Jay Livingston, JP Mann will host at the Quannapowitt Yacht Club a one day event for folks returning from Hermit Island.  Who would not want to be able to say they have sailed at Quannapowitt?

Commodore’s Comments:

• As we are all aware, Jim Cook (W10873 Blackskimmer )  was killed last year in a boating accident on Lake Wylie SC.  He was struck by a power boater while rowing.  According to NC law this is a misdemeanor. Nancy Smith, Commodore of the Catawba Yacht Club has been working to get legislation passed that would have the penalty for such an accident at least be equal to that for a motor vehicle.  What she needs is support, mostly from North Carolina organizations and from Wayfarer sailors as well.  The forms will be posted online and should be returned to Nancy at [email protected]
• The purpose of the USWA is to promote Wayfarer sailing: cruising and racing.  Lake Eustis Sailing Club and Lake Townsend Yacht Club are excellent examples of growth.  In short, their success is due to very active and enthusiastic Wayfarer sailors, available boats, and active learn to sail and racing programs. Although the USWA has purchased boats in the past with both good and not so good results, we cannot afford to put them in every location where they would attract sailors.  What we can do is to help support owners who put boats in service at clubs.  We will be introducing a grant program to support owners to support their boats. The idea being to make sure the boats are as good as possible and the sailor who uses it has the best experience possible. We want to convert them to full \time Wayfarer owners.   More information will be posted online.

2024 Wayfarer Midwinters at Lake Eustis Sailing Club: Scores are Posted

Richard Storer Trophy for Top North American Wayfarer Sailor awarded to AnnMarie Covington

This is the first time a USA sailor has won this trophy which was inaugurated in 1978 to honor the top overall Wayfarer sailor in North America. AnnMarie was consistent by placing well in regattas with a high turnout of Wayfarers such as Mid-Winters, Mayor’s Cup, Hot, and the Jim Cook Memorial Regatta. Second place was captured by Canadians David Pugh, a four time winner of the trophy. He was followed by Jim Heffernan who place third, with Uwe Hein one point behind in the standings. Michigan Sailor Peggy Menzies rounded out the top five. For 2023 the results of 24 regattas on both sides of the border were used to determine the best 6 events to be scored for each North American sailor. Other USWA Wayfarer Skippers that cracked the top ten were Richard Johnson in sixth, Ali Kishbaugh in seventh, John Driver in eighth, and Andy Foreman in 10th. Well done to all of these fine helms and the many crew members who made it all possible by traveling to distant venues while still support local events. Written and submitted by Jim Heffernan.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The original plywood boat was available also, in kit form. (Small Craft Ltd.) Design updated by Phil Morrison in 2007. A modified version, the CL16 has been built in CANADA.

Hartley boats wayfarer cruiser ready to sail £13995 incl vat.

Specification

Length - 4.88m

Beam - 1.85m

Hull weight - 182.3kg

Max, Carrying Capacity - 6 People

Main sail Area - 8.83m2

Jib sail Area - 2.79m2

Genoa sail Area - 4.27m2

Spinnaker Area - 13.5m2

Why does Hartley Boats believe that the Wayfarer is the best 16ft (4.88m) dinghy in the world?  Simply because this is the most STABLE sailing dinghy of its size ever built.

The only dinghy that you can stand two adults on the side deck and the boat will still not capsize, this is due to the best dinghy Naval Architect in the world at the time Ian Proctor. His vision, to build the hull in a chined style method and to incorporate stability characteristics that would be unique and set this boat apart from all the other dinghies at the time of build and for many years to come.  With a proven track record of over sixty years. 

Successfully sailed in eighteen countries throughout the world, used by over 1,700 sailing schools, training centres and by many holiday sailing schools, with nearly 12,000 boats sold throughout the world.  The only sailing dinghy to sail from the UK waters to Denmark, with numerous channel crossings and just last year three Wayfarers circumnavigated completely round the UK.  This is a very special boat and we at Hartley Boats are very proud to be the builder. 

In 1995 when Hartley Boats was founded, the first boat we started to build was the Kestrel Race dinghy.  This was a safe and quick boat but, with a rounded hull it was easy to capsize.  Several months later we were fortunate to be offered the Wayfarer Copyright, patterns and the tooling. This was an opportunity we jumped at, with a massive investment but we were determined to buy, an opportunity like this could not be missed.

As the deal would take several months to complete we decided we should buy a new Wayfarer from Moore’s, the existing builder and we should sail and test the boat to ensure we understood thoroughly all the qualities and benefits of the boat.  The first sail was at a Wayfarer open race meeting in the Solent, big seas and strong winds, this was a good opportunity to test the boat.  On the first gybe mark as novice sailors we capsized, we were too slow and allowed the boat to invert.  We took a long time getting the boat back up and when righted we got the shock of our lives when we found it full of water, just like a bath.  Trying to sail a bath in big waves with strong winds was horrifying for two novice sailors, this was the end of our race.  I could only think “I have made a mistake and bought a bad boat”. Was I right with my views, with over 1,700 sailing schools and thousands of sailors, not just in the UK using the boat, who was Hartley Boats to criticise the number one cruising dinghy in the world?

