bayliner
thank you for building your bayliner! the dealer (s) below will be forwarded this information and could be contacting you shortly .
i think that doug peterson designed many of the us yacht hulls. i am not sure that bayliner built the original molds or they purchased them from another mfg. there is some indication that pearson purchased some of the molds after bayliner decided to discontinue building these boats. check the prices on buc and nada for some comparable prices .
i' ve had a request to review this sloop for a friend interested in buying it. i' m unfamiliar with bayliner sailboats. any sailors recommend these boats ?
i have the option to pick up a us yacht 25 built by bayliner in 1982. it looks like a pretty cool little sloop. anyone know anything about them ?

of a bayliner sailboat my father has a bayliner yatch which is a wonderful vessel so i could assume it would be a quality boat. but since they dont make them anymore and you dont see them this would lead me to belive that its for a reason. do your research and have it hauled out first for a survey! good luck jeff russell h23

i had a bayliner bucaneer several years ago. it was about 18' did all right by me. had a swing keel and very small encosed bow. sloop rigged. it was pretty quick, got up on a plane .

i would think the most important consideration in a boat this old is what condition is it in .
you all are associating the name bayliner with the early to mid eighty' s powerboats. bayliner cut a lot of corners in this generation of boats by trying to be everything to everybody. the got into a lot of trouble financially and nearly went out of business. the early bayliners, including the sailboats are excellent examples of coastal capable vessells. a well maintained bayliner buccaneer should not be excluded from the list of quality boats. look at the boat, determine if it will fit your bill, and consider it as a viable option. i would put one up against a same vintage macgregor or the like any day. but, a 30 year old boat should obviously be viewed with eyes wide open. just my two cents... ross in tampa 1979 oday 25

if you are not familiar with us yachts, they were around in the early 1980’s to almost 1990 out of seattle, washington. they bought pearson hull molds for 25, 27, and 30 foot sailboats, so in essence the hulls are pearson and very thick compared to todays boats. bayliner bought them out and continued the line and supplied the decks for us yachts even before the purchase. i believe bayliner changed the name to the buccaneer line of sailboats. several buccaneer clubs can be found on the internet. they shipped with few options except for engine size, a single cylinder 8 hp volvo - penta diesel and a 2 cylinder 16 hp engine of the same manufacturer .
the bayliner 29 & 33 hulls were coming out of the ex - chaser yachts molds. really not very well done and hideous decks of their own “design. ” strangely, they used some really racy (for the time), small sectioned proctor rigs. dp got stiffed more than once on design royalties and people pulling molds off existing hulls .
founded by j. orin edson who had been a dealer for small powerboats and motors since 1955. at some point he purchased the bayliner name and began building sailing craft around 1970. it is said that bayliner, which historically, had been a manufacturer of power boats, got in to the sailboat business in response the fuel crisis of the early 1970' s. of course, the higher fuel prices didn' t make them less expensive to build. whatever the reasoning, they were called buccaneers and they built a lot of them before they sold off the entire devision in 1979? and went back to building powerboats only. many models were based on' splashed' copies of boats from other builders (most notably the columbia 23t and columbia 26t) with changes that emphasized interior amenities with sailing performance as a secondary consideration. and yet some might say, they have their own unique aesthetic. these boats ranged from the 17' buccaneer 180 up to 27'. others included the doug peterson designed buccaneer 335 at 33'. these were also built from tooling purchased from other companies. many of the same models (with minor differences were built by us yachts which was a division owned by bayliner. us yachts, (not the same company that was associated with grampian yachts) also built some larger boats (the largest was the us 42) that did not appear in the bayliner line. rb 2009
