Rare shallow draft family cruising sailboat to take you anywhere

Extra clean boat with professionally finished interior and exterior wood and cushions (2010), 8-pads cradle, 2010 dingy and lots of 2010 extras. Nothing to sand, paint or repair – just relax and enjoy sailing or socializing at the marina.

I’ve got this boat last fall for my father who was supposed to move to Canada for his retirement but decided to go to Australia to my brother instead (he said it’s warmer there). The boat had 2 owners before me (original owner until 1998 and previous owner from 1998 to 2009), it’s rigged for off-shore but, so far, was used only in fresh waters of the Great Lakes. All wood was professionally renewed this year, we worked with an interior designer on cabin colors and new upholstery, lots of new upgrades installed this year to make her safer and more comfortable.

  • Extra clean fresh water family cruising sailboat with professionally finished interior and exterior wood and cushions (2010), 8-pads cradle, 2010 dingy and lots of 2010 updates
  • Go anywhere with her shallow draft (3’9″).
  • Featured in Sailing magazine (February 2010) (direct link on our site).
  • Equipped and ready for salt water off-shore voyages with closed circuit cooling system, rigid stepped on keel mast, solid hull and legendary overall construction quality of Bayfields.
  • Unlimited cruising range under the sails (there is enough storage space for several week long non-stop passages for 2-3 people).
  • Over 250 miles cruising range under dependable and economical Yanmar 2GM diesel engine.
  • First class yacht for a fraction of the cost of a new one – all inside and outside teak was professionally renewed this year; new cabin and cockpit cushions custom done this year.
  • Bayfields are used by many as a live-aboard boat as well as cruising Bahamas, Florida Keys and many ocean crossings.
  • Great as mini-cottage on the water which can take you anywhere.
  • Nothing to sand, paint or repair.
  • Owner financing is available for Ontario residents (contact me for details)

This is Bayfield 32 – with her cutter rig, long keel and shallow draft, is a classic example of the ideal cruising sailboat which can safely take you anywhere.

    She is a beautiful sailboat!

    • Mark Abbott says:

      Love Bayfields and this is a beauty – has to get rid of my Bayfield 25 – a victim of the recession – if I had the money I would buy this in a heartbeat.

  2. admin says:

    Thanks, Joachim. Please pass the link if you know of anybody who wants a great sailboat for pleasure, and not to spend months on repairing and cleaning up things.

  3. Chris Locke says:

    Nice looking boat,where is it docked now?

  4. admin says:

    Thanks. Boat is on Lake Ontario, at Newcastle marina, 65km Est of Toronto / 30km East of Whitby. Very well protected, reasonably priced and friendly marina with a lighthouse and nice dock side restaurant.

  5. joel herzog says:

    Beautiful boat. just bought my first sailboat. wish i would’ve seen yours first. you have really done a good job making her like new.

  6. mohamed says:

    would you trade it for a hunter 77 27′ + cash

  7. Hello Admin,
    I am surprised that your boat has not sold the first day this ad went up.
    I am guessing it is because of the after expenses.
    Not too many people can afford that even thought they know trhe value they are getting in a boat like that.
    I believe you are just trying to recoup your cost.
    Not too many people look for this kind of bargain online.
    I would suggest you advertise at marinas. Port Credit is a very good place to start.
    I have a 26 MacGregor, my outboard is missing, in storage in Sooke BC and would like to sell it or get a new moter.
    Too bad it was not here in Ontario or I would have tried to make a deal with you. Not to sell you mine but to sell mine and buy yours.
    Doing the personal financing is a big plus to help you sell it.
    IT IS A REAL BAUTY! INSIDE AND OUT. WISH I COULD AFFORD HERNOW!!!
    Lloyd

    • Anton says:

      Thanks, Lloyd. One of the visitor’s gave me an idea to offer owner financing today so I added it to the description just a few hours ago. I hope it will help some people because banks may not finance a used boat.

  8. JayR says:

    Stunning boat! The site is well done too. The boat is almost perfect for us, but with 4 of us, I want to have a dedicated fore and aft cabin.
    Otherwise the work you’ve done on this classic boat makes it a good find.

  9. Juan G. Casanova says:

    I love it I have to wait till the end of the month to see if I can buy it. I have to consider cost of transportation to NYC, which Marina would be the most affordable.
    moving out from my apartment and other expenses. . My last Sail Boat was a 20 footer over 30 years ago so I have to take many thing on consideration. I am retired and tired to ankled to a Building in the City. Also I am consulting with my son. By the time I Know for sure you probably have sold your boat for it indeed a beautiful craft. However it has awaken my desire to start sailing again and if yours is already sold I would be searching for other sales offers.
    Good luck
    Juan G. Casanova

    • Anton says:

      Hi Juan, boat comes with a very strong 8 pads cradle so transportation should not be a problem. Let me know if you want to schedule an appointment to see the boat.

