Because I am relatively new to restoring wooden boats, I will be using the Wayfarer UK Association website to help with any queries and questions I may have. my first issue, which the old owner pointed out, is that there may be some rot underneath the duck boards. Firstly I have done some gentle tapping with a hammer and this is what I thought was the rot
I normaly race skiffs and double handed trapeze dinghies and yacht race, however I have recently decided to purchase a beautifal new wayfarer which I hope to repair properly, with no glass fibre
