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."

76-436: A cold drink on a hot day. How about a big portable ice chest, instead?" Related development Similar sailboats Ship%27s wheel Until the invention of the ship's wheel, the helmsman relied on a tiller —a horizontal bar fitted directly to the top of the rudder post —or a whipstaff —a vertical stick acting on the arm of the ship's tiller. Near the start of the 18th century, a large number of vessels appeared using

95-444: A diesel engine and very livable interior with standing headroom. Not bad for a boat whose length is more like 24 feet, if you don't count the bowsprit. This boat does, however, have a small cockpit. Another drawback is that it takes a fair amount of wind to get these boat moving at a good clip. Many cruising sailboats sacrifice some performance in favour of comfort and livability, and these tend to be more noticeable on smaller designs. On

114-490: A helmsman steering in the dark and used by him to determine the exact position of the rudder—this is the king spoke , and when it pointed straight upward the rudder was believed to be dead straight to the hull. The completed ship's wheel and associated axle and pedestals might even be taller than the person using it. The wood used in construction of this type of wheel was most often either teak or mahogany , both of which are very durable tropical hardwoods capable of surviving

133-422: A wooden platform , often no more than a grate. A tiller rope or tiller chain (sometimes called a steering rope or steering chain ) ran around the barrel in five or six loops and then down through two tiller rope/ chain slots at the top of the platform before connecting to two sheaves just below deck (one on either side of the ship's wheel) and thence out to a pair of pulleys before coming back together at

152-463: Is by a tiller with a wheel optional. It displaces 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) and carries 1,300 lb (590 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 2.92 ft (0.89 m) with the standard keel. It is fitted with a Petters diesel engine of 7.5 hp (6 kW). Features include an anchor locker, internal halyards , a 4:1 aft mainsheet with a traveller, slab-reefing, jib tracks and two cockpit jib winches. A halyard winch

The boat was built by the Bayfield Boat Yard between 1975 and 1984 in Bayfield, Ontario , Canada , but it is now out of production. The design

190-416: The axle . The square hole at the centre of the hub through which the axle runs is called the drive square and was often lined with a brass plate (and therefore called a brass boss , though this term was used more often to refer to a brass hub and nave plate) which was frequently etched with the name of the wheel's manufacturer. The outer rim is composed of sections each made up of stacks of three felloes ,

209-433: The facing felloe , the middle felloe , and the after felloe . Because each group of three felloes at one time made up a quarter of the distance around the rim, the entire outer wooden wheel was sometimes called the quadrant . Each spoke runs through the middle felloe, creating a series of handles beyond the wheel's rim. One of these handles/spokes was frequently provided with extra grooves at its tip which could be felt by

228-443: 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." In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The Bayfield 25 fits many people's definition of a true pocket cruising sailboat. It has a miniature bowsprit and shoal draft full-keel, and it comes complete with

247-408: The effects of salt water spray and regular use without significant decomposition. Modern design—particularly on smaller vessels—can deviate from the template. The steering gear of earlier ships' wheels sometimes consisted of a double wheel where each wheel was connected to the other with a wooden spindle that ran through a barrel or drum . The spindle was held up by two pedestals that rested on

266-424: The other hand, Bayfield sailors will be out enjoying strong winds when many other boats will be heading back to port." In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "compared to other 23-footers, she won't win races (PHRF of 270) but she stands a chance of competing on liveaboard comfort with 5' 9" headroom ... Worst features: We don't like to see the icebox under the port side quarter berth. It's so inconvenient to reach for

304-418: The ship's wheel design, but historians are unclear when the approach was first used. A ship's wheel is composed of eight cylindrical wooden spokes (though sometimes as few as six or as many as ten or twelve depending on the wheel's size and how much force is needed to turn it.) shaped like balusters and all joined at a central wooden hub or nave (sometimes covered with a brass nave plate ) which houses

323-406: The tiller and connecting to the ship's rudder. Movement of the wheels (which were connected and moved in unison) caused the tiller rope to wind in one of two directions and angled the tiller left or right. In a typical and intuitive arrangement, a forward-facing helmsman turning the wheel counter clockwise would cause the tiller to angle to starboard and therefore the rudder to swing to port causing

342-465: Was a factory option. Accommodation consists of a "V"-berth in the bow, twin settee berths and a starboard berth that runs under the vanity and locker. An alcohol-fired stove stores under the starboard berth. The head is located on the port side and includes a 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) holding tank. Originally produced with two cabin ports per side, in 1982 the manufacturer started installing three ports per side. The boat has

361-414: 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. The Bayfield 25 is a small recreational keelboat , built predominantly of fiberglass , with teak wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a clipper bow with a bowsprit , wooden decorative trailboards on the bow, a keel-mounted rudder and a fixed long keel . Steering
