Buccaneer 210

The buccaneer 210 is a 20.83ft masthead sloop designed by alan payne/bayliner and built in fiberglass by bayliner (buccaneer/us yachts) since 1974..

The Buccaneer 210 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. There is a very short water supply range.

Review of Buccaneer 210

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Buccaneer 210 is equipped with a long keel. A full keel provide a better directional stability than a similar boat with a fin keel; on the other hand, better directional stability means also that the boat is more difficult to handle in a harbour with less space.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.61 - 0.71 meter (2.00 - 2.30 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Buccaneer 210 is 2.22, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 5.7 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Buccaneer 210 is about 91 kg/cm, alternatively 511 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 91 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 511 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio)?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 9m 2 (96 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Buccaneer 295 and 305

From powerboat builder bayliner, these two boats are very different in design and very similar in construction. the 295 is an outdated ior design and the 305 a high-sided, shoal draft cruiser that makes too much leeway..

buccaneer 210 sailboat

Remember the energy crunch of the mid-1970s? When Arab oil-producing countries moved to embargo oil shipments to the US, Japan and western countries and caused severe shortages? It was called the “energy crisis,” and it hurt industry. Families felt it as well when they couldn’t buy enough gas to fill their automobile tanks. To save fuel, the government tried to impose Daylight Saving Time year round.

The crisis effected the boating industry as well, more the builders of powerboats than sailboats. A few of them, including giant Bayliner of Everett, Washington, got the bright idea of starting up a line of sailboats. Soon they were under construction at three locations, in Valdosta, Georgia, Pipestone, Minnesota, and Arlington, Washington. Bayliner’s first boats in 1975 were, well, not the best looking or sailing boats ever built. These included the Buccaneer 210, 240, 270 and 320, all high-sided like layer cakes. In addition to increased windage from the high freeboard, the boats had shoal draft—24″ on the 210, 30″ on the 240. The combination resulted in boats that made a lot of leeway and didn’t point very well. At the big end of the line was the Bill Garden-designed Buccaneer 305 that, while a better-looking boat, also suffered from the same problems.

Buccaneer 295 and 305

To improve the sailboat line, the Buccaneer Yachts division of Bayliner obtained some hulls designed by Doug Peterson. In this review, we look at the Buccaneer 305 by Garden (1976) and the Buccaneer 295 (1978) by Peterson. They are quite different in design but the same construction materials and methods were applied to each.

Later, Bayliner changed the name of its sailboat line from Buccaneer to US Yachts, and molds for some of the latter were bought by Pearson Yachts in the 1980s in a desperate attempt to save itself from bankruptcy. Pearson changed the name again to Triton, hoping to capitalize on the solid reputation of its groundbreaking Carl Alberg design of the same name, but this economy line of retreads failed to catch on and Pearson closed its doors in 1991.

Design The 295, according to one source, was a three-year-old design when Buccaneer brought it into production in 1977. Intended to compete under the IOR rule, the bow is very fine and the stern pinched. The transom is a small triangle. This type of boat tends to go upwind better than off the wind, and a deep keel with high aspect ratio is certainly one of the reasons. The 295 draws 5′ 7″. We don’t have lines drawings for the canoe body, but the displacement/length ratio of 206 suggests a fairly shallow hull, and typical of IOR designs, there is a sharp tuck in the buttocks. The tall, double-spreader rig has a sail area/displacement ratio of 16.6. Together, these two numbers indicate a boat that should move fairly quickly.

The 305 is quite the opposite in the above respects. Both bow and stern are quite full, providing additional cockpit space aft and plenty of room for handling ground tackle forward. The toerail is wide and raised forward, making what you almost might call a bulwark; this adds security when changing sails or handing the anchor. Draft is shallow at 4′ 0″. The displacement/length ratio is 247 and the sail area/displacement ratio is 15.9. The keel has a large cutaway forefoot so that the leading edge of the keel is almost amidships. It has a flat run aft and then angles up into a small skeg. The spade rudder extends aft of the transom.

