Wayfarer

[Sailfree]

Went to LIBS last night and dissappointed that the racing version of the wayfarer was not on display only a Wayfarer World.

Quality of hartleys work appears excellent.

I know they are trying to reduce the quantity of water they come up with after a capsize. I assumed an obvious move would be to box in the fron seats making additional buoyancy tanks.

Decided to wait and see 1st racing boat when available.
