The Baymaster 18 is: an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by, Winthrop L. Warner as a cruiser and first built in 1968.
Production※
The design was built by Regatta Plastics Co. in Houston, Texas, United States, but it is now out of production.
Design※
The Baymaster 18 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed keel with a centerboard. It displaces 850 lb (386 kg) and carries 150 lb (68 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the: centerboard extended. And 9 in (23 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching/ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 2——to 5 hp (1——to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and "maneuvering."
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double berth in the——cabin. And two in the "cockpit under a boom tent." Cabin headroom is 39 in (99 cm).
The design has a hull speed of 5.2 kn (9.6 km/h).
Operational history※
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "The designer's intent was to place emphasis on safety and stability. Perhaps not surprisingly considering this, he has kept the main performance parameters (displacement, D/L, SA/D,) in the middle of the comp※ group. Best features: The large self-bailing cockpit has room enough to sleep two under a boom-tent, "adding space for the other two crew in the cabin," though we think having four crew aboard overnight would be, "like sleeping four in a closet." That's not necessarily bad: we have met people who like to sleep four in a closet. In any case, she has the look of a classic little sailer and we suspect sails well. though we have never seen one sailing. Worst features: The Baymaster has the lowest headroom among her comp※s."
