Hartley Boats Wayfarer T.K Trainer The Ultimate Training Dinghy

Hartley Boats are proud to announce the launch of our new Wayfarer TK Trainer.
How, you might ask, can I state this is the best training boat in the world? It is as follows; the boom is higher (more headroom), controls led back to centre, reef down in seconds with slab reefing on the main and our furling reefable genoa system. Then, take weight out of the construction and fit a 60kg cast-iron ballasted centreboard making the boat virtually impossible to capsize. When forced over it will not invert and rights itself but, when in waves with water on its sails just a little help with one hand on the centreboard and the boat rights. This boat is so stable and easy to sail.
During testing with full sails, asymmetric kite flying in windy conditions, gybing, sailing single-handed was easy.
The decision to take the weight out of the hull and put it into the 60k cast-iron ballasted centreboard has delivered a well-balanced training boat that does not require a more powerful rig.
