Bayfield Owners Association

[rlaird]

Folks,

Has anyone got a link to the Bayfield Owners Association? They used to reside on Sailnet to my recollection. Any info is appreciated. In the meantime I'll try a Google.

FYI, I am preparing to put my 1988 32C up for sale.

Thanks for your feedback,
Rob Laird

There is a Bayfield Owners Group on Yahoo. There seems to quite a following with these boats. They surely are pleasing to the eye.

There is a Bayfield named Proteus on the hard at my marina (Bohemia Vista) I have been admiring it all year and was going to ask Kurt who owned it and if it was for sale. What a shame for such a beautiful boat to not be in the water!

how do you determine the production number of a Bayfield from the hull serial number on the stern/

Aside from Yahoo...you might try the e-mail owners lists which can be found under the resources menu at the top of the page.

And:

HINs by the Numbers

A typical hull identification number, or HIN, consists of 12 letters and numbers, as in ABC12345D404.
Here’s what the letters and numbers mean:
ABC: the U.S. Coast Guard-assigned Manufacturer Identification Code. The Coast Guard’s MIC database is online at Manufacturers Identification Code (MIC) Database
Bayfield is BAY or ZBY
12345: the hull serial numbers assigned by the manufacturer, may be a combination of letters and numbers; the letters “I,” “O” and “Q” are excluded because they could be mistaken for numbers.
D: the month of certification or manufacture. Indicates the month in which construction began, with “A” being January and “L” being December. In our example, “D” means April.
4: the year of certification or manufacturer. Indicates the last digit of the year, in this case, 2004, the boat was built.
04: the boat’s model year.
