BayRaider Expedition

BayRaider Expedition

Description

The BayRaider Expedition is your gateway to boundless adventures, a versatile and elegant sailboat designed to carry you through calm waters and thrilling seas alike. Combining the agility and performance of the BayRaider 20 with the added comfort of a cabin, she offers a perfect balance for sailors seeking both excitement and practicality. Her carbon mast makes rigging effortless, while the proven water ballast system provides unmatched adaptability—stable and self-righting when filled, light and exhilarating when emptied, with the ability to plane across the waves in the right conditions.

Step aboard, and you’ll find space designed for shared journeys. The expansive cockpit comfortably seats six adults, creating a welcoming space for friends and family to savour the joy of sailing. Below deck, the cozy cabin accommodates two tall adults to stretch out, and with the addition of a cockpit tent, four can sleep aboard under the stars. During day sails, the cabin transforms into an enclosed head or a snug retreat, even offering space for two adults and two children to weather an unexpected rainstorm.

For those who prioritize spacious cabins, the BayCruiser 21 or 23 might appeal—but for sailors who value an open cockpit and a craft that dances effortlessly with the wind, the BayRaider Expedition is peerless. Whether you’re chasing horizons or making cherished memories with loved ones, she’s ready to guide you on your next great adventure.

Features

Performance Rig

She boasts the same successful water ballast system as our other designs and features a carbon mast as standard, making her very easy to rig, and fast on the water.

Like the BayRaider 20, she is a sprightly performer on the water, self righting when her water ballast tank is full, with the ability to plane in the right conditions.

Layout

In the cabin she has room for two tall adults to stretch out, and with the addition of a cockpit tent, could sleep four.  The cabin can also double as an enclosed head for day-sailing, and in rainy weather can seat two adults and two children (children in the bow, facing aft).

Helm

The BayRaider expedition gives priority to cockpit space, able to seat six adults in comfort.  If more cabin space is desired (at the expense of the cockpit) take a look at the Swallow Yachts BayCruiser 21 and 23.
