The Bayfield 23 is a 25.0ft masthead sloop designed by Ted Gozzard and built in fiberglass by Bayfield Boat Yard Ltd. (CAN) between 1973 and 1975.
100 units have been built.
The Bayfield 23 is a light 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 racing boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
