The Bayfield 30/32 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Ted Gozzard and first built in 1973.[1][2]
The design was built by Bayfield Boat Yard in Bayfield, Ontario and later in Clinton, Ontario, Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][3]
Design
The Bayfield 30/32 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a cutter rig, a raked stem, a bowsprit, wooden decorative trailboards on the bow, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed long keel. It displaces 9,600 lb (4,354 kg) and carries 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 3.75 ft (1.14 m) with the standard keel and is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 21 hp (16 kW).[1]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 228 with a high of 222 and low of 237. It has a hull speed of 6.46 kn (11.96 km/h).[4]
Operational history
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The Bayfield line of sailboats are dedicated cruising boats and aren't known for their outstanding performance. However, the Bayfield 32 equipped with a tall rig is supposed to be quite fast, although it will not point as high as a club racer with a fin keel. This boat has a shallow draft, a wide beam, and plenty of living space down below. The Bayfield 32 is a good looking boat with a distinctive appearance which sets it apart from the many look-alike boats that were manufactured in Canada in large numbers in the 1970s and 1980s."[5]
