| The 16-foot
Wayfarer is a rugged, seaworthy boat which is also fun
to race. For over 40 years, more than 11,000
owners have found it an outstanding racing, cruising and
cottage day-sailing boat.
Watertight buoyancy compartments fore and aft make it easy to right the boat in the event of a capsize. Removable or built-in floorboards keep your feet dry. Buoyancy compartments provide storage space for food and camping equipment. Two can sleep comfortably on the wide, flat and dry floor of the boat under a tent supported on the boom. A small outboard motor can be fitted, and it's easy to lower the mast - even single-handed, to pass under bridges.
For day trips the large cockpit is comfortable for up to six people, with room left over for a picnic. For the more adventurous sailor, it's good to know the Wayfarer has crossed the North Sea from Scotland to Iceland, sailed up the east coast of North America from Florida to Nova Scotia and beyond, and circumnavigated Georgian Bay and Lake Ontario. The Wayfarer is easily towed, and rigging the boat is simple. You can be out sailing in half an hour or less. The
