The Small Craft Ltd. Wayfarer is a 4.8-meter fractional sloop centerboard dinghy designed by Ian Proctor in 1957, originally available in plywood and kit form.3:19 Over 11,000 units have been built, including fiberglass versions licensed to Whitby Boat Works and the Canadian CL16 variant, which shares the same wetted hull shape and sail plan.1:41 The Wayfarer's retractable centerboard allows for beach launching and shallow-water operation, and its stable, deep hull accommodates three adults, making it suitable for sailing schools, day cruising, and one-design racing.1:46 Practical Sailor notes that while newer Mark IV models feature asymmetric spinnakers and self-draining cockpits, many cruising sailors prefer the Mark I for its superior storage and resistance to turtling.7:53 Hartley Boats manufactures Wayfarers using foam sandwich construction, post-curing hulls in an oven, and using class-specific drilling jigs for fittings.6:21 Aboard *practicalboatowner*, the Hartley Boats Wayfarer Weekender demonstrated exceptional stability during an on-water test at Castleton Sailing Club, simplifying tacking and general boat handling.1:39 Aboard *Sailing Suria*, Riki sailed a Wayfarer dinghy with a young neighbor in Greece.10:02
