Here is a video review from sail magazine. It was taped at the Newport, Rhode Island boat show, I believe in 2011.
Enjoy.

Some pictures of the Bayraider from Swallow Boats.
I like the dark blue color. Unfortunately, they do not seem to have a dark blue I like. They all seem to be royal blue in the sun! I actually ordered the Platinum hull color with a cream below the water line. Looks nice. This is the color of the boat I took my test sail on in Jan this year. Happy with the color choice. I was concerned I would pay for the dark blue color and would get a color different that I really wanted.
They sent me additional photos like the ones above, the boats above are in the shade, as these also looked a lot lighter color in the sun!
Now I just need to see if I can get the luff pocket for the gaff boom. Not able to get a straight answer on this yet.

I needed to sell my old boat to free up storeage space for the Bayraider. I posted on Craigs list. To my surprise, the boat sold in a week for my asking price. Well, not sure of my emotions today. They say that a boat owners happiest days are the day you buy and the day you sell. Well, I am not feeling that. Selling the boat is tinged with a little sense of loss? Many happy times and memories sailing this boat. It was the first boat I had actually owned. So, that probably has some sentimental value for me also. Ho well. I liked the person I sold it to and am sure he will also have many fun times sailing off of Long Beach, California.
Some photo's from a magical November day on Sail Bay, San Diego. Wind a constant 10mph. Temp approx 68 degrees. November in San Diego, 2011. A great sailing day.
I hope Mike, the new owner enjoys her as much as I did.
