Compete, Win and have Fun:

Updated throughout the year


Wayfarers have raced at Waldringfield for more than 20 years and now the Club probably has the largest fleet of regularly racing Wayfarers in the UK.

Boats sailed vary from the still very competitive 47 year old wayfarer no.33 to some of the latest boats on the water, demonstrating the value and longevity of this

Many Waldringfield Wayfarers, of all levels of ability, compete in the UK open championship meetings with a good rate of success. Six boats from Waldringfield travelled in 2005 to the Wold Championships in Canada as part of the team representing the UK and five of them finished in the top ten. Everybody had fun??

Enjoy sailing a Wayfarer in other ways:

  • Recently introduced  the Club has included a number of cruising events in the programme, to encourage further the cruising activities amongst all classes.

  • On-the-water training sessions within the fleet, including a training day. These formal training sessions are supplemented by a 'buddy' system, where helms from the front of the fleet are paired with less experience helms for ad hoc advice and coaching.

  • The Wayfarer fleet is very friendly, and all enjoy the various social events at the Club. The Wayfarer class holds well attended pre-season and end-of-season social events, together with a river-side barbecue in the summer.

If you are interested in finding out more about joining the Wayfarer fleet at Waldringfield, either helming your own boat or as a crew (always in demand), then please contact the
