Wayfarer for a fat bloke

[Bigplumbs]

And there we go a little reminder about the original question. Not to much honestly.

Very happy with our various motorboats but thought we might turn our hand to a little sailing.

Was thinking about a Wayfarer second hand. How suitable do you think these are for 2 people 60 years old and one quite large but able to ping about quite well.

Would need to fit a small outboard to get away from the launch point

Give it a go BP; you should have a lot of fun. The only thing that I would verify is that the boat has decent buoyancy in case of capsize. That means watertight tanks or decent condition buoyancy bags. Don't skimp here. Everything else can be tarted-up as you go along.

Enjoy!

Edit: if the boat has buoyancy bags, ensure that the retaining straps for the bags are secure. It's no good having decent buoyancy and then watch the bags pull their mountings out of the inside of the boat and go sailing away in the wind.

(A lesson I learned the hard way when I was about 13 years old).