first - time and experienced boaters alike have enjoyed bayliner bowriders for decades. that’s because boaters worldwide appreciate the versatility, open layouts, storage capacity, value and performance these boats have to offer. whether you’re into water sports, fishing, coving, or cruising, our lineup from 16 to 22 foot models—in both sterndrive or outboard power options—have what you need .
compare our deck boat line up to the competition and find out why bayliner deck boats have the capacity to do just about anything. thanks to our superior use of space and storage, plus our smooth - running hull designs, these deck boats have maximized capacity in every sense of the word. from coving to cruising, fishing, water sports and more, these versatile craft are in a class by themselves .
depends. if it' s the deep keel version and you equip it with good hardware - all the stuff that bayliner didn' t include and most of the susequent owners never suspected existed (like a vang and a backstay adjuster ...) prep it well and put on good sails, it' s a perfectly nice cheap phrf weekend warrior / family cruiser. sails pretty well .
allegedly
based a gary mull hull and foils. (not like those' bathtub full of windows' models they are known for. )
i knew someone that had one several years back. he didnt know anything at all about sailing and bought the (used) bayliner because it had an attractive price. very uncomfortable feeling on it. it always felt like it was going to roll over. it never did, but felt that way. was also very slow. like sweettrade said
since they dont make them anymore and you dont see them this would lead me to belive that its for a reason .
stick to the major manufacturers and you will be much better off .
bayliner built them in' 82, then pearson built them in' 85. pearsons build quality was better, but this is also the
dark years
of production boat building and lots of
experiments
where conducted in regard to cost reductions and material choices. blisters on moored version can be an issue as can a host of other, often just age related things, need to be looked at. there are some things you just have to exspect from 1 / 3 a century old production boats, particularly those that were at the low end of the quality scale, like this one .
a bucaneer 272 (made by bayliner) was my first keelboat. i had a great learning experience with the boat and owned it for 8 years and had lots of great times on it. no thru hulls whatsoever to sink the boat. i installed a head on it and used a water bladder to fill the toilet. did alot of work on it and sailed it like there was no tomorrow. bought a hunter 34 and sold the boat for 1200 more than i paid for it. i cannot bash one of those old sinkin lincolns at all. it was a great first boat, and was not a balsa core hull. solid fiberglass. tim welsh
i' ve got the chance to buy a little us yachts (bayliner ?) 21. i know the owner quite well and have even sailed on the boat several times. with a v berth and smallish cabin, she scoots right along. after google research, she doesn' t seem to have been made for very long, if only one year - 1982. her target market seems to be for the casual racer who wants to sleep below. i think she is faster than a buccaneer of same length or a u20. i know the boat is immaculate, i can see my reflection in the gelcoat. i' m not too savvy on other aspects of her, but all the parts are there, trailer included, and even some extras. the owner takes care of things! he' s a good friend so i can verify this (i hope he doesn' t check this forum out... might be a little strange). i' ve got a laser and an hobie 16 w / traps. i' ve been fantasizing about a build, but all advice says
i co - owned a us 27 with my brother for quite a few years. generally they are a good boat. the windows tend to leak, but are easily sealed. we found the construction to be better than anticipated. as to sailing ability. the boat sails beautifully. we had her on lake erie for over 3 years and sailed in some very rough conditions. we had no trouble when other boats were being damaged due to the conditions. the boat points higher than most and sails with a very light helm. the bad rep bayliner had due to the buccaneer line unfortunately followed undeservingly to the us yacht line. in my opinion they are much better built than the hunters of the time, equal to the catalinas. if you can get one for a descent price get one. one thing, the cockpit is a little small, but because of this they have the best interior rivaling most boats up to 32'' long. by the way i currently sail a us 21. pearson did build exactly the same boat for 1 year, identical down the fabric used in the iterior. here is a url for the pearson version. urltoken

