The Bayfield 29 is a quintessential example of the "traditional-modern" cruiser, a vessel that prioritizes aesthetic charm and seaworthiness over racing performance. Designed by Ted Gozzard and introduced in 1978, the 29 became one of the most successful models for the Ontario-based Bayfield Boat Yard, with approximately 350 units produced before the factory fire in 1988. Defined by its clipper bow, decorative trailboards, and substantial teak bowsprit, the boat offers the visual silhouette of a much older wooden vessel while utilizing a solid fiberglass hull. Its design philosophy targets the cruising couple or solo sailor who values a stable, "big boat" feel in a package small enough to be handled easily and docked affordably.
