Nov 2014, now at Dorchester sailing Club, racing when the wind is too light for the Wayfarer. The hull is in good shape thanks to the previous owner, who had found it unsuitable for begining after restoring her.
She beats the Lasers ( except one pesky one ) in a light wind. Needs new sails.

For sale on FB Marketplace July 2024. Located near Reading.
Advert reads "£50 – a wooden hulled national 12 dinghy that needs a little TLC to get it sailing again. Worked on as a COVID project and sailed a number of times, but has since started taking on water and I no longer have time to finish the restoration as I am at Uni. Comes with: launch trolley, cover (almost new!), mainsail (good condition), jib, rudder, mast, boom, centreboard and all the rigging to go sailing".
