Designed as a "raidstyle" weekender that bridges the gap between an open sailing dinghy and a dedicated coastal cruiser, the BayRaider Expedition is a 19' 10" (6.05m) ketchrigged trailersailer. Built by Swallow Yachts, it utilizes the same highperformance hull as the standard BayRaider 20 but introduces a distinctive "blister" cuddy cabin to provide overnight accommodation and protection from the elements. The model is defined by its use of modern materials—specifically a vacuumbonded hull with an Airex foam core and standard carbon fiber spars—which keep the displacement exceptionally low at approximately 450kg to 520kg. This lightweight construction is balanced by a sophisticated water ballast system capable of taking on 300kg (300 liters) of seawater, effectively doubling the boat's weight to provide the stability of a much heavier keelboat when conditions demand.
