The WAYFARER is an English dinghy comparable to the Caravelle in France. It has all the advantages of the Caravelle without the disadvantages. It is lighter than the Caravelle (169 kgs) and can therefore be handled by hand on a slipway. The Wayfarer is also more powerful and fun to steer. Finally, it's safer, more stable and easier to right.

English touring dinghy for safe cruising with family and friends. Can accommodate up to 6 people for day trips or longer itineraries (possibility of camping on the boat and watertight lockers for your belongings). Can be sailed or motorized.

The WAYFARER belongs to a special category of dinghies known as rando dinghies. This category is unique. They are not to be confused with the sporty dinghies so well known in sailing centers. The approach to sailing with rando dinghies allows you to concentrate on the pleasure of sailing, and forget all the worries and complexity that can be involved in setting up a more conventional sailboat (mast only possible in a minute, neoprene not compulsory, etc.).
