note to potential buyers:

a brief synopsis of the various Marks usually available in N.A.

The only Wayfarer versions (all quite acceptable with no serious flaws) you'll usually see in N.A. are as follows:
  • Mark I (all the wooden W's plus a lot of the early and recent glass W's): full height forward bulkhead and buoyancy compartment with hatch which makes it storage-accessible and great for extended cruising. Also sounds best going through waves, since all other versions have a storage shelf under the foredeck and have a greater or lesser degree of oil drum sound effects when the boat hits a big wave or two. Four floorboards, two per side to which there are pros and cons
  • Mark II (built in the US and Canada and the UK): aforementioned bow storage shelf - oil drum sounds but no discernible effect on performance, i.e. slight annoyance factor in waves but a fine motivator to sail waves efficiently! One long floorboard on each side.
  • Mark III (built by Abbott in Sarnia only): much like the Mk II but has permanent floor and self-bailers on the side - good for leaving on mooring as rain water will drain out through the bailers if these are left open. The permanent floor creates a buoyancy tank under the floor that has been known to make it hard to keep the boat upright when it's been re-righted after a capsize - to see my experience with this, click here

Al,

 
The boat needs a lot of work, but if someone needed parts (like a wooden mast) this would be a steal.
 
Take care,

beautiful, relatively new wooden Wayfarer for sale in North Carolina
10/14/2007 - Wayfarer W7978 -  Wooden Wayfarer W7978 - After a year of searching for the ideal boat for my wife and me to sail, and after another year of sailing the beautiful wooden Wayfarer that we found, I must unfortunately find another home for the boat. Some recent medical issues and changing life circumstances make it impractical for us to keep it.  It is an All-Bruynzeel mahogany boat, hull #7978, built by Nicholas Puryear of North Carolina from a kit, bought in 1983, when the kit company was owned by Tony Balding of Canada. It is fastened with stainless screws and WEST system epoxy, and all surfaces were WEST system epoxy sealed.
Before I bought the boat, it had not been in the water for five years, just stored in a garage on the trailer. Prior to that, the boat was sailed about a dozen times a year, though never in salt water. In the past year, I have sailed it about a dozen times in the lakes of upstate South Carolina.
The decks are bright and finished with Deks Olje instead of epoxy, per the kit company’s recommendations. The hull interior is WEST coated and varnished with Interlux Schooner for UV protection. The hull is painted black (Interlux). The sails are tanbark from North Sails, and include main, jib, and storm jib. No spinnaker. The spars are Proctor and rigged for a spinnaker, though I have no spinnaker pole. The trailer – old but still very serviceable – is by Long, with new tires and new bearing buddies. The boat is in excellent shape, with all Harken hardware and rigged for single-handed sailing.
I have also installed a nice-looking motor mount (detachable) after considerable research into the best way to do this on a Wayfarer. The offer includes boat, sails, trailer, extra hardware and rigging, life vests, and a fair number of miscellaneous items. I would also consider selling a brand new 2HP Honda outboard at a negotiated price above my asking price for everything else.  Asking $5000 firm (minus the motor).

I have posted photos of my woody on the following site: www.picasaweb.google.com/denkaymonk/woody.  You may ignore all of the other photos, or not depending on your curiosity.  The boat is located in Annapolis, MD.  It is in good shape, though with  a couple of patches[carefully repaired].  The new owner will undoubtedly want to do some refinishing to restore the deck to its original furniture-like appearance.   It has a Proctor mast and boom and complete set of sails.  It comes with a sturdy trailer.  It sails beautifully. It was built in 1985, and each part coated with West System epoxy.
  My wife is asking $3500, and I am asking $3000.