we are thinking of buying a 1982 us yachts - 27 footer as our first sailboat. i have done a lot of
looking
on the internet for information, but have not been able to find information on that particular year. i know the buccaneer series were built in the 1970'' s, but when i read descriptions about them, they do not match up to the boat we are looking at. does anyone have any information on us yachts - 1982? the asking price is $ 9, 900 and the boat looks to be in great shape (so far !) thanks for any info !
i am no expert on the subject, but i was looking at a us yacht boat once. the guy told me that pearson bought out the remaining us yacht hulls when the company went under in the early eighties. hope that helps .
i owned and sailed a us27 for 10 years on the chesapeake. if you want to email me for more info feel free donsadler17 @ cs. com. 7. 5 volvo penta has sail drive performed well, parts should still be available. i didnt care for the water pump impeller being in the lower unit. i changed the impeller every second year, just to be sure. would have to pull boat if the waterpump went out during season .
i have a us27, love the boat, currently upgrading the interior, put in new stove and replaced all the cabin lights with upgraded fixtures. the us27 is my 4th boat and i really like it, lots of room for a 27, lots of old school wood in the cabin. with a hand laid hull it is pretty strong, but like all us yachts i have been challenged with window leaks. the aux power is a 8hp honda outboard. by all respects it is a fun boat to sail and given proper care it should last a good long time. as i recall the us27 was only in production for about 3 years. gk

