Additional Information
Bayfield 32 C
Her current owners put a tremendous amount of time and finances into getting her ready for endless travels, only to have an injury prevent them from sailing again.
Below is a list of all of her updates completed by her current owners. The original head was removed, and the holding tank was replaced with an additional freshwater bladder. All she needs is a new composting head.
The 32C carries more power than the average 32 with a taller mast ( and therefore sails faster. On beam reach, she is around 6 kts comfortably without much heeling. In light wind, surprisingly, the performance is still rather good. It's set up quite nicely to single-hand and, frankly, is ready to go pretty much anywhere once we install the bimini.
