My wife and I had the opportunity to sail aboard a Bayfield 40 this weekend.
It is a boat owned by some friends who made the switch from power to sail.
He's and excellent sailor, having raced dinghies as a kid.

So, when did he switch? In the womb?


Does anyone have experience with this boat?

No but I have with some of the smaller Bayfields. IMHO they're pretty
well built, very heavy but the weight is functional, structurally; the
rigging, wiring , piping, etc etc all above average.


... I rather liked it, and it seems
to sail particularly well in the 13kts. we had on Lake Michigan on Sunday.

Did you try it in less wind?
