did you say you cannot sail with the bimini up?

@prusea 2 ай бұрын

Hey Karen, because the traveller is at the back, the bimini is in the way of the main sheets. I am planning on moving the bimini forward but to do that I would like to raise the boom some. I can sail on a hot day but only using the foresail, but the bimini is used now mostly at the dock or anchored to enjoy lunch in the cockpit under shade. Thanks for asking.

I'd be a bit worried about having my head in the way of that traveler. A beautiful compact boat though.

@prusea 2 ай бұрын

Yeah sometimes it's a pain. Only once I was sitting too far back and on a very fast tac, the sheets came across my chest. Bit of unwanted excitement. But it certainly is easy to control and fast when you always have the boat in control. Also I want to move that bimini forward so can have it out while sailing.

Would ❤ to own a Bayfield 25. A perfect step up from my sweet PCS Flicka-20. 5 feet more living space. Has a very similar overall look and lines to the Flicka.

Hey Chris, there's a few of them available. Earlier ones have a mid galley. Good solid fun boat. As some as stated, they won't win the race, but it's a comfortable roomy cruiser for it's size. Thanks for stopping by. Happy sailing.

Nice boat. There's a 1974 for sale on FB Marketplace near me, $8500. Not many pictures so hard to see what shape she's in. That's why I cam here!

@prusea 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for stopping by. The 74 model is a lot different. I believe it's a mid galley, a small side table on the starboard side and only two windows instead of three. Also the engine might be the little 8 hp YS8. Lots of them in the 70's.

Hey there buddy. I assure you that it is my boat for the last four years and will be for several more. I keep my boat super clean and wanted to show what the Bayfield 25 looks like without my personal stuff scattered about. I am going to show other small cruisers and the owners in the new season. Anyway thanks for noticing how clean it is.

This came from the factory. I think it was early 80's that Bayfield started doing this. It's in the 29 as well. It certainly is a great access to the engine, transmission, shaft and for the pedistal.

I just don't get putting a Bimini on that you can't use while sailing. I'm sure it would work if it's sheeted to the bridge deck but it isn't.

@prusea 7 ай бұрын

It's because the traveller is at the back of the boat and the main sheet needs to pass where the bimini is. I can sail with the forsail no problem. So I would have to move to traveller forward to sail with the bimini. That being said, at anchor or while at the dock, the bimini is wonderful for shade while relaxing in the cockpit.

@Tb0n3 7 ай бұрын

@@prusea Just a personal preference. Lots of people make a boom tent with a tarp, though. The first time I saw a bimini like that was on an Ericson 27, but the owner knew nothing about boats and probably screwed something up just driving wood screws into the cockpit. Left a sour taste in my mouth for it.

I had an 1983 Bayfield 25. I like some of the changes. The main one I like is the engine access. Mine had no access from the cockpit. On the other hand, i had a proper separate head. For a 25 footer it is surprisingly seaworthy. I sailed single handed numerous time across the Straight of Georgia, headed to the Gulf Islands in BC. more than a few times it was blowing 20kn, and more. If I hadn't had some health issues, I'd still have it! Not fast, but it'll get you anywhere you want to go.
