Fountaine Pajot Bahia 46 year 2003. 4 cabin / 4 heads layout. Owner boat. Fully loaded and autonomous for off-grid living and extended cruising in remote locations with a huge solar array, lithium batteries, watermaker and ample refrigeration and storage.
Just seen an extensive (and expensive) refit at a cost of nearly $100k. She’s ready to go now with no work needed.
The Bahia is truly a world-class cruiser with heaps of private and communal space even for a big family. Storage space unheard of in other boats of this size, absolutely cavernous engine rooms (I had 3 people in there several times and we still had room to move around) and the fastest and most stable sailing performance in its class by a wide margin. She will easily return 60% of wind speed under normal sails and nearly match AWS with the spinnaker up. Her windward pointing ability is superb, up to 35 AWA in comfort or 30 if pushing into a decent breeze. High bridge deck clearance means no slapping ever even when going straight into the weather.
Also separately for sale are a 12’ hypalon Genesis dinghy with centre console and 30hp 4 stroke Honda outboard (RRP $15K), a Bauer Mariner 190Lpm dive compressor ($12k new) and 6 complete scuba kits (BCDs, regs, tanks, masks fins). These can be negotiated with the new owner for a favourable price.
Boat is Thai flagged with Thai VAT paid, has a commercial license already renewed and paid for a year and is currently in use cruising the West coast of Thailand. She is truly a turn-key vessel.
The sale is a walk-on walk-off concept, where I will only take a suitcase of clothes and personal effects off the boat and the new owner can bring theirs, unpack, provision and start cruising the next day.
Serious inquiries only. No dreamers or timewasters. Messages asking for details already listed in the ad will not be replied to.
Equipment: New engines saildrives Oct 2015 Upgraded to SD-60 (can change oil from inside engine room instead of having to haul out), more efficient gear reduction with higher speed, wet multidisc instead of unreliable cone clutch that’s $2k when it fails. All paperwork present.
ALL original manuals and technical drawings in FP binder (rigging, sails, engines, saildrives, electric toilets, engine panels, fridge, plotter, windlass etc)
Hard top (GRP/foam sandwich)
huge 250 lph watermaker w/ Cat Pump and 2 new membranes July 2021, double pre filters and carbon filter. Potable water from the taps
8kwh Lifepo4 batteries with new MPPT charge controllers and remote display. Can easily go 3-4 days without charging and can power a portable AC unit. With this much power there is no need for a generator, that’s why she’s so light. Batteries can still be charged with the engines if needed.

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
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
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
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
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
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 Beam1.33)
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)
