Bonita 767

Danish designer Niels Jeppesen created this compact cruiser for Agoni in 1992, targeting sailors seeking a manageable yet capable coastal cruising boat. At just over 25 feet, the Bonita 767 strikes a practical balance between seaworthiness and single-handed sailing capability. The boat's fin keel with spade rudder configuration provides responsive handling and good upwind performance, while the fractional sloop rig keeps sail handling straightforward. With nearly half its displacement in ballast, the 767 offers reassuring stability for coastal adventures and short offshore passages. The capsize screening formula of 2.13 falls within accepted parameters for offshore work, though this boat truly shines in coastal waters and protected seas. Jeppesen's design emphasizes practical seamanship over racing performance, evident in the moderate sail area to displacement ratio. The fiberglass construction ensures durability with reasonable maintenance requirements, while the modest 10-horsepower auxiliary provides adequate power for maneuvering and motorsailing in light conditions. For sailors considering their first serious cruising boat or experienced mariners wanting to downsize without sacrificing capability, the Bonita 767 represents thoughtful Scandinavian design philosophy focused on seaworthiness and ease of handling rather than pure speed or interior volume.
