove. Mainly light winds for the test session gave plenty of opportunity to fly the asymmetric scarlet kite which looks surprisingly big for this ‘family’ boat and could be a handful in fresh winds.

Any rotomoulded boat is bound to be a bit ponderous in stronger winds due to its weight and flex, which will not translate into effortless acceleration with every gust. If conditions get challenging, my guess is that many Bahia families will opt to stay upright by keeping that big spinnaker in its chute, enjoying enough performance from a reefed main and jib instead of loading up the rig to the max.

One criticism of rotomouled boats is that they can feel a bit ‘dead’. This will certainly be true compared to a super-light, super-stiff epoxy laminate flyer, for which you will pay a price premium. But in light winds the Bahia felt very nice to sail. It was well balanced and responsive with good ergonomics and loads of room for two adult crew.

It’s easy for the helm to tack the boat cleanly with lots of space to flip the tiller extension behind the hoop. The Bahia felt pleasantly precise when driving upwind, while offwind the big scarlet kite provided a welcome boost.

I know the wind was light, but it did feel particularly well mannered to gybe — stable and predictable with the advantage of that nice, high boom. I noticed while standing up to gybe that that the sole flexed under my feet.

I’m no heavyweight, but Laser assure me it’s normal for the material and no cause for concern — so just regard the Bahia as your flexible friend. Upside down… If you do capsize, there should be no great problems. We flipped the Bahia with its kite hoisted, then left Tudor and Bryce to sort things out unaided.

Having dragged the kite back into its chute, Tudor swam round and pulled himself up on the centreboard to flip the Bahia upright fairly effortlessly with his own light weight.

…………………………………………………

Crewing to win by Saskia Clark

………………………………………………….

For sure, it would be more difficult in a stronger wind, but several things impressed. First, the Bahia has a superbly neat masthead float which prevents the boat inverting; my only criticism is that the float should be included as part of the standard package.

Second, a discreet handhold is moulded in the front of each rubbing strake underneath the hull, which makes it so much easier to pull yourself up onto the centreboard without slipping and sliding.

Thirdly, the Bahia has ready-to-use righting lines under the gunwales which means you can get weight right back on the centreboard, without trying to hang onto a sheet.

Fourth, it’s easy to clamber in over the transom, or even over the side which is fairly low and stable when there is someone on board to counteract your weight.

Laser Bahia Review: Verdict

If you’re happy to accept the advantages of rotomoulding (very low cost and great durability) and don’t mind the disadvantages (extra weight and flex) the Bahia is great value and fits the bill perfectly as a family boat.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
