Specifications
Bayfield 29 – Classic Canadian Long Keel Yacht with Seaworthy Character
The Bayfield 29 is a classic sailing yacht, designed by the renowned designer Ted Gozzard and built by Bayfield Boat Yard in Canada. This model, from 1981, is a long keel yacht with a distinctive design characterized by its robust construction and stable sailing properties. Approximately 350 units of this type were built, making it a recognizable and appreciated presence among enthusiasts of traditional sailing yachts.
Dimensions and Construction
With a length overall (LOA) of 8.84 meters, a beam of 3.11 meters, and a draft of 1.10 meters, the Bayfield 29 is suitable for both open water and shallower areas such as the Wadden Sea. The shallow draft allows access to hard-to-reach places like Schiermonnikoog and Ameland. The hull is made of polyester, contributing to the ship's durability. The hull shape is a stepped V, enhancing stability and comfort while sailing.
The air draft is approximately 12 meters, making the ship suitable for most bridges on inland waters. Inside, there is a headroom of 1.80 meters, providing a comfortable living space on board.
Interior and Accommodation
The Bayfield 29 offers sleeping space for four fixed and two additional persons, divided over a forward cabin, salon, and possibly a convertible dinette. The interior features a dining area, mattresses, a manual toilet, and a separate wet cell with a shower. The galley is equipped with a stove and a refrigerator, making it suitable for multi-day trips.
The water tank has a capacity of 90 liters. The toilet discharges directly into open water, which is common in older sailing yachts. There is no heating on board.
Sailing Equipment and Deck Gear
The sail plan consists of a mainsail, spinnaker, and gennaker, making the ship suitable for various wind conditions. The mast is made of aluminum, and there is one mast present. The condition of the sails is described as functional. Steering is done via a tiller in the open cockpit. The rudder is single.
On deck, the ship is equipped with a bimini, guardrail, fenders, and lines. There is one anchor present, secured with a line. The cockpit is self-draining, contributing to safety in rough conditions.
Engine and Technical Installation
The Bayfield 29 is equipped with a Yanmar 2GM diesel engine with a power of 15 hp. The engine is electrically started and has approximately 1200 running hours. The current condition of the engine is unknown. The fuel tank has a capacity of 30 liters. Onboard instruments include a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, and temperature gauge.
The electrical installation on board needs to be reconnected. Navigation equipment includes a compass, log/speedometer, and wind meter.
Berth and Condition
The ship is currently on the hard at a yard in Wolvega, with the mast lowered. The boat has not been in use for some time and is stored dry. The condition of the ship is described as reasonable. No signs of osmosis have been detected. The boat is not registered.
Suitability and Sailing Area
The Bayfield 29 is designed for both inland and coastal waters. Thanks to the long keel and stable sailing behavior, the ship is suitable for longer trips and more challenging conditions. The shallow draft makes the ship particularly suitable for the Dutch Wadden Sea area.
Summary
This Bayfield 29 offers a solid foundation for sailors looking for a classic, seaworthy yacht with character. The ship requires some technical attention, particularly in the areas of electrics and engine inspection. For enthusiasts of traditional sailing yachts with long lifespans and proven design, this ship offers an interesting opportunity.
