A GRP Leader might work nicely, though.

Nice boat and probably the ideal compromise but, I suspect, significantly over the OPs budget.

Try the Wanderer! It's a 14 ft small brother of the Wayfarer.
It's much much easier to manhandle ashore than a Wayfarer... COlin

If you can remember handling Enterprise on shore 30 years ago, Wayfarer probably 3 times heavier, first class cruising boat, but you need to think about handling ashore.

Thanks guys
I really want a wayfarer as Like the idea of cruising. Really want this to perfect Sailing technique 100 meters from the club Slipway . Last sailed 30 years ago On an enterprise at Rutland water. I wasn't any good then either. The deal breaker I think for it Is will it take a small outboard Just to get us out of trouble If needed. I know a lot of wayfarers Have a little 2.5hp Honda on the back Thanks again John |

Hi John,
Have owned many old grp dinghies over the years. A few have been mistakes but most have been a cheap way of getting on the water. If 15 feet long suspect this is a Kestrel, as said. Good tough boats to play around in, though powerful so some care needed. |

Hi John,
Just trying to help, both jimc and myself are members of CVRDA, which is a forum for people who sail and restore old and unusual boats. Plenty of Y&Y members are also very knowledgeable regarding repairing boats and how to get the best out of sailing any particular boat, please don't hesitate to ask for help or advice. I would speculate that the majority of sailors don't buy £10,000 boats, has iGRF will tell you sailors are a tight fisted lot.

I would add, often GRP boats from the sixties had MDF blocks not wood inserts.
