Roy, the Wayfarer (I now realise) is all I wanted in a boat ... I spent years sailing Enterprises, and needed something just a bit bigger, training-friendly, truly seaworthy & (for a dinghy) stable. Mertensia's it.
"A seaworthy dinghy?" some might ask. Sixty-year-old Wayfarer Nipegegi finished, tonight, a fifteen day and four hours sail around mainland Britain without stopping or replenishment. Quite an adventure: I suspect it's a record that'll stand for some time.
