The Bayfield 40 stands as the flagship of the late Bayfield Boat Yard Ltd., representing the apex of Ted Gozzard’s "traditional-modern" design philosophy. Launched in 1982, this vessel was the largest and most ambitious model produced by the Ontario-based builder before Gozzard departed to found his eponymous firm. Built with a heavy-displacement fiberglass hull and a full-length keel, the Bayfield 40 is instantly recognizable by its clipper bow, pronounced bowsprit, and ornate trailboards. It was designed primarily for long-distance blue-water cruising, targeting sailors who value stability, traditional aesthetics, and a "go-anywhere" draft. Despite its length, the boat maintains a relatively shallow draft of approximately 4' 11", making it a favorite for those navigating the Intracoastal Waterway or the thin waters of the Bahamas.
