Wayfarer · Skipper Mark Davey · East Coast, UK
Seaworthy, fun and good for adventure.
What should a buyer know?
Check the structure is sound. She’s an older boat, so look her over properly before you buy.
Make sure the engine works!
Why I bought her
She was in good condition, ready to sail and perfect for exploring the rivers of the East Coast.
Where she shines
She’s easy to launch, recover and tow. I feel safe at sea in her, and she’s great for introducing friends to sailing.
Adventures
Sailing off Southwold sometimes feels like the Southern Ocean, but my biggest trip so far was to Lundy.
