Double-handed sailing dinghy Wanderer

regatta

If your requirement for a racing boat is a double-hander that in the right sailing conditions will get up and plain and be a very exciting ride and, if you want a comfortable seating position, a deep floor for your legs, a high boom to make tacking and gybing easy but most importantly a boat that can handle any wind conditions, a boat that is so STABLE you can stand two average adults on the side-deck without the boat capsizing. A boat that you can push, sail hard and even make the odd mistake and the boat will not capsize, it will just look after you. A boat that if big seas and winds are forecast you can sail with the knowledge the boat is built for and can handle those conditions, you will be safe and you will come off the water with a smile. The improvements made to reduce the buoyancy in the side-tanks on the new Hartley Wanderer was a game changer. Should you get the gybe wrong and the boat capsizes, the boat does not float as high as many other dinghies and this makes the centreboard lower in the water, easier to climb onto and pushing less air in the side-tanks makes the boat come up easier. The difference in the new Wanderer is it is not full of water when righted you just push down the bailers and get on with your racing. The new boat can be built to your specification be it on a limited budget or with all bells and whistles, you decide your requirements with the knowledge that the Hartley Boats Team will give you sound advice to ensure you get the fit-out right for you. You can even choose your hull, foredeck, cockpit, non-slip floor colours and have your boat name logo on the side of the hull.
