The Bayfield 30/32 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Ted Gozzard as a cruising boat and first built in 1973.
The combination of traditional design, modern construction, and roomy interiors for this size of the boat was popular from the start.
[1][3][5] The boat has a draft of 3.75 ft (1.14 m) with the standard keel and most boats were fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of two cylinders and 15 hp (11 kW) or, less commonly three cylinders and 21 hp (16 kW),[1][3] though a few early Bayfield 30/32s were fitted with a unique Sperry Vickers hydraulic drive[1] and a few with Mercedes-Benz diesels.
[2] 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 sturdy, handsome, quality cruiser is an ideal family boat that will provide drama-free sailing for years to come.
