What an epic adventure. I can't wait for the next instalment! Beautiful scenery, mix of shots and the wind wasn't bad either by the looks of things. This is you best video yet in my opinion too.
These wayfarers dinghies seem well suited to this type of adventure It's a pity you can not get plans to build your own. At least not a plan that says Wayfarer there must be some close out there. When i get a chance I'll build my Salmo 15-S lugger got the plans got no time at moment.
The design is sitting on a sweet spot andhas a combination of qualities hasn't ever been bettered: many boats have specific advantages in one area, but generally at the loss of another. Hartley Boats are the copyright holders, and their business is all about selling new Mark IV boats, which is of course their perogative. Wooden Wayfarers do come up for sale and if you wanted to 'build' one the only avenue - and still be able to call it a Wayfarer - is a rebuild/restore ... it has been done.
Wayfarers were indeed origannly made from designer Ian Proctor's build plans, often as a kit from likes of Smallcraft, UK, a few decades back. I had the plans from my 1st Wayfarer, back in the 80s, but sadly now long gone. You could try contact th UK Wayfarer Owners Association.
the sailing bit is generally the easiest so long as you've had enough hours on the water - but there are plenty of challenges on most of these trips and those are the times you don't have the camera out - you're too busy dealing with it!!
Glad you didn't go a Cap-Sizun! Enjoying this series..Greetings from NYC!
