The Baybird is a 18.0ft gaffhead sloop designed by W. Starling Burgess and built in wood or fiberglass by Pleasant Bay Boat & Spar Co. since 1916.
The Baybird is an ultralight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
