The Wayfarer has the big advantage of holding its value and the Wayfarer Association have some family focused events such as the Wayfarer Week at Ullswater.

I'm having a bit of trouble with the Trio as a classic... it is actually quite a modern boat compared to the Wayfarer. It does show in in terms of layout, but the assy is a bit of a bolt on, and the rest of the rig is actually rather less developed than the Wayfarer. Mind, despite the look of the Bahia and Vision rigs, they are also very crude compared to a modern, racing Wayfarer.

The telegraph pole mast is one of the main reasons I'd struggle to enjoy owning a Trio. Reefing comes early because you can't really deposed.

I'd love a MK IV but it's a bit out of my price range. I've been looking at a nice MK II might call later to inquire.

I have just bought a Wayfarer Mark II. Looking forward to my First Sail in her tomorrow. Rupert if you are around at the club tomorrow would love a hand to rig the kite. Thanks for all the input everyone will let you know how I get on. Bit of a trip down memory lane as my Dad had one when I was growing up.

A wise choice, much better than a plastic milk bottle.

Looks good! Hope you found all the bits and got on the water.

The boat is spot on really happy with it had a couple of small repairs to do on her mainly fittings. I have had her out on the water twice & was really nice sail. Will hopefully be trying out the kite this weekend.
