Santa Cruz 50 - Bay Wolf

Bay Wolf is one of the legendary Santa Cruz 50's.  These yachts were built for one thing - sailing fast in the ocean.  We looked for several years for a yacht that would be very fun to sail, fast and stable.  We found it in Bay Wolf.   We are thrilled.

 

With her previous owners, Bay Wolf, raced to Hawaii five times in both the Pacific Cup and the Transpac.  She has a brand new mast custom built by Buzz Ballenger with swept back spreaders that incorporates everything learned about the Santa Cruz 50's during the past 30 years.

 

Bay Wolf is a truly magnificent yacht.  Bay Wolf is very responsive, she accelerates quickly and handles beautifully.  In heavy air, her deep keel keeps her well balanced and in light airs she is sailing quickly, while other boats are standing still.

 

One measure of the Santa Cruz 50's performance is that Paul Cayard (one of the best sailors in the world - America's Cup skipper, Whitbread round-the-world race skipper) recently bought a Santa Cruz 50.  Paul Cayard had his choice of any yacht, new or used, in the world and chose a Santa Cruz 50 - a sistership to BayWolf.  You too can skipper a Santa Cruz 50.
