Hartley Wayfarer

Hartley Osprey

The Wayfarer is a high quality, hand-built G.R.P. dinghy suitable for all the family. At just under 16 foot this spacious dinghy can comfortably accommodate up to 6 adults.

Its excellent handling characteristics ensure that beginners quickly gain confidence and can also relax and have fun sooner. Meanwhile more experienced sailors can enjoy club racing or the challenges of the racing circuit.

The solid G.R.P. construction of the Mark IV provides good stiffness, long term durability and also very stylish lines. G.R.P. is easy to take care of which enables the Wayfarer to be maintained at a very high standard for many years.

The Wayfarer is a very versatile craft with a vast range of options for training, cruising and racing. In short, it can be rigged for one purpose and later re-rigged to meet your changing needs.

Asymmetric or Symmetric

The Wayfarer available with either asymmetric or symmetric (conventional) spinnakers. Originally intended for sailing schools the asymmetric spinnaker option is now available for all. It provides an exciting new dimension to this classic class. Asymmetric spinnakers are great fun and also very easy to use. They offer a great alternative for training and cruising and at club level you may be able to use an asymmetric spinnaker for local racing but they are not yet class legal for championship racing events.

Training boats are available in a variety of options which can include asymmetric or symmetric spinnakers or even both options in the same boat. They can have rear seats fitted or not and even a trapeze option. Also fit them out with masthead flotation to forestall inversion and all round bumpers to guard against bumps and scraped.

Design

Although updated in 2008 by Phil Morrison to take full advantage of modern design, manufacturing and building techniques, the Wayfarer has an unrivalled pedigree and has been one of the worlds safest and most popular sailing dinghies since it was first designed as an all round training, cruising and racing dinghy by Ian proctor in 1957.
