the BA 40 Babel is a sporty 12-meter One tonner with tiller steering. The project is by Roberto Starkel from Trieste, who was asked to design the lines of a competitive boat that respected the IOR tonnage standards. This cabin cruiser therefore has a limited width, accentuated streamlining, a well-sized cockpit equipped to compete between the buoys. The deck is characterized by an uncluttered bow and a low and narrow deckhouse, almost flush deck, which facilitate the movement of the crew. Despite the sporty nature, the interiors are carefully finished, featuring two large cabins, one aft and one bow, both with en-suite bathrooms, as well as three other berths in the saloon area. A multi-victorious boat, it has a large set of cruising and racing sails. Volvo 45 hp engine overhauled. Rebuilt in 2024 with shaft drive and folding propeller and 150 l tank, new turbo.
