BODACIOUS 3 was designed by Reichel Pugh as a dual-purpose yacht. The owners wanted to be able to race or cruise the boat both solo/short-handed or with a full crew. For short-handed sailing and racing, all sail controls are led aft to the electric primaries and main winch and there is a water ballast system (approx. 500 liters/side) for additional stability. For crewed racing, the electric winches can be disengaged and a HARKEN pedestal installed which connects to the primaries and main winch. For cruising, the race boom is easily replaced with a carbon LEISUREFURL boom, which, coupled with the roller furling jib, makes BODACIOUS 3 easy to get underway for a daysail. In the interior, there are two complete sets of floorboards (carbon non-skid for racing, cherry covered honeycomb for cruising) and cushions (SUNBRELLA covered for racing and microfiber covered for cruising). Docking and transiting shallow harbors is facilitated by a lifting keel and retractable bow thruster, regardless of whether you are going on a cocktail cruise or an offshore race. She exhibits the same engineering standards, workmanship and attention to detail that are legendary to the super yachts built by Baltic Yachts in recent years. All the sophistication of 100–200 foot yachts in a 45 footer. BODACIOUS 3 is Cat 1 and CE certified and is ready to go anywhere in the world.
