Wayfarer History
„
„
The Wayfarer was originally designed
by Ian Proctor in 1957, and has since
gone through many new versions.
The first versions were wooden Mk1
designs, a large number of which are
still in use.
„
Fiberglass GRP versions first showed
up in the mid 60s
„
More than 12000 Wayfarers have now
been built.
„
A new version has just been released
in England.

With a double chine hull, the
Wayfarer is inherently very
stable and difficult to capsize.
A retractable rudder and
centerboard allows sailing in
shallow water and easy
beaching.
The Wayfarer is a “One
Design” class
„
„
„
This means that the
design is rigorously
maintained and
defended.
All ‘class’ boats must
adhere to strict
design parameters.
Modifications are not
allowed except as
permitted by class
rules.
This helps maintain
both the class
integrity and value of
the boats.
Totally
adaptable
„
„
„
The Wayfarer is an ideal day sailing / cruising dinghy or
racer that's exciting, dependable, and simple to sail.
The boat is easily handled by a crew of two and is often
sailed solo. However, a family of four or more can sail her in
comfort.
Her ability to make long, open-water passages has been
demonstrated many times. The large fore and aft watertight
buoyancy compartments accommodate everything needed
for a week long cruise.
The Wayfarer has strong

A Wayfarer is easy to move
from place to place..
Requires only
a ½ hour
from landing
at shore to
driving away
….even if you have no car!
You can easily get to Florida to
sail in the winter if you feel the
urge…
...but clean off
the salt before
you sail!
So decide - what kind of
fun you want…
Race?
Cruise and
Explore?
Or simply
getting
out with
the gang?
Whatever your choice –
the Wayfarer has what it takes to
provide your kind of fun!
