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
