The Wayfarer is a 16-foot sailing dinghy, available in both wooden and fiberglass hulls, and features a fractional Bermuda rig. Renowned for its versatility, the Wayfarer is ideal for learning to sail, racing, cruising, and even for use as a rowboat or motorboat. Some sailors even use their Wayfarer for overnight camping, making it a great option for extended adventures on the water.
Since its design in 1957, the Wayfarer has undergone several updates to its deck layouts, but the hull shape and sail plan have remained consistent, maintaining its legacy as a reliable and adaptable dinghy.
