UK Wayfarer Association

Wayfarer Plus S - GRP

By introducing sandwich construction for the hull and chines and strengthening the structure of the mast tabernacle in 1991, the hull of the GRP Wayfarer was given the same degree of stiffness and weight distribution as that of a wooden Wayfarer, thereby negating any advantage that racing owners of wooden boats felt they had over the GRP ones. The design of the forward bulkhead reverted from the shelf on the Mark II to the Mark I concept of having a full depth tank with only a small inspection hatch access (though a larger cover is available for cruisers if required).

Cruiser's comment: Fitted with a large hatch to forward compartment, these have same stowage capabilities as Mark 1. Short forward benches good for stowage. Check height under thwart if you wish to sleep on board. All -round boat for cruising and racing.