Construction Long one of the world’s largest builders of boats, Bayliner has extensively researched and developed construction techniques to minimize man-hours yet produce a boat of reasonable quality. But we found several areas in which the Bayliner/Buccaneer method falls short of accepted practice.

Both the 295 and 305 are hand laid-up of alternate layers of woven roving and strand roving. In some areas, the laminate may be thin enough to cause oilcanning in large unsupported areas such as the forward topside sections adjacent to the V-berth. One surveyor’s report said of strand roving, “While strand is usually indicative of chopper gun construction techniques the length of the filament in this strand suggests that it couldn’t have been sprayed.” He called the standards to which the 305 was built as “fair,” and the 295 as “good.”

Why the difference? One significant area is in the hull/deck joint. On the 305, the hull/deck lap is fastened with self-tapping screws on 6″ centers. The seam is filled with silicone and covered by an aluminum mounting strip for the rubrail. On the 295, the deck laps the hull and is fastened with through-bolts on 4″ centers. It is glassed over on the inside and covered by an anodized toerail on the exterior. Through-bolts, which require two persons to install, are preferred over self-tapping screws, which can loosen over time, but can be installed by one person.

Buccaneer 295 and 305

Bayliner stepped up quality on the 295 in another area, and that is in the use of backing blocks to distribute loads on lifeline stanchions, bow and stern pulpits. The 295 has backing plates here; the 305 doesn’t. Unfortunately, neither has backing plates on most other deck hardware. Without them, cracks in the fiberglass deck may result when, say, a heavy load is placed on a cleat, or someone on a dinghy or dock pulls on a stanchion to assist in boarding.

End-grain balsa and plywood were both used for deck coring in Buccaneer boats.

The original companionway drop (or “weather”) boards are thin. A good upgrade would be to widen the channels and build more substantial drop boards.

The overhead liners are foam-backed vinyl, which also may require replacement at some time. The 295’s interior hull sides have 1/8″ plywood stained to look like planking.

Secondary bonding of components to the hull, such as bulkheads, is generally good, as is the quality of gelcoat work.

Both the 295 and 305 have deck-stepped masts with 9-1/2″ aluminum compression posts that sit on either the keel (295) or on an athwartship wooden beam (305). On the 305, the double lower shrouds fasten to chainplates mounted on the sides of the trunk cabin, through-bolted to wood blocks inside. The upper shrouds fasten to external chainplates in the topsides of the hull, which are through-bolted to teak backing blocks. On the 295, the single upper shrouds, lower shrouds and intermediate stays share the same chainplates, through-bolted to reinforced bulkheads. There also is a babystay that attaches to a fore and aft track on the foredeck; unfortunately, the through-bolts have no backing plates. Running backstays were provided.

Buccaneer 295 and 305

The original upholstery and trim had a definite 70’s look but these are upgrades that owners usually make every so many years anyway.

Accommodations While both boats are roughly 30′, there is a substantial difference in space below, mostly due to the 305’s huge transom and wider bow. Both have a conventional V-berth forward, head with hanging locker, dinette and opposing settee in the saloon, and small portside galley. But in the starboard quarter the 305 has a large double berth whereas the 295 has just a quarter berth. Both have small nav tables; to work at them, one sits on the edge of a berth.

The size difference also shows up in headroom. The 305 has generous headroom in the saloon that’s alternately listed as 6′ 2″ or 6′ 5″, 6′ in the head. The 295 has just 5′ 11-1/2″ in the saloon, 5′ 6″ in the head. The 305 has a real dearth of handholds; not so the 295.

The 295 has a bridge deck at the same height as the cockpit seats. The 305 has only a 6″ lip to keep water in the cockpit out of the cabin. A bridge deck, of course, is much safer in rough conditions; in addition to doing a better job of keeping water out of the cabin than a drop board that may leak around the sides or float out of its channels, a bridge deck also reduces the volume of water that can collect in a cockpit (and as a bonus it opens up space below). One owner wrote, “She has a smaller cockpit than most 30s, and a tiny companionway and hatch, but I don’t understand not building in a bridge deck.”

Performance Without question, the 295 is a superior performer. Its deep keel and lean hull form make upwind sailing a pleasure. Not so the 305, whose high sides and shallow keel make too much leeway.

