Bayfield Boat Yard
Bayfield Boat Yard Limited was a Canadian boat builder originally based in Bayfield, Ontario, and later in nearby Clinton, Ontario. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of fibreglass sailboats. The company was founded by Ted Gozzard in 1970 and continued in business until a plant fire forced its closure in 1988. All of the company's boat designs were optimized for cruising and included more headroom below decks than competitors. The company occupied a marketing niche, building boats with traditional sailing ship design features such as long keels, clipper bows, trailboards and bowsprits, all rendered in modern materials. History The first Ted Gozzard design produced was the Bayfield 23 in 1973, which evolved into the successful Bayfield 25 two years later. The Bayfield 25 was described by reviewer Michael McGoldrick as, "a true pocket cruising sailboat" and became known for its miniature traditional ship looks. The Bayfield 30/32 was also introduced in 197 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bowsprit
The bowsprit of a sailing vessel is a spar extending forward from the vessel's prow. The bowsprit is typically held down by a bobstay that counteracts the forces from the forestays.

It is sometimes used to hold up the figurehead In politics, a figurehead is a person who ''de jure'' (in name or by law) appears to hold an important and often supremely powerful title or office, yet ''de facto'' (in reality) exercises little to no actual power.

Cutter Rig
A cutter is a type of watercraft. The term has several meanings. It can apply to the rig (or Sail plan, sailplan) of a sailing vessel (but with regional differences in definition), to a governmental enforcement agency vessel (such as a coast guard or border force cutter), to a type of ship's boat which can be used under sail or oars, or, historically, to a type of fast-sailing vessel introduced in the 18th century, some of which were used as small warships. As a sailing rig, a cutter is a single-masted boat, with two or more headsails. On the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic, the two headsails on a single mast is the fullest extent of the modern definition. In U.S. waters, a greater level of complexity applies, with the placement of the mast and the rigging details of the bowsprit taken into account so a boat with two headsails may be classed as a sloop. Government agencies use the term "cutter" for vessels employed in patrolling their territorial waters and other ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
