	Wayfarer (dinghy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wayfarer is a wooden or fibreglass hulled Bermuda rigged sailing dinghy, often used for short sailing trips as a 'day boat'.
		This was the original wooden Wayfarer designed for construction by both amateur and licensed builders, with a hull and deck made from plywood.
		The Wayfarer World was introduced in 1997 and was designed as a collaboration between Ian Proctor and his son Keith.

	Yachting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These days, yacht racing and dinghy racing are common participant sports around the developed world, particularly where favourable wind conditions and access to reasonably sized bodies of water are available.
		Dinghy races are conducted on sheltered water on smaller craft, usually designed for crews of between one and three people.
		Dinghy designs vary from small, stable, and slow craft for novice sailors to lightweight, high-speed designs that are very difficult for even experienced crews to sail safely and effectively.

	UK Boatlinks: Dinghy sailing
		The Dinghy Cruising Association is dedicated to the art and science of dinghy cruising - using a small boat under sail or power to explore the backwaters, cross seas and oceans, camp in splendid isolation or with others, cruise at leisure or make fast passage.
		The Wayfarer dinghy was designed by Ian Proctor in 1957 and has since acquired an unrivalled reputation as a tough and seaworthy cruising dinghy, yet at the same time being responsive and rewarding to race.
		The wayfarer is the ideal dinghy for beginners could also learn to sail, day-sail with the children, Cruise to adventure (some Wayfarer sailors tackle journeys 'big boat' cruisers would be wary of!), and race with spinnakers, at your local club or at open, national and international events with one of the most competitive fleets around.

	HOSTELLERS SAILING CLUB - Wayfarer dinghy
		The Wayfarer was designed in 1957 by Ian Proctor as a robust dinghy suitable for racing and general purpose sailing, including sailing on fairly exposed waters such as open estuaries.
		The popularity of the Wayfarer for this particular kind of sailing was established back in the '60s when Frank Dye made ledgendary dinghy cruises from Scotland to Iceland and Norway in the Wayfarer 'Wanderer'.
		The Wayfarer dinghy is 15'10" overall length, 6'3" in beam (width) and has a minimum permissible hull weight of 372lbs.

		It is a great all rounder and has acquired a reputation as a being tough and seaworthy cruising dinghy, yet at the same time being responsive and rewarding to race.
		Since the Wayfarer was originally designed there have been improvements in materials and production techniques which have lead to a variety of different versions all sharing the same hull shape and sail plan.
		The original Wayfarer was designed to be constructed in wood whilst later versions such as the Wayfarer World is made entirely in glass reinforced plastic (GRP).

	Hostellers Sailing Club - Dinghy cruising
		No one would pretend that a dinghy is as comfortable (or should we say less uncomfortable) as a yacht for long sea passages, although the trailability of a dinghy may allow a sea passage to be avoided in the first place.
		Most dinghies have, or should have, a rowing thwart and in many cases the clear height under this thwart is too little to permit sleeping on the bottom of the boat.
		Most dinghy cruisers sail within harbours and estuaries or within half a mile or so from the shore so do not need to plot a course on a chart or fix a position with multiple compass bearings, even if these were practical things to do on a small open boat.

	The Wayfarer Dinghy
		Possibly the most successful training boat ever, the Wayfarer has been fully developed and tested over the years to its current high level of refinement with different versions catering for peoples different requirements.
		An excellent training dinghy, the Wayfarer has also been proven beyond doubt to be the best small craft for cruising with a record of heroic trips from the UK to Scandinavia, Europe, around the Mediterranean and throughout North America.
		The Wayfarer is also one of the best supported racing classes in the U.K. with racing available at the majority of clubs, partly thanks to a competitive handicap.

	Wayfarer to Labrador
		The Wayfarer certainly wasn't the only small boat capable of making such a trip, but it was a proven design, and available in kit form, which meant we could have a new boat at a reasonable price.
		The dinghy can be recovered from a capsizing if there is sea room and if conditions will allow 20 to 30 minutes to dry out the boat.
		Occasionally, single-handed dinghy cruising requires taking a calculated risk, but in general, conservative sailing is required to pull off a long cruise.

	In Search of the Ideal Island Trail Cruiser
		They range from sailing pulling boats to adaptations of sailing dinghies set up for cruising - the Wayfarer dinghy for example or and such craft as the Sea Pearl, the various Drascombes, and the Dovekie, designed as sailing camp cruisers for two.
		Performance under oars of both dinghy adaptations and small camp cruisers is limited, so most owners use small outboards for auxiliaries.
		Dinghies and small daysailers like the Wayfarer, adapted for cruising, have far better sailing performance, can be slept in, but are miserable rowing boats.

		Stanley Harbour and Port William are good places to sail a dinghy for a day trip, but really Stanley is very badly placed for access to the better small boat cruising grounds.
		These days there is a reasonable road network (roads here would be classed as poor tracks in most developed countries) so it is possible to trailer a small boat to the cruising ground, spend a weekend or longer exploring, and trailer it back again.

	Prospect of Hoyle : : What's Normal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		In 2003, we owned a house on the Estuary near Shell Island in North Wales, and we had a Wayfarer dinghy on a mooring in the river.
		The problem was that by the time the dinghy had the covers off and was rigged and we'd got down the river and out to sea, we could only be out an hour or two before tide or exposure got the better of us.
		So we decided to swap the dinghy for a small cruiser which we could keep on the same mooring but would make it a good deal easier to go for a sail.

		This is Meander, a Wayfarer sailing dinghy purchased second hand by the HSC to replace Whimbrel, which was another Wayfarer dinghy which was purchased new by the HSC but which became a total loss after breaking up in high winds on a lee shore near Clacton.
		Merganser was purchased with a old outboard motor which soon died, but we never really needed it since these boats sail well even in light winds and they carry oars for when the wind fails completely.
		We have had some problems with this foredeck delaminating but it has been repaired and strengthened so should be ok now.

		The instructor asked us whether we thought we were at level 1 or 2 standard, not knowing what this actually meant we obviously plumped for level 2 and joined our other classmates for a quick brief on what we would be doing before we hit the water.
		The new space is based on the amount of use the boat had been getting over the past year and considering that the guy sold us 2619 as he couldn't get to sail her you can imagine we've dipped out on the parking space front.
