Racing Bayabouts - Rope Bags

Designed for offshore racing and high-performance sailing, the Bayabouts Racing by Outils Océans offer a lightweight, durable and efficient storage solution for ropes and onboard gear. Proven on most of ocean-racing yachts, they combine strength, fast drainage and efficiency in demanding conditions.

The Bayabouts Racing range by Outils Océans has been specifically developed to meet the needs of sailors aiming to enhance their performance. The Racing Bayabouts optimise cockpit organisation and manoeuvres, while reducing weight without compromising durability.

Their wide open-mouth design allows quick access to lines and gear while ensuring excellent water drainage and fast drying, even in extremely wet offshore conditions. Reinforced edges help the bag maintain its shape over time, making it easy to stow and retrieve ropes during maneuvers.

Robust and long-lasting, these rope bags have been tested and approved on high-level offshore racing yachts where reliability and efficiency are critical, including Ultime trimaran, 100% IMOCA, 100 % Class40, 100% Figaro3, 100% Mini6.50. 

The small model of Racing Bayabouts, featuring a Velcro flap, offers additional versatility: it can securely store not only ropes, but also personal items such as sunglasses, sunscreen, keys, gloves or a mobile phone.

Whether for cockpit organization or interior storage, Racing Bayabouts are designed to perform in the harshest sailing environments.
