The Bayfield 25 is a recreational keelboat built by the Bayfield Boat Yard between 1975 and 1984 in Bayfield, Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3][4][5]

Originally marketed as the Bayfield 23, in 1975 it was advertised as the Bayfield 23/25 and in 1976 as the Bayfield 25.[2]

Designed by Ted Gozzard, the fiberglass hull has a clipper bow with a bowsprit, wooden decorative trailboards on the bow, a keel-mounted rudder and a long shoal keel. Steering is by a tiller with a wheel optional.[2][3][6][5] It has a hull speed of 5.94 kn (11.00 km/h).[3]

Features include an anchor locker, internal halyards, a 4:1 aft mainsheet with a traveller, slab-reefing, jib tracks and two cockpit jib winches. A halyard winch was a factory option.[5]

Accommodation consists of a "V"-berth in the bow, twin settee berths and a starboard berth that runs under the vanity and locker. An alcohol-fired stove stores under the starboard berth, and an icebox is under the port side quarter berth.[7] The head is located on the port side and includes a 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) holding tank.[5] The cabin has 5' 9" headroom.[7] The cockpit is small.[8]

Originally produced with two cabin port lights per side, a third was added in 1984.[2]

It has a masthead sloop rig.
