I recently took possession of a 20-ft. Bayraider by Swallow Boats (Wales). This is a beautful ketch rig with a wood main, boom and jib boom and carbon fiber gaff and mizzen mast. Enough wood to look classic with all the modern conveniences. This looks like my almost ideal small boat. Nothing's perfect but this comes pretty close.
The import and licensing process were interesting. If anyone is interested in this boat I'd be happy to talk about my experience. There were several issues to resolve but the most significant problem was with the licensing bureaucrats.
I've sailed her a couple of times and am very, very happy with the boat.
