21′ Benjamin Bella Gaff Sloop (1998) – BLUE RHYTHM

BLUE RHYTHM was the first Bella Class, created for a seasonal visitor in Vineyard Haven. The goal was a classic, easy-to-handle boat that was responsive in tight mooring fields and comfortable on the outer waters of Vineyard Haven Harbor. The 21-foot Bella is a simple, engine-free daysailer with a small cuddy cabin, two berths, and space for a picnic. With no electronics or gadgets, it’s a pure sailor’s boat, enjoyed by all ages. Her lead ballast keel and firm bilge sections provide stability and agility. The spacious cockpit seats four to five adults, with supportive white oak coamings. A round cabin trunk, oval port lights, and cambered cabin top complete the boat’s timeless profile. There are now 7 Bella’s around the northeast.