The owner of a 1979 model 295 in New Jersey rated speed, seaworthiness, stability and balance as above average. Most call it a fun and exciting boat to sail. On the other hand, owners of the 305 rate speed as below average to average but are kinder in their descriptions of the boat’s seaworthiness and stability. One owner said, “In moderate air going dead to windward we lag behind, but in any wind conditions with the apparent wind 50° or above we walk all over Catalina and Islander 30s and Hunter 31s. She is heavy enough to carry much more sail than the newer hot rods.”

Buccaneer 295 and 305

Indeed, the beam reach will be the 305’s best point of sail whereas the 295’s will be upwind—many IOR boats weren’t known for great handling under spinnaker.

The 295 was fitted standard with a 13-hp. Volvo two-cylinder MD7A diesel with tankage for 12 gallons of fuel. The 305 seems to have been delivered with several Volvo diesels from 25 to 35 hp. and between 42 and 50 gallons fuel capacity. Both have aluminum fuel tanks with vents and are grounded, but without shut-off valves. Owners of the 305 state she goes where she wants in reverse; a number have fitted three-blade propellers to help cure the problem.

Conclusion The 295 and 305 are very different boats, with the former being best suited today as a club racer and the latter as a comfortable coastal cruiser. Construction of the 295 is superior in a number of ways but based on design and overall construction we do not consider either to be offshore boats.

These factors, on top of outdated design (295) and mediocre sailing performance (305) have taken their toll on the boats’ resale values. The Price History chart above shows how interest in these boats has nosedived over the years. Current BUC Research Used Boat Price Guide figures for the 295 are down near $10,000 and around $15,000 for the 305. In comparison, 1979 Pearson 30s and Tartan 30s are valued at about $20,000, and a 1979 Catalina 30 just a bit less at $18,950. Still, a well-maintained Buccaneer at a fair price may be an attractive deal…if you can live with its idiosynchracies in design and shortcomings in construction.

I’m having my Buccaneer 305 surveyed and checked for structural problems–cored hull, standing rigging, etc. It’s served our family well for 40 years. Do you remember if the chainplates are bolted into the varnished teak boards inside the cabin? Or are the teak boards ornamental to cover the fasteners.

Also, the forestay chainplate does not extend down the stem of the hull as on most boats. Has that been a problem?

We just gunkhole around Puget Sound and I am conservative with canvas.

Any thoughts?

the teak boards are just a hollow cover.

Thanks. So is there wood backing under the teak?

Also, is the sea strainer like buried in the keel somehow?

just saw this, sorry… they have steel backing plates with 4 bolts. the lower one in the middle has a steel backing plate and that is on top of a wooden plate.

seacock for the engine is in the bilge area in the galley, is that what you meant? the keel by the mast has just a shallow bilge, any other seacocks are under the settees.

How are the 1982 US 35 that were derived from the Cooper 353?

Boat: Luger, 16 foot
on the right now.

The first is a buccaneer 210 for $400 OBO
It comes with a that is functional, but needs clean-up, a , is all present and functional, standing that may be usable, and the exterior finish on the appears to be in decent shape. (Maybe a buffing and clear- coat to shine it up.)
It has no boom no , no . The windows have been removed.
Overall, it is a but appears to be a good solid , from pics and description. It needs a total gut and refinish inside and out.
I've read a lot of hype online about buccaneers. Basically I've determined they are slow and fast, ugly and pretty, terrible and great.
Sorting through it all, it seems they are slow with cheaper , but roomy for the size.
Resale value is lower due to the negatives associated with the name, but the extra room might be a selling plus for a small looking for some casual KY lake sailing. The is another plus.

The second is a Venture 22 for $850.
This boat comes with , boom, , , porta-pot, a decent , sink, table, some , hardware, and railing intact.

I do not know the condition of standing , but the needs a complete strip and refinishing. (Looks like someone did a poor job of painting over the original gel-coat.)

The inside needs and probably a thorough gutting/rebuild.

Initial searches did not turn up the negative hype about these like I found on the buccaneer. The biggest complaint was that the bolt was prone to leakage.....a fixable problem assuming there is no major structural issues from misuse.

