The Bayfield 25 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Ted Gozzard and first built in 1975.[1][2][3]
The boat was built by the Bayfield Boat Yard between 1975 and 1984 in Bayfield, Ontario, Canada, but it is now out of production.[1]
Design
The design was originally known as the Bayfield 23, then later in 1975 it was advertised as the Bayfield 23/25 and in 1976 as the Bayfield 25.[1]
The Bayfield 25 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a bowsprit, wooden decorative trailboards on the bow, a keel-mounted rudder and a fixed long keel. It displaces 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) and carries 1,300 lb (590 kg) of ballast.[1][2][4]
The boat has a draft of 2.92 ft (0.89 m) with the standard keel. It is fitted with a Petters diesel engine.[1]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 261 with a high of 261 and low of 270. It has a hull speed of 5.94 kn (11.00 km/h).[2]
Operational history
A 2014 review of the design in Sail Magazine said, "the Bayfield 25 is well known for its 1,500-pound full keel that draws less than 3 feet, shippy-looking miniature bowsprit and comfortable living spaces that provide 6 feet of standing headroom."[5]
Owner Barb Constans said of the design, "She's a great boat. She's faster than our [Southern Cross] 31 was, and she can go out in 25 to 30 knots [of wind] with two reefs in the main; she just jogs right along. She handles waves well. We're really pleased with her."[5]