anyone have an opinion about the us yacht 27 footers... . i' m looking at one also ...
i have owned a us yacht 33 for the lats 4 years and love it. i was looking for a catalina 30 when i came across my 33. very roomy interior and sails great and is much better equipped than the catalina 30s i saw. i am currently looking for a mast and boom for my 33. does anyone know where i might find these ?
new poster on an old dead thread... likely frowned upon but i need some real advice. i bought a cherry us yachts 21 last summer. cherry aside from the lifting dagger. i' m looking for some repair advice. i realize i might be barking up the wrong tree, or perhaps a tree that has long since fell over. it' s worth a try. thanks, bigfork .
us 21? i thought they only made a 22? i learn something new every day. i know of us 18 us 22 us 25 us 27 us 30 us 33 gets fuzzy from there, but i know they made a pilothouse, in a 42? my bad, i see they made the 21. this is the boat i was thinking of

your first trailer - sailer for 1 / 3 the price of an equivalent build (unless you have many parts lying around and have a penchant for misery) .
i guess i' m just looking for somebody who is familiar with the model of boat and can help shore up my confidence in the purchase. as i said before, i know she scoots right along and would be a great addition to my fleet. plus, the mrs and i could overnight for the weekend. anyone have one of these, rode on one, or capable of speaking on the model' s behalf... tall order, i know .
yep, she' s a not a bad boat and she was later built and called the triton 21 .
her lifting keel (only 200 pounds) worked though if not in good repair can have issues. she can display all the issues of boats built in this era .
i do know of one minor issue. the board she has now is not the original. the boat was once on her side and the dagger pin wasn' t in. the 200 lb board came out of the top with force and straight to the bottom. when sailing, we' ve had a bit of a hassle getting the new board to go down. it takes some wet lube and a firm stomping from the foot. the thought was that the parts that are a little tight would eventually rub off and the board would move with more ease. eventually the board will seat and the pin installed, but it can be a task. my friend has put no real effort into solving the tight spots, just dealt with the initial wrestling match. would something non - toxic like olive oil work to grease the skids? a squirt bottle with olive oil seems like an easy solution. would there be any bad effects to the inside of the dagger sleeve ?
- - the boat has all 3 sails in fine shape with a tattered e - bay storm jib .
- - stored under cover for last 5 years and it shows! can comb your hair in the reflection on her belly .
- - has minkota and deep cycle batteries (cabin wiring might be a little dodgy as most 30 - - year old boats seem to be... no biggy, just a redo. )
asking price is 3000 $. when i look on craigs list or e - bay for a similar vintage or size, 3k buys you a turd that
sail and certainly needs tlc. likely no trailer or some other deal - killer. i know this boat is in fine shape. 3k seems fair and even a deal when compared to the others i see out there. plus, it' s 10 miles from home! i don' t have to travel to get it !
without having the boat in front of me, it' s difficult to tell, but i' m leery of 30 + year old boats with a shinny buff job, as i' m inclined to think the buff is just to distract you from the real issues. i would think in your area, he' s pretty much over a barrel, that you' ve brought with you. not many folks will spend 3k on a 30 year old, less than mainstream pocket yacht, so offer 2k and see where the deal goes. the real question is, will the purchase price be worth it to you. lastly buying a boat from a friend is often a problem, so pick your poison carefully .
where did the time go? they were an inexpensive boat at the time, and most boats of the era, even the expensive ones, have had their share of problems. check it carefully, and by all means sail it. they were a light boat, but not really light for a racer, and seemed to me to be under ballasted - in morc righting tests, they did not have any reserve. a modern foil with a bulb would change their performance and righting moment for the better .
imo, the sails, motor and trailer would all have to be in very good condition to bring 3k, even to a friend .
they were fairly light on an 18' lwl, but as bruce mentions, not exceptionally so. similar racer / cruisers, would be a few hundred more pounds on an 18' lwl. the real key figure that stands out is her sa / d and ballast ratio. her firmish bilges standup to her nearly 25 sa / d, but she' s over powered quickly, as you' d imagine a second generation ior with barely a 12% ballast ratio. the only one i know that was actively campaigned carried internal ballast, as she needed to be reefed pretty early other wise .
i don' t think a bulb could be placed on that inclined board - it would just bind and jam at that angle, without major surgery (winch, rollers or high modulus plastic slides, etc .). i do think she could use and would benefit greatly from a significant increase in ballast. typical racer / cruisers of the era would carry several hundred pounds of ballast. at 40% , she' d need nearly another 500 pounds, but if this was all in a bulb and the rig could take the moment increase, well then ...
thank you for all the comments. the model is fairly rare; doesn' t seem to be that many around. the 2nd previous owner to my friend puttered around with 3 different variations of the us 21 since the mid 80' s. he really likes them !
about the under - ballast part... i too have thought this! i' m not super savvy on boat engineering terms but i do have a basic understanding of the forces as work. i did have to look up
sa / d
to see what it meant. i' ve sailed on this exact boat maybe 10 times over the last 5 years. when she gets overpowered, she heels hard, rudder cavitates, and she rounds up. those events would tell us to reef... we almost never left the dock reefed though, just waited for a knock over before getting to it
how do people add weight under the floor? whatever is used must be set firm so as not to bang about and do damage under the floor... maybe sandbags or other
soft
weight? ?
i' m going to talk to the 2nd owner going back and see why he likes them so much... enough to have owned several. i know the sails are like new, trailer is decent but could likely use a bearing job (i can do that easy enough )
what about the deck and hull? i am considering this boat, and would like to know where to look for bad core (if any. )
i know this may sound a little crude, but on a small light boat, the loads are low enough that there are only a few critical areas. the rest
can
be about as stiff as an inflatable and not make very much difference, but should be factored into the price .
check the high load areas - around the forestay / bow deck and hull, chain plates, mast step inside and on deck, board and trunk, and rudder attachments. also check where the trailer supports the hull, mis - loading or over loading (from standing water and such) can also cause damage that may not be worth repairing. in florida, ice damage should not be much of an issue, but can destroy a boat in one winter in northern areas .
that' s a great point. still, that stuff has to be fixed at some point .
loads are relative and though seemingly low, particularly compared to other craft, typical engineering details address these loads with similarly seemingly skimpy scantlings .
for example the shroud chainplates may only need to support twice the displacement of the vessel in a severe knock down and the working strength of the
weak link
may be 2. 5 to 3 times the displacement, perfectly tolerable with a margin, but the backing plate and laminate also will be sized to this expected load / margin and may very well fail in an unanticipated event, such as a swell driving the boat into a wharf .
just because the loads may be modest, doesn' t mean they can' t be exceeded and that the scantlings and laminate schedule are equally sized .
simply put, small craft generally are simple structures, so there' s less to look at, but these areas are none the less as important as a larger, more complex structures. since you' re having difficulty with some portions of an inspection, it would be wise to have the boat surveyed or at the very least, to bring along someone that is quite familiar with these types of boats .
the boat was constructed by two different companies. is anyone familiar with build quality variations ?
i don' t understand your question? there are lots of differences between a
low end
build and a
high end
and they are usually obvious once you glance around the deck of a small production sailboat. a classic example of a low end build will have deck hardware through bolted, but just fender washers under the deck, while a high end build will have an inert backing plate, bedding oozing out all around and still some fender washers under the same fasteners .

