Bayliner operated a sailboat division from 1970 until 1984. The Buccaneer Division of Bayliner produced sailboats under the brand names Buccaneer Yachts and United Sailing Yachts (US Yachts). The boats sold well though the 1973 oil crisis period, but the division was sold off to Pearson Yachts in 1984. Pearson continued producing the designs under the Triton name until that company went bankrupt in 1991.[3][4]
The largest boat built was the US Yachts US 42. Other boats built include the Buccaneer 200, Buccaneer 220, US Yachts US 25 and the US 22. The boat designs tended to emphasize interior accommodation over sailing qualities.[3]