Hartley Boats second sail was to sail the boat in medium winds, the boat was a joy to sail, light on the tiller, fabulous response and well balanced, we felt we could sail across the channel.  The next step was to capsize the boat, so I asked my crew who was 6ft 5” and weighing 14.5 stone to stand on the side-deck, lean back on the shrouds and pull the boat over, the boat dipped then stopped!  I was 6ft 2” and weighed 14.5 stone, so I stood on the side-deck with my crew and we went a little further down into the water and then stopped again.  My crew and I had to swing off the shrouds to force the Wayfarer over, I was shocked and amazed how STABLE the boat was and I now knew why the boat was so successful.  My joy, my whole view of the boat changed, this is the number one cruising dinghy in the world, if I could improve its bad points and weaknesses, I would have a world leader.

This special boat would need the best Naval Architect to achieve the very best results.  This was an easy decision as we had previously worked with Phil Morrison.  Having had time to compile a list of improvements and benefits we would like to see implemented to the old boat, we would meet Phil and convince him of the changes required and get him cracking with the list of changes.

The changes were, do not change the hull as this gives the Wayfarer a terrific advantage over any other sailing dinghy of its size, it is so STABLE and so forgiving.  Reduce the buoyancy in the side tanks as with many other dinghies they float too high with too much air in the tank.  You have to push under the water to right the boat, this is hard work, reducing the capacity would give a great benefit, being stable but not difficult to be righted and in-turn a much safer boat to sail.  Remove the bath of water in the boat when it comes up, a couple of inches of water that can be easily drained would be great.  Make sure you can still sit the Wayfarer on a mooring, we did not want to lose that key benefit.

We want a stunning boat with style that sailors would want to buy and own, flatten the foredeck, fit an easy to launch and retrieve spinnaker system, make the boat able to have an asymmetric or symmetric spinnaker system, make more room for the crew.  Move the thwart further aft in the boat, drop the inner skin nearer to the outer hull skin giving more depth to in-turn provide more leg room and make the boat more comfortable, put the bailers out of the way under the thwart, fit rear draining tubes would be another benefit.  Ensure it’s a self-draining floor with the minimum of boat maintenance needed.

Yes, get rid of that bulbous foredeck, make the boat stylish, sleeker and if we could incorporate the list of requirements and benefits, that would be great.  At this point in the meeting Phil turned to address my whole team and said “my name is Phil Morrison not Jesus Christ”.

Phil Morrisons respect for the original designer Ian Proctor came through loud and clear, he had decided with our team that the changes had to be right for the long-term success of this special boat. All the changes and benefits have transformed and improved the boat beyond the dreams of Hartley Boats.  We now have the most STABLE and safest 16ft (4.88m) sailing dinghy money can buy, the very best sailing dinghy of its size, designed to carry up to six adults or with fitting modification can be sailed easily and safely by just one person by leading the kicker, cunningham and centreboard controls to the centre of the boat, in order that the helm can fully control the boat without having to move from his seat. Launch and recovery is also made easy for a single-handed sailor with our simple ball-hitch adapter kit fitted to your launching trolley. Just hitch up and reverse your trolley into the water.

With an option of slab reefing main and a reefable genoa system the boat can be de-powered within twenty-five seconds following big wind changes, this makes the boat easy to handle, whatever the wind conditions.  There is also the option to fit either, an asymmetric or symmetric spinnaker system and give the customer the choice of which option is the best for them.  Additional options are back seats, a rear storage box to carry an outboard engine, dry clothes and of course the essential, cheese and wine.  We can also fit oars to give that real flexibility for the sailor.

The new boat can be built to your specification be it to a limited budget or with all the bells and whistles, you decide your requirements with the knowledge that the Hartley Boats Team will give you sound advice to ensure you get the fit-out right for your needs.

The Wayfarer Class Association have a large fleet of cruising members with training weekends and cruising trips not only in the UK, but sometimes abroad.  This is a friendly and family outing with the experienced members passing on all their experience and knowledge to other new cruising family’s.  When a new owner buys a Wayfarer, a full year’s membership to the Cruising Association is offered, free.  A new option offered by Hartley Boats is a tent, to convert your cruising Wayfarer to be able to sleep on-board, this will enhance your cruising experience.

We offer the choice of colour for the foredeck, cockpit and non-slip floor as well as the hull colour.  The boat weighs 183kgs and is a doddle to transport and tow.

When we sell a new boat, Hartley Boats likes to complete a full boat handover.  Not only to ensure that you understand how to rig your new boat but most importantly that you get the best from your new investment and enjoy sailing the boat and come of the water wanting to return and sail again.

We at Hartley Boats are very proud of our standards and build quality, to demonstrate that statement we are the only manufacturer to offer a 4-year guarantee. Should it be needed we are able to deliver.

They can have rear seats fitted or not and even a trapeze option. Also fit them out with masthead flotation to forestall inversion and all round bumpers to guard against bumps and scraped.

Although updated in 2008 by Phil Morrison to take full advantage of modern design, manufacturing and building techniques, the Wayfarer has an unrivalled pedigree and has been one of the worlds safest and most popular sailing dinghies since it was first designed as an all round training, cruising and racing dinghy by Ian proctor in 1957.

With options for jib furling, spinnakers and outboard motors this really is a hugely versatile craft.
