Aira 22, an All-Rounder for Small Budgets

The Aira 22 is a versatile all-rounder for small budgets built by Netherlands-based Aira Boats and designed by Simonis-Voogd. 

The Aira 22, designed as a classic touring dinghy, is available in three different versions. The Aira 22 ClubSailer is a training boat , which is available with a robust rubber boat strake and rubberized nose.

This version of the 6.50 m long boat is specially designed for clubs, sailing schools, and boat rental companies. It has plenty of storage space under the cockpit seats and in the forward cabin and is available with a flat keel (0.90 m) or lifting keel (1.15 m).

Aira 22, sailing with the family

The DaySailer version of the Aira 22 is particularly suitable for relaxed sailing with family and friends. Equipped with seat cushions, padded backrests, and a swivel table, this version allows you to sail comfortably on the water.

On request, you can also order a cockpit tarpaulin, a slatted frame for the cabin, and a 2 x 1.40 m air mattress, which even allows overnight stays on board. An electric engine with 1.5 kW, that can be deployed electrically in seven seconds, rounds off the DaySailer version.

For sailing fun

In the MatchRacer version, this sailboat comes without an engine but with a 25 sqm gennaker and gennaker system to adapt the boat for racing. Thanks to the long waterline and the modern lines, the Aira 22 has very good sailing characteristics and is very stable even upwind.

She offers sailing fun for up to six people and is easy to trailer due to her compact size. Therefore, it is a very flexible boat when it comes to the question where you want to go sailing next.

The countdown has begun for the new ICE 66 rs

European Yacht of the Year 2019: Special yachts

• Toby Hodges
• May 31, 2019

The most competitive and varied category of the 2019 European Yacht of the Year, special yachts focuses on daysailers, from the compact to the luxurious

Photo: Rick Tomlinson

This category assembles a varying mix of interesting craft, many of which we might otherwise not have had the chance to sail, and this year’s nominees shared a collective ability to delight the helmsman.

Finalist: Aira 22

The Aira 22 is an unassuming looking dayboat, designed to replace the popular Polyvalk school/club boat in the Netherlands. I had so much fun sailing this Martin Voogd design in wind and waves off Port Ginesta, both surfing and punching upwind, I refused to head in until our raw hands could take heaving sheets no longer.

It’s a bit uncomfortable, particularly perched up on the weather rail, but the Aira’s rudder never lost grip, its central mainsheet is easy to play and it has a cockpit that can host an army of friends.

An affordable, fun, light boat (750kg) with a simple retractable keel, available in three versions including with an optional economic electric pod drive. Price ex VAT: €11,900. Photo: Bertel Kolthof

Finalist: RS21

The RS21 is another blast to sail. Designed to race with two to four crew (inboard – no hiking) and for everyone to have a role aboard. I had a memorable sail, two-up in Sweden, in the last of the evening breeze. With the gennaker hoisted we could still power it up in the single-figure ‘gusts’ and bear off onto the plane.

The control lines are well laid out to allow all crewmembers to be active and enjoy the experience. The optional, retractable central Torqeedo pod is a smart solution, part of a focus on sustainability that I applaud – RS use bio resin and the core foam is made from recycled plastic bottles.

An attractive, new, all-round performance offering to the club racing keelboat market from dinghy leaders RS, this is a blast for all to sail. Price ex VAT: €22,500. Photo: Rick Tomlinson

Finalist: Saffier SE37 Lounge

I salute the Saffier for its looks, build quality and performance. Its innovative cockpit layout, with wheels and winches forward of the huge lounging area, really works well and makes it a doddle to sail solo.

A luxury sports car of the sea, with top-end looks and quality and an intelligent cockpit design, the Saffier promotes pure sailing pleasure in stylish comfort. Price ex VAT: €209,500. Photo: Bertel Kolthof

Finalist: Domani S30

Where the Domani lacks some of the performance and stiffness of the Saffier, it’s an attractive looking package with a neat Torqeedo electric engine installation and a smart interior.

This is a relatively light, good-sized sporty dayboat that seems well built and finished for the price.

A trailable sportsboat with a slick roadster look, the Domani is well finished, comfortable, fun to sail and has a neat interior. Price ex VAT: €86,900. Photo: Bertel Kolthof

Winner: Lite XP

The concept of the (180kg) Lite XP is the brainchild of Liteboat’s Mathieu Bonnier, who used it to compete in the Race to Alaska – a 750-mile non-motorised event from Washington to Victoria to Kethikan.

The result is this super lightweight 20ft centreboard sailing and rowing craft, which comes with optional sliding rowing seat, carbon oars, a cuddy with two berths and a cockpit tent, all extras that encourage proper adventure.

Exploration is back! The Lite XP: the most enjoyable (and quietest) adventure you can have in under 20ft? Photo: Rick Tomlinson

The boom-less, short carbon rig with low centre of effort makes sailing simple – yet the Lite XP packs a punch, planes in zephyrs and was unanimously voted the most fun boat to sail in the trials. A fellow judge clocked 13 knots in 15-18 knots of breeze in the flat Swedish waters.

The performance is perhaps unsurprising, given its designer – Sam Manuard is responsible for some of the fastest Class 40s, the Seascape range and a foiling IMOCA 60 currently in build.

To convert the Lite XP to rowing takes less than a minute, as the sliding seat simply fits into grooves moulded into the central thwart. Being able to row the boat efficiently avoids the need for an engine.

I would argue that there is no more appropriate recreational boat to use around picturesque waters like Sweden’s west coast archipelago. To row out leaving no sound and have a boat efficient enough to harness every knot of breeze is a pure form of sailing.

A celebration of simple sailing pleasure, the Lite XP is a blast to sail, will keep you fit and avoid the need for an outboard. It’s a niche boat, but a commendable execution of a brilliant design.

A lot of boat, a lot of value

Challenging ourselves every day to build the best open sailboat; that’s what we stand for. We see ourselves as innovators in a traditional market. We work smartly, innovatively and effectively on the new generation Daysailer. A boat that sails well, sits comfortably and is affordable.

The philosophy behind the Aira Boats concept

To deliver maximum value to our customer, we aim to be smart, innovative and effective in everything we do. This philosophy is a common thread running through our process. From design and production, to cooperation with partners and customers.

Building more boats means more efficiency

From the very first ideas for a new open sailboat, we started from production in large numbers. By setting up a special, in-house production line, purchasing in bulk and devising smart parts, we managed to achieve a high level of efficiency. This way, we are able to offer much more quality and functionality than the previous generation Daysailer.

Aira 22: The new generation Daysailer

The design by Simonis-Voogd Design combines the lines of a modern sports boat with comfortable seating. The square top mainsail, the short jib, the self-draining cockpit, the benches and an electrically retractable electric motor characterize the new generation Daysailer. The Aira 22 is ideally suited for sailing together. With friends, family, parents and children. One day pleasant sailing, the next sporty. It fits and is all possible.
