Bayfield 25

In the early 1970s, most boat builders were developing fin-keeled
racer/cruiser lines of production sailboats. Bayfield Boat Yard, in
south-eastern Lake Huron, bucked this trend by producing a line of
long-keeled cruising boats.

The distinctive shape of the Bayfield range of models designed by Ted
Gozzard (with the exception of the Bayfield 36) was the clipper bow, wood
trail boards with scroll work and, on some designs, additional wood trim and
wood taff rails to give a traditional appearance.

Gozzard says he was influenced by the designs of L. Francis Herreshoff, the
famed turn-of-the-century east coast U.S. boat builder. Gozzard claims to
own all books written by or about Herreshoff. Though the clipper bow was
often used by Herreshoff, it was not displayed on his designs of this
length.

This boat is located on the island of Martha's Vineyard and we are happy to show her.

The Bayfield 25 sleeps two forward and two on the main cabin settees. The enclosed  head is to port. The galley is farthest aft, with Origo non-pressurized alcohol stove.. There is 6' of headroom and feels like a much larger boat.The fabrics and overall presentation of this Bayfield are all good and are very liveable. The interior show ample amounts of teak and mahogany, all appearing to be in good condition. There is a Force Ten cabin heater in the main cabin. The cockpit is roomy and features wheel steering.
