How To Go Cruising... NOW!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

World Cruise Equipped 1987 Bayfield 32 For Sale

Located in North Carolina/Bahamas

Puff is a Ted Gozzard designed cutter monohull built in 1987 in Clinton, Ontario, Canada. She is a very beautiful classic design with traditional overhangs, a long bowsprit, and a wide beam. She is very comfortable for the cruising couple or single handing sailor.

We have cruised comfortably on this boat for nine years. She is awesome and we love her. She is always one of the prettiest boats in the anchorage. We've sailed her from North Carolina to the US Virgin Islands, offshore for two weeks straight. I have always felt safe in this vessel.

She could definitely take you around the world. We've sailed her down to the Grenadines and all over the Bahamas. The only reason we are selling is because we are ready to start a family and would like to have a bigger boat to accommodate children.

Puff's length is 32 feet. Her beam 10.5 feet. Her draft is 4 feet.
We have added customized storage all over the boat so she would hold enough food and water for extended passages. Her fuel capacity is more than sufficient. Her top speed under sail is about 6 knots, pretty standard for her size. She is a GREAT boat!