as i recall, there were really two generations of these. the first were sort of mega trailererables which had shoal fixed keels and super high freeboards. sort of looked like puffer fishes. there were the ones that gave them a' bad' rep, but i' m not inclined to pile on since i met a family who had cruised the islands including cuba and a good chunk of the us on a 25. i think a lot of it had to do with looks. the second generation boat, which this one looks like, had some name designers and were very contemporary. they even had a 1 / 4 and 1 / 2 tonner under the ior rule as i further recollect. so, my point is that it' s certainly worth considering, but should be looked over just like any older used boat. i believe the second generation boats had nice gear on them at that time too. rick d .
her lines look pretty nice to me. how could you knock it if the components are in good condition and higher quality. bayliners are very popular among the powerboat crowd because they are priced right .
but that boat looks like she is in really fine condition. somebody may have put in a lot of care and made improvements already. william, have you seen the boat in person yet ?

a friend had one several years ago, it had a nice hot water heater. the best thing that hapened to it was it got totaled by another boat !
like almost all of them, it was cored with balsa below the water line which also meant it had a rotten core below the water line. i have a spare rudder for a 24' bucc, if anyone needs one, the rest of the boat was killed in wilma in its slip... with the really shallow draft, it was a good boat to learn on though ...
this one looks like the model that us yachts took over from. i think the first
buccaneers
were due to the cost of fuel in the 70' s and there wasn' t much design to them (the ones with the million ports). this one became the us yachts which the built in 22', 25', 27', and a 30 something. it is an ok first or second boat for protected water .
i owned a us yachts 25 for 8 years. i sailed her on sf bay (which is not protected water). never had any problem with the boat in those 8 years. the deck was cored with plywood in the high stress areas, and the hull was a solid laminate. i know the hull was not cored because i installed the speedo and depth transducers myself. there was no coring anywhere in the hull. i bought the boat new in 1981 and she is still sailing the bay. she rated 210 sf bay phrf and generally would sail to that rating. she was indeed designed by doug peterson. if that boat is in good shape, deck solid, no damage at the keel to hull joint, i would buy it if the price was right. later the molds were sold to pearson yachts and were made by them for awhile. going by the color scheme on the boat you' re looking at, it could be a peason built us 25. the us yachts built boats were an off white color and my' 81 model was off white with beige gel coat on the topsides. the pearson built one were pure white. rodney s / v sashay sf bay
innovative new product made of flexible, laser cut stainless steel. must see !
i found some more info about the us yacht boats online, which indicates it is a nifty craft. here are some owner reviews of the us yacht 27, a us yachts owners group, and a yacht information gallery that provides some rigging and layout info .
she has a beam of 9ft 3in, weights around 8, 000 pounds and would require a special permit to haul it on the highways. i have attached a few pictures and what data i have about her, i am the third owner. the pictures are of a sister ship, but it is the identical boat. all the sails have been recut and a brand new selden roller - furling was installed prior to lay - up, i never had the chance to use it. the genoa is a 150% sail and really moves her along quit well by it self. the sailcover is new and she sports a bimini, could use a dodger to extend the season. the bilge cover sole pieces are bad; however, i have new teak sole already cut to size and was in the process of installing them before i became ill .
she has been on dry land since 2002; however, every system worked at the time of lay - up. i have been over to check on her several times, and just this past weekend as well. she needs some cleaning on the inside, but all of the cushions (which have been cleaned), sails, sailcover, anchor rode and chain have been stored in my garage, along with a full compliment of life vests .
she has been a great boat for my wife and i and very dependable. she brought us home in the worst storm to hit the chesapeake bay in 50 years (the wind and waves capsized and sank a 65 ft skipjack). i was not out there by choice i can assure you. we had the genoa only up in order to beat against the wind, driving rain and 8 ft waves, but she brought us home .

look for rot in the sole, interior structure, and the bulkheads. hull is not cored, nice for durability but makes it heavy .
gary mull hull? who told you this because it sounds awfully unlikely. the 29' buccaneer that looks like a real sailboat is supposedly based on a peterson design, although i heard that peterson never got paid, they just modified a hull enough to avoid legal issues. i would guess that' s the case with the 25 as well. but the 25 is a pig .
ain' t gettin into it again, but it is. (a few of their models were apparently cribbed off others according to unsubstantiated innuendo and rumor .) search around and find pics of the ranger 22, then the us22 and us25. ignore the decks, look at the hulls and foils. astounding similarity. then ask bob perry about it. and duck... .
thanks, i will look for the trouble spots. slower, it will race ph. anyone know what it may rate? ugler... yea maybe... for the price it cannot be beat for a day sailor out of waikiki. i like the deep cockpit with a three year old son .
in all fairness to the us 25 - it has decent interior volume for a 25' boat; a workable cockpit and a reasonable underbody somewhat resembling the hull of a peterson 1 / 4 tonner. they typically rate 6 - 8 secs slower than a san juan 24, with a much larger, more modern interior .
if optimized and well sailed (few are) they can be competitive. build quality, if reasonably well preserved, is passable. generally for the amount of money you can pick one up for, assuming it' s not water logged, they are great value and a good entry level boat. just don' t buy one without a survey .
someone i know bought one 2 weeks ago for $ 2200 on a trailer. average condition, needs some elbow grease and upgrades. can' t beat it for that price !
sailing, racing, working on boats, talking about sailing, reading about sailing, drinking beer while sailing... .
have a good look at the deck for compression under the mast. water rots out the wood and the deck concaves. its a problem with the us 27 and 30' s too .
we had one of the us25' s at our club one time (the owner gave my j / 24 a tow once when we needed it. nice guy .). anyway, a fairly nice looking boat. as i recall it had a pretty tall rig on it. may not have been original. this guy was a racer. that particular us25 surprised me with it' s looks and rig. as i say, may not be original, but if you got yours inexpensively then it' s probably a fine boat .
i had a good look at her today. very clean. the current owner took great care of her and had a deck cover in place to stop water leaks. it look like it has a j24 rig. no rust on the keel bolts or the chain plates. bulkheads show no water damange. i will take her for a sail tomorrow morning. it should be trades, 10 - 15kts .
thanks for the great advise. i sailed her this morning in 8 - 15 off waikiki. it is the deep keel and it was very tender. outside of a set of sails and updating the hardware it is ready to play .

be sure to check it. it' s not cheap to build a replacement. i know few of them have suffered strcutural failure due to inadequate initial build quality / strength .
i just bought one of those from a guy on my dock who was moving and could not sell it. fixed it up and now am selling. sailed it last weekend for the first time. wow is it slow, and i think a mac26x without the board down would point higher.
