The Bayfield 29 carries 468 Sq. ft of sail on a modern masthead cutter rig. She moves in light air and when the wind pipes up you have thirteen combinations of standard sails and slab reefing easily handled by an experienced singlehander or by a man and his wife. Going to weather the BAYFIELD 29 can hang in close to 30 degrees apparent wind and in most conditions give the so called racercruiser a pretty good beat, reach, and run for the money. After the days sailing, the BAYFIELD's 3'6" draft let's you snuggle in close to shore while the deep fin keels stay off.

The traditional clipper bow, carved teak trailboards, teak bow platform, nicely proportioned topsides and cabin, a striking shearline, wide decks, taff rail with turned teak spindles, slotted black anodized toe rails, stainless bow and stern pulpits, lifelines, bow anchor and hinged cover, engine access through the cockpit floor, teak handrails all brought together in an eye-pleasing blend of new and old.

Below the BAYFIELD 29 has a fixed centre table with a fold down leaf either side. Settees to port and starboard. Backs raised to provide extra wide berths for comfortable in port sleeping. Down the backs hide the bedding. Open and closed shelves above to hold all the gear you'll want to carry, with more storage below. Because the galley/navigation area is wide open to the main cabin the feeling of space is most unusual even for a much larger boat. Sliding teak panels raise to provide privacy between the two cabins. Nice touch. And now we come to the cruising mates dream come true. Through a solid door forward, a full dressing room. Head to starboard, vanity to port, and upholstered seat and spads of storage space including a hanging locker.
