Hard to right in a crash.

So I've heard, luckily never had it over though in all my travels.

do it! I got one sooo cheap, made a boom tent and off to the lake district/norfolk broads!

Note to you. Don't. Buy a laser 16 cruising.

ne cesaret!

Yeeeees, just bought a cracker for £380

Thanks :-)

Me too!

+Rob Plevin (Behaviour Needs) Thanks Rob:-)

I think it must have been in the late 80’s. I recall attending a presentation in the 90’s at a falcon resort

You are right there is a lot more to tell, One day I will get it all down in a book :-)

Thank you :-)

They are not capsize proof though.

It deserves more, wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it :)

Truly amazing what you accomplished sailing in a 16' dinghy. It gives me much more confidence in my 36 year old CL sixteen. I need to mount some oarlocks and set it up for rowing as the backup motive force.

Just watched it again for the 4th time. I have a line on a wayfarer 2.. I am sorely tempted! Although I'll have to sell one of my other boats..

Very, very interesting!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us. I cant imagine what that would be like out there

Our pleasure, it's easy to enjoy your epic sailing adventure.

Gareth, small boat cruising and camping is great fun. Many coasts don't have safe places for keel yachts etc but a Wayfarer can get into any fishing port no matter what the depth of water.

Great go for it :-)

Thank you :-)

Hopefully one day :-)

Glad you enjoyed the story :-)

😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍 Thank you, for sharing this amazing video, Sir!

Thank you 🙂

Just Turkey was a tour company back in the 80's and 90's.

Go for it Wayfarers are great little boats for adventure :-)

Hi Mike, The Felucca "Ayesha" I worked here in Lefkada Greece for many years but had to sell her and move on.

Hi Vim, only had a couple of doggy moments in middle Egypt, the rest of the trip was fine.

This boat I think you are talking about was Ayesha an Egyptian Felluca . That boat now is kept at Meganissi island by Lefkada Is western Greece :-)

Hi Ken. I made this to help stop green waves coming over the bow. Also helped with spray etc :-)

Wayfarer Mk 4 . In all my trip I did not capsize and yes Wayfarers are difficult to right so best avoided. :-)

After many years of sailing her in the Ionian waters with tourists I had to sell her. She is still here but not now with her large lateen rig.

Absolutely awesome

The Classic boat mag and it was Jan 1996 page 72 on :-)

Get a different cruising dinghy.

@@Kitiwake lol i got a plastic canoe, I was planing on useing with a home made sail kit.......but when i took it out, I slipped on an algae covered boat ramp knocking me out for a few seconds. I ended up in the ER getting stitches over my eye and treatment for flesh eating bacteria and three different bacterial infections and a staph infection.. New Bern North Carolina has got to have the most slickest algea in the US. Atleast i was already planning on getting new glasses... lol. Back to the planning stages..

Just an update. I ended up losing part of my foot.. a big toe mostly. Had a blood infection also. But I did survive. I tried the trip in a small plywood boat that ended up breaking apart and turned out the screws and fasteners were rotted and not made for the salt water. I saved the sails and some of the hardware. I did sail it a few weeks before it started to come apart at the seams and I mean that quite literally. I can not complain because the boat was free, and the lady that gave it to me had just repainted it and it seemed very solid. After a week in the salt water the paint started coming loose and I could see the rust from the metal screws. The mast was wooden and the boom was aluminum. I sold it to guy building a home made boat, for a whopping $300 USD. But I still have my eye on a project Lightning. I figure if all goes well, next spring I'll give it another. try.

It was cool .....thanks :-)

you still can't travel by land without Police escort, due to bandits and terrorists.

Ha Ha :-)

Hi John, Not as much these days but do a lot of fishing etc :-) you can find me on www.villaoctavius.com

18 months Joel :-)

+Snake Plisken Ayesha is in the shipyard at Nidri now. I sold her many years ago, now she is up for sale once again but with a lot of work needed someone could pick her up for a snip:-)

Is that a laser 16 ? if so the biggest problem is space to stow things and to sleep

+Llama Power Careful sailing and planning :-)
