  • I popped over the sound from Malmö/Sweden to Dragør/Denmark to sail with Ken in his Wayfarer W1348 "Maitken". Was a very cold and windy day, but were both well dressed up for it. Beautiful day, with sleet and light rain and sun. Its always a pleasure sailing with Ken.

    I hope I will be like Ken.
    I also bought my Wayfarer nearly the same age.
    If you have more videos of Ken especially talking about his boat, please share with us.
    By the way nice idea for the main reefing.

      Hello and thank you for the comment. Ken is a big fan of roller reefing, I might be wrong but I believe it was the original setup for the Wayfarer back in the days. Also he loves talking about his boat so could happen. I like your W-videos!

    Excellent sailing. I noticed how Ken instinctively bore away when hit by big waves from windward. Wishing you Good Sailing.

    I have a similar boat, a Tanzer 16 and she has roller reefing too! It works great. I also sail without a motor. Very impressive video.

      I have a Tanzer 16, too, which is why I stopped at this site. I hope you enjoy yours.

      @@briansmythe3219 No ballast. The main is reefed and the jib unrolled. Common sense and experience.
