About United States Wayfarer Association

With a Wayfarer, you can do it all –
* Learn to Sail
* Day-sail or Cruise to Adventures
* Race with spinnakers

It easily tows, launches from trolleys, fits in a garage.

Originally designed by Ian Proctor in 1957, Hartley boats has reimagined the class thanks to Phil Morrison with Mark 4’s. This amazing design has sailed from Scotland to Iceland – you’re invited to read about Frank Dye’s adventures for the ultimate cruising adventurer with a Wayfarer.

In the United States, we host a U.S. National Regatta and Easterns, and every other year a North American Wayfarer Regatta shared with our Canadian Wayfarer Association. Every three years there is an International Competition.