Negatives for me are that it has a deeper , and an inboard CB housing, reducing room.

Positives are that the deeper is also a swing , so if you hit something the keel will (or should,) give, the boat seems to have a better quality reputation, maybe a bit higher resale value, and I don't have to source new sales and boom.





Thoughts and comments on which of these might be the better candidate for a , casual lake/bay sailing, and eventual resale, would be greatly appreciated.
isn't an issue because I can afford either one. Obviously the $450 savings on the buccaneer is towards the , but I'm trying to weigh out the facts to see if that savings is warranted.

One plus to the buccaneer is that if it is a total flop, I could recoup the by scrapping or parting the mast, trailer, and hardware.

Thanks in advance!

and are easy. I started with a 1000 boat and am up to 3500 And it is worth 2500. You need to find what you like. If I was picking the venture would win hands down. It will be way cheaper in the long run and sails better. You don't have to jump on the first one you see. There are some great deals on boats nowadays. Good like and let us know what you end up with.

enclosure while not attractive is a good feature while you are at and camping. It is a high dollar add on. Make certain that while you are sailing there is a way to secure the poptop in its closed position. You don't want it coming up while heeling in a sudden gust.
If there is no rotten bulkheads below you will only have , bleach and polish to have a nice little weekend trailerable cruiser.

grease on the topsides than actual and as you and SkipperJohn note a couple of nice $$$ features.

The trailer looks in way better shape too.

I know it says "firm" on the but everything is negotiable. Offer $600?

Boats make no financial sense and I don't know how tight your finances are but even $350 price difference over 3 years of is $0.30 per day.

No brainer - the Venture.

BTW - The Buccaneer ad reads like the owner knows it is scrap - Make offer/haul away does not bode well. And it looks like the are missing? Money pit... <--- Click

1976 Bayliner Buccaneer 210

  • Description

Seller's Description

This is a SAILBOAT. A Little Big Boat a great starter boat for a sailing cruising boat. Has jib winches back stay adjuster galley port-a-potty V-berths Quarter berths folding saloon table etc. Sails and trailer included. Lots of storage space. 2’6” foot draft allows you to go almost anywhere fixed keel.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The hull for the BUCCANEER 200, 210, 240, and 245 all derive, in part, from the COLUMBIA 23-T. (Thanks to Craig Montague for supplying background information on Bayliner models.)

220 buccaneer

  • Add to quote

I’m looking for a sailboat to be used in the inland lakes in my area. And I have never owned a sailboat or really sailed one. So far I have looked at a couple of 1979 220 Buccaneer’s. People seem to love them or hate them. Is the boat of poor design or build? One of them looks to be in exceptionally good condition. New paint, interior, hardware, etc. But if it is of poor design I guess my search will go on. Lennie  

Lennie - I have a Buccaneer 220. I am very happy with it. It sails really close to point well, it is very stabil and reasonably comfortable for fiberglass. Mine is the racing model - which has the shorter keel. I find that this makes it handle better with a bit more speed than it does in a gentle breeze. I think the longer keel would change this, but I prefer to run fast and Lake Superior usually has good wind. As to popularity, I have had a number of people come up to me because they used to have one. I think every one of them wished they had it back!  

You DO know that this is a 10 year old post don't you?

I don't know this type of boat, but seems to be looking a lot like the Granada 23 from Denmark. The Granada 23 sails very well. Have attached a picture of one.

But wait. This is the Buccaneer 220 your talking about? Pretty sure the Buccaneer 220 is a Gary Mull design. Nothing to do with a Columbia 23. RB  

buccaneer 210 sailboat

Sono is right - Mull design, actually a variation on the Ranger 22 design. Bayliner "quality" is as described, US yacht not a lot better but lets keep in mind we're talking about a 22' here, not a blue water boat. I've personally never heard of anyone dying on a sinking B-22.

    1 post · Joined 2009. #12 · Apr 1, 2009. I recently bought a Bayliner Buccaneer 210, and we have been very happy with it. It seems to be in excellent shape for a 31 year old boat.