    Some questions I answered via emails:

    Links about Bayfield 32:
    http://www.artoffshore.com/
    http://www.sailingmagazine.net/component/content/article/860

    > Would you let me know a little bit more about its history,

    I got it last fall and was restoring for my father but he changed his plans of coming to Canada. The boat had 2 owners before me (original owner until 1998 and previous owner from 1998 to 2009), it’s rigged for off-shore but so far was used only on Great lakes.

    > condition of hull, re blisters

    Hull is in excellent shape, I was sanding it myself with a friend before putting Micron CSC antifouling and we did not see anything to be concerned about. Very smooth and solid. There is a survey done several years ago after the previous owner put it in the dry storage confirming great hull condition.

    > engine rebuilds

    New Yanmar 2GM diesel engine was installed in 1993. Previous owner showed me all the maintenance records and I had it serviced this season by a mechanic who serviced it for the last 10 year. Very well maintained diesel.

    > sail condition, etc.

  11. Brian says:

    Just wondering what the finance option is? I am in Australia and wish to come over to America to buy a boat, then holiday there for a few years and then sail home. I have a full income at all times.
    Email me if interested
    Thanks Brian

  12. Brian says:

    Stunning photos indeed. As a former B 29 owner I am impressed. Price a bit steep for me given the age of the boat but she sure looks like a beauty. You should have sailed her over to the Port Credit in water boat show. She would have been gone in a second! Not much time left this season. But maybe tie her up on the TO islands or along the waterfront for a day and see what happens. What’s the worst? You might have to sail her yourself for a while next year. :-)

    • Anton says:

      Thanks, Brian. I’m flexible with price. This is what I want if buyer will need financing. Cash price will be lower of cause and I’d love to keep her longer any way.

  13. Anton says:

    I’ve got several emails from US buyers asking about bring the boat from Canada to US. My current information is that there will be no taxes to pay on the border because of Nafta and Canadian origin of the boat (Made in Canada).

    If you want a quote for moving the boat by land, send me an email with your destination zipcode and I’ll check with our local boat movers. The boat has a very solid 8 pads cradle and there will be no problems with moving it by a track.

  14. Anton says:

    More details from a person who recently brought a boat in Canada and moved it to US:

    ..it was surprisingly easy
    1) Because of NAFTA, as long as the boat is of U.S. or Canadian origin, there are no taxes or duties for importing the boat.
    2) You do not need a customs broker, if you are bringing the boat across yourself.
    3) The whole process cost me about an hour and around $30.
    4) I was pretty anxious about it, but it was easy.

  15. keith Bottema says:

    Nice looking boat. I used to build 29′s and 32′s from “80″ to “84″ as a carpenter.
    Very well built craft. I was very proud of being part of the Bayfield

  16. Addison Bickford says:

    Excuse me if its right in front of me and I’m just not seeing it but what year was the boat built in?

    • Anton says:

      Hi Addison,

      - The hull was built in 1975 but it’s condition is more like you would see on a clean 90s boat. You can see this year close ups here: http://www.my-boat-for-sale.com/hull.html. Bayfields are famous for the high quality work.
      - Engine is 1993 Yanmar 2GM20 diesel. Well maintained and runs like a clock.
      - 130% furling genoa and spinnaker are 1988
      - Mainsail is 2003
      - There are many upgrades and replacements in electrical and pluming done in 2010
      - Cradle was custom done in 2000s
      - Dingy 2010

      Let me know if you need more information about her.

  17. Jon says:

    I am interested, however, I live in the San Francisco Bay area. I would need to truck the boat some 2000 miles from Ontario to San Francisco. Since winter is approaching, have you put the boat on the hard and prepped it for winter?

    Also, you indicate owner financing, however, only for Canadian buyers. Is that due to local financing rules? And, if not, can you extend financing to a U.S. buyer?

    The boat shows beautifully; you have put a considerable amount of work into upgrading her. Thanks!

    • Anton says:

      Hi Jon,

      Thank you for your comment. If you give me a zipcode, I’ll find out the quote from the local boat movers. Boat is still in the water until Oct 14. It would be too difficult to finance a US buyer or solve a problem if arise with the payments if boat is 2000 miles away. I already have an offer for financed deal from a great local couple but I want to wait a bit to see if I will get a cash deal before proceeding with financing as it has some disadvantages.

  18. Berthold Wagner says:

    Hi Anton,
    I am a US resident in North Carolina and would love to own your boat. Your US$ cash purchase price seems reasonable to me, subject to any issues per survey (there seem to be none) and I could come to Ontario in the week of October 11th. I just inquired into slip rental here in New Bern, NC (ZIP 28562). Hope to meet you soon.
    So long,
    Berthold
